NOVEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Sets new career-high scoring mark Wiggins finished Tuesday's 108-76 win over Alcorn State with 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes.

Impact Wiggins led all FSU players in scoring, although players such as Lajae Jones (18 points, seven boards) and Robert McCray (12 points, 17 assists) also had strong performances. Wiggins spent the first three years of his college career with Clemson, but he certainly turned heads with his FSU debut. This 22-point output was a career-high mark for the senior forward.

Commits to Florida State Wiggins has committed to Florida State, according to Alex Byington of On3.com.

Impact For the 2024-25 NCAA season, Florida State's primary forwards include Jamir Watkins and Taylor Bol Bowen. Watkins' extra year of collegiate eligibility may not go through, and Bol Bowen entered the NCAA's transfer portal. Wiggins had a tough time defeating Ian Schieffelin to maximize his prowess as a stretch four, but that is something that may be rectified for FSU.

Leaving Clemson after three years Wiggins has entered the transfer portal, Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com reports.

Impact Wiggins was the starter early in the season for Clemson, before being replaced by Dillon Hunter, and then ultimately taking that spot back when Hunter went out with injury late in the year. Wiggins is probably best utilized as a small-ball power forward where his ability to space the floor can help an offense create openings. He should have one more season of eligibility remaining at his next school.

Back in starting role Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Louisville, Derrian Carter of The Greenville News reports.

Impact The Tigers will be forced to tweak their starting lineup for this game due to the absence of Dillon Hunter (hand), so Wiggins will return to the first unit. He's averaging 9.5 points and 3.2 boards per game in his 24 previous starts.

Back to bench Thursday Wiggins is not starting Thursday's game versus SMU, the team announced.

Impact Wiggins started in Saturday's win over Virginia Tech, but he had come off the bench in the previous seven games. He returns back to the bench Thursday with Chase Hunter getting the starting nod. In his seven games off the bench this season, Wiggins is averaging 5.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15 minutes per game.

Removed from starting five Wiggins won't start for Clemson against Duke on Saturday night.

Impact Wiggins has started every game this season for the Tigers, and it's unclear why he's been pulled from the starting five, although we have to consider an injury at this point. Wiggins averages 9.6 points and 3.0 rebounds this season. He's been replaced by Dillon Hunter in the starting five.

Records 16 in victory Wiggins totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and five rebounds over 34 minutes during Saturday's 72-57 win over Virginia Tech.

Impact It was the most points for Wiggins since Jan. 1, and he also matched his season high in three-pointers made in the outing -- an impressive note for a 6-11 forward. As a full-time starter for the Tigers in 2024-25, Wiggins has increased his scoring and rebounding numbers while maintaining a career-best 48.1 field-goal percentage.

Goes for 17 points Wiggins finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 85-71 victory over Stanford.

Impact Wiggins established a new season-high mark in scoring Wednesday, and he recorded double-digit points for the first time since Dec. 3, when he delivered 12 points in a win over Kentucky. Wiggins has struggled with consistency, but he's averaging a solid 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this season.

Scores team-high 16 points Wiggins ended Thursday's 79-51 win over Radford with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes.

Impact Wiggins was efficient from the field and led Clemson in scoring, which is surprising given that the Tigers also feature several capable offensive players such as Viktor Lakhin, Ian Schieffelin and Chase Hunter, just to name a few. This was Wiggins' second game with at least 10 points, but his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside a bit.
