Former Shockers Media Mentions & Updates

[1972Shocker]

My main man. Of course, these days that would have been 3 of his who knows how many points.

Dave was really special. I remember the game against Michigan and Cazzie Russell. What a game!!!!! Go Shockers.

This may have been posted before, as it's a year old, but here's an interview with the Praylow twins. The bulk of the WSU talk starts around the 51-minute mark. But earlier on they mention how their high school coach didn't tell them most of the schools who were interested in them. They only knew that WSU offered them both and he told them it was the best place for them.

There's also a great humanitarian story that starts about at the 1 hour, 11 minute mark. They talk about reaching out to "Xavier", who I assume to be X-Man.

Great to hear their stories. Tremendous example of how good parenting molds you for success. I’m glad that their experience was good in Wichita. Keep supporting WSU. It does make a difference in these athletes lives.

I still shake my head at some of Ross’s games; the dude could tickle the twine with the best and stroke from every direction. As they said back in our day, Ross was the bee’s knees.

P.S. Dear new ADKS; hang Ross’s jersey in the rafters where it belongs.

Toure Murray has decided to retire from playing professionally.

[SubGod22]

I could see Toure' becoming a pretty good coach one day.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Great playing career and seems to really have his priorities in order. Happy for him. I forgot he played in so many NBA games. Looking forward to seeing how his next chapter plays out.

When Fred was in summer ball before his rookie season, he squared off against Toure. Toure locked him up. Not sure I had seen that before or since.

In my lifetime the most physical Shocker guard I have witnessed.

Ron Baker doesn’t become Ron Baker without Toure Murry. I remember Ron once talking about how he hated having to go up against Toure every day in practice during his redshirt season.

[WeWillShockU2]

Toure was a great player. I’m sure he will be successful as a coach.
