Here's the Wiggins quote about the Hurricanes:
"I guess there past," Wiggins said of what caught his attention about Miami. Just as far as them being a defensive school. How many people they have put into the league.
"It's also down South in Florida, so it's a place like where many of my family members also see as a good fit. That's something else I'll look at."
Inside the full interview below, Wiggins discussed Miami defensive line coach Jason Taylor, as well as his interest in other programs like Florida and Florida State among others.
With the upside that Wiggins has at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, look for him to be a priority recruit for numerous programs.
