Poor Doug Wiggins

doug-yell

Doug Wiggins still holds the school record for Coach Cal heart attacks induced with four in 2007-08.

After being jettisoned from both UConn and UMass, the starcrossed point guard is done with New England. And while he's at it, the entire NCAA.

From Mike Anthony's blog:

"Doug Wiggins' next destination? While nothing is set in stone, he's showing great interest in ...

"Campbellsville University, an NAIA school in Kentucky."

As I believe Anthony pointed out a few days ago, Wiggins is in desperate need of a change of scenery. But something tells me the often brash 21-year-old isn't going to fit in well in a place where natives call themselves "Steeple People" and the "Campbellsvillians of note" include about half a dozen Republicans and some guy with a Southern grocery store chain.

Oh, and the basketball team was 10-19 last season.

Poor, poor Doug Wiggins.

could he not play overseas anywhere? Like, the Ukraine?

I’m not sure he’s good enough. I think the perception is any decent D-I player can play overseas, and for the most part that’s true. But he’s a seven-ppg undersized point guard with an affinity for misdemeanor arrests. I’m not even sure Niger would be interested.

Poor kid. He was never the same after Cognacgate ’08.

What an asshole though, seriously. He got busted for friggin’ b+e. Seriously Doug?
