The Charlotte 49ers have signed Florida-transfer Braxton Ogbueze, a point guard who was a top-100 prospect when he left Charlotte’s United Faith Christian Academy two years ago.

Mike Krzyzewski made $9.7 million in 2011. That’s significantly more than NC State paid its athletic director, football coach and basketball coach combined. It’s also the most of any college coach since USA Today started tracking salaries in 2006.

The nation’s top basketball recruit, Andrew Wiggins, chose Kansas over North Carolina and two others. Wiggins likely would have started for the Tar Heels from day one, but their cupboard is hardly bare.

Andrew Wiggins, the top-rated prospect in the country, will announce Tuesday where he intends to play what is almost certainly his one year of college basketball, choosing among North Carolina, Florida State, Kansas and Kentucky.

Andrew Wiggins, the 6-foot-7 forward at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, will announce Tuesday whether he will play at UNC, or at one of the three other schools he's considering. Florida State, Kansas and Kentucky are Wiggins' other three finalists.
