I don't know when Wilson will make up his mind, if hasn't done that already. However, the 6-foot-7 combo forward from Racine (Wisc.) Horlick did make a statement this month about when he would publicly announce his decision. He told Kyle Heikkinen of BadgerBlitz.com of the Rivals.com network that he would make his announcement on the birthday of his mother, who passed away a year ago from cancer.

"I know I'm going to decide on March 8, 2009," Wilson told BadgerBlitz.com. "I decided on that date because it's my mother's birthday. I know my mom would be proud, and since she's not here to make the decision with me, I decided to do it on her birthday."

Wilson, the No. 33 ranked prospect in the class of 2009, has already picked up offers from Baylor, Iowa State, Marquette, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The two in-state schools, Marquette and Wisconsin, have been recruiting him the hardest and the longest. Those two have an upper hand in his recruitment right now.
