    PIKEVILLE, KY. — Canadian talent Ray Kasongo is on the move and he hopes his game — and his recruiting profile — will benefit as a result.

    The 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward plans to play the 2013-2014 high school basketball season at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy in Delafield, WI.

    Kasongo — part of a new wave of Canadian talent playing South of the border — has played the past two seasons in the Appalachians of Eastern Kentucky. In 2011-2012, he played at East Ridge High School (Lick Creek, KY), and this past year, he was just 30 miles down the road at district rival Pikeville (KY) High School.

    Andrew Wiggins, Articles

    While the basketball world waits for Andrew Wiggins to make an announcement on his college choice, his brother says no decision has yet been made.

    “The days are counting down,” Nick Wiggins, Andrew’s older brother and a junior at Wichita State, told SNY.tv. “When he is ready to make his decision he will make it.”

    The NCAA late signing period runs through May 15, meaning Andrew Wiggins could sign a Letter of Intent through that date. If he were to make his decision after that date, he could just sign scholarship papers.
