Sorry, I guess it was too subtle. His autograph is on the Final Four chair that Nick Wiggins is selling.

Go Shockers - Catching Up: Bret Wise
Wise, now an optometrist in Wichita, earned the team's Academic Leadership Award as a redshirt in 2002 and the next two seasons before graduating and leaving for optometry school.
Wise remembers the double-overtime loss to Florida State (76-65) in 2004 in Koch Arena as an indication about the potential for the program.
"My ears were ringing after that game," he said. "Everybody was so excited. The community just wanted us to succeed and really got behind us. Right then, even though I was leaving, I could tell the university and the basketball team were definitely moving in the direction, when you have that kind of support."
Wise, a Wichita Eagle All-State pick in 2000 at Emporia High, knew what Turgeon expected from him.
"I was one of the lucky people that come in and realized what my role is going to be," he said. "It's not going to be me scoring 20 points. It was me coming in off the bench to give good defense and rebound. I took pride in that."

Bret was an unsung hero. One of those guys that won't fill up the stat sheet, but was going to bust his ass to do what he was there to do. Kind of like a Hatch or Wessel or Ben Smith. Gritty guy that was going to work hard and fight for everything.

I second this. Also, as an example of how, in the pre-NIL days, student-athletes could eventually get paid by playing the long game, I started using Bret as my eye doctor because of his connection to Shocker Basketball. How many people hooked up with Evan Wessel as their financial advisor for that same reason?
