I have no problem with them only using those that finished their college playing days in Wichita. It truly does make the most sense for them.
As fans, we can follow the others. Ricky left because he was poorly used and had a better opportunity at the NBA elsewhere. Dex got to play a little closer to home for a year. Being that Dex got his degree here, I could see him getting an exception and being added.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
RIP Guy Always A Shocker
Carpenter Place - A blessing to many young girls/women
ICT S.O.S - Great local cause fighting against human trafficking
Wartick Insurance Agency - Saved me money with more coverage.
Save Shocker Sports - A rallying cry

Must admit I wasn’t thrilled with any of them leaving. Austin was my favorite player. Ricky was my favorite player. Dex was one of my favorite players. The bitterness wore off as I realized it was probably best for each of them. Austin might have got caught with his hands in the cookie jar. Ricky wasn’t good enough to start (wink). Dex needed a change of scenery and could see the train wreck coming.

I think it would be kinda weird to include guys that have transferred. Do any of the three in the NBA claim WSU when they're announced, tv graphics, etc? If no, they shouldn't be included.
Personally, I consider Dexter a shocker. He graduated from the university. 4 year grad transfers sting less. However, he interacts with everything that TA&M posts and doesn't seem to care about anything WSU. Rickey frequently talked about how much he loved Wichita, still interacts with social media stuff, and has been to a WSU game. Austin has had nothing to do with WSU since he left.

I just based it on the Athletic Department not mentioning the other two-way players who were on opening day rosters Left off Dexter, which seems petty as he spent 4 years in Wichita and got a degree. Now, guys like Ricky / Austin don't really bother me, but Ricky did spend 66% of his career in Wichita and committed to play for Marshall. Honestly its splitting hairs, but I'd rather have more guys on that graphic than less.

He was half a world away when Forbes got shocking news from his daughter: "Mom's had a stroke." Now he is coaching her through the fight of their lives.
I know this article was posted on that website that shut down shortly after.
But this is a reposting of it, the story of Steve Forbes and his family enduring the challenges of his wife having a stroke this summer.78-65
