Why it Rocks to Be a High School Hoops Phenom, in One Photo

Andrew Wiggins is thought of by many as the best high school basketball prospect since LeBron James. He's currently in the process of deciding where to play his college ball for, in all likelihood, one year before taking his talents to the NBA.

While on a recruiting visit to Florida State University on Wednesday afternoon, the following photo of Wiggins enjoying some quality time with female students hit the web via @KySportsRadio. It sparked a round of minor hysteria among college basketball recruitniks, fans and media members -- along with a host of He Got Game references -- on Twitter.

One of the young ladies in the photo then sent Wiggins this tweet, which -- unfortunately yet predictably -- led to a whole bunch of harassment:

@22wiggins If my girls and I didn't convince you to come to FSU last night I don't know what would! #wiggins #FSU— Nosilla (@NosillaDraw) December 5, 2012

She handled the trolling like a pro, though, so check out her profile for a srteam of witty repartee and hater annihilation. And if you're curious why college sports fans are in such a frenzy over Wiggins, watch this video:
