Not sure what "Wiggins was #1 for UConn" means?  Do you mean he was the PG?  Do you mean he was the best player?  Do you mean he was the #1 priority?  What the heck does that mean? 
 
Yes, I'm sure you know people at UConn, so do I.  I won't bother getting into a pissing match on who knows more people or has better contacts. 
 
The APR is about 50% because of people like the ones you listed.  The other 50% is due to kids like Edwards, Robinson, etc. who all were at UConn 4 years but left without finishing up to go pursue pro aspirations. 
 
Umm, I wrote SJU "stole" Harkless.  I put the word stole in quotes as a way of trying to relay the fact neither player was stolen.  Harkless decided to pull his verbal with the help of his people.  Same thing Wiggins did.  The only difference was the reason why they pulled their verbal.  Wiggins was a CT kid who wanted UConn all along.  Harkless did freak out about Giffey, Roscoe was a verbal before Harkless was.
 
Where would I have implied Austrie wasn't a good kid?  I just said he was probably told his PT wasn't going to be much and he decided to stay instead of transferring.  Not every transfer on you list was a bad kid.  Trice was probably as nice a kid as Austrie and also a good student (for example).
