I agree that NO ONE should ever feel "comfortable" with their position. Competition is always a good thing (see Pete Carroll). If DM and staff can convince KW to come to the Beach we would be that much better off and VERY deep. Based on the comments I heard and articles I've read on him, he's potentially the classic kid that thinks he should be going, playing and starting at a higher level than he's probably suited for. In any event, I trust DM to make the right call!

: This makes perfect sense if you think about

:
: 1. He de-committed from UCLA which is a top

:
: 2. If he has a visit to Penn scheduled (Ivy

: about any sort of hoop career once college
: is over, NO one is going to argue that a
: degree from an Ivy league school is worth
: LESS than a degree from The Beach.
:
: 3. We already have a PG (Ware) that he'd
: have to beat out for PT. Ware would be a 2
: yr starter (and a Junior) when Wilson would
: be a Fr. Ware would beat him out, which
: would leave Wilson as a backup for 1-2
: years? Why do that when another school in a
: major conference has an immediate need?
:
: Let him go and find his happiness, I think
