Pass/Fail:

Lead

"He served part of the suspension before withdrawing from school to prepare for the upcoming draft." - please clarify which upcoming draft Wisewman was preparing for

High school career

"By the summer of 2016," - try not to mention seasons per MOS:SEASON
"He joined the St. Louis Eagles Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team." - please removed the acronyms in parentheses since they are not used anywhere else in the article
Also, please added when exatly Wiseman joined the St. Louis Eagles AAU team
Wikilink points, rebounds and blocks to the relevant articles
"Wiseman was ruled ineligible for his junior season by the TSSAA" - you can shorten this sentence so that it reads as the TSSAA ruled Wiseman ineligible for his junior season
"while appearing in the McDonald's All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic, and Nike Hoop Summit." - the Jordan Brand Classic, and the Nike Hoop Summit.

Recruting

"On November 29, Wiseman signed a National Letter of Intent to play for Memphis." - I think you want to make it clear that Wiseman signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball

College career

"He was sidelined from the team's two preseason games in October with an ankle injury." - you can state Wiseman sustained a right ankle injury as stated in The Commercial Appeal source used to cite this sentence
"as the Tigers defeated South Carolina State, 97-64." - please use an en dash (–) instead of a hyphen per MOS:DASH
"ruled him ineligible." - ineligible to play for Memphis.
"Hours later," - how many hours later exactly?
" he had 17 points and nine rebounds to lead Memphis past UIC, 92-46." - same issue as the second query in this subsection
"He was one of the highest rated prospects in his class." - please state if possible who regarded Wiseman as "one of the highest rated prospects in his class."

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to suggest an edit to remove the statement that Wiseman played college basketball at Memphis and edit it to tell the truth. I suggest adding that he only played 3 games at Memphis, all while ineligible due to his recruiting scandal. I would like to add that he left the school after being suspend when it was found out that coach Hardaway had payed Wiseman’s mother during his recruitment. 2601:545:C001:1A20:65E1:2724:5AB2:4435 (talk) 19:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:21, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to revert

Just went to revert a height change done by an IP user and saw different heights listed. NBA.com has him at 6'11" and Basketball-Reference.com has 7'0". Hard to revert without being 100% sure. The NFL has this same problem with weight between PFR and NFL.com. - Bringingthewood (talk) 02:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
