and maybe you will go away

Re: Recruits

Who were those three kids? Locals?

Not all of them. Besides, do you remember seeing 6'6"/6'7" locals around town put together like those guys. I don't think so. 8)

Who is Dana Ford?

Who is Perry Ellis? He is a local 8th grader and that is all I know.

I assume you are talking about three kids at the game.

I know nothing about them, so if someone has information, please share.

Now that wasn't very nice. Gal always could do that, thus freeing up a scholarship.

[Hotel Paper]

seriously, what the hell was that for? I don't mean that as anything insulting. I'm just thinking who go possibly go.

[pinstripers]

JMHO......
Clemente will likely be back
Griskenas will likely be back, unless he plays in Europe
Gal is surely up in the air, and besides, he could go play in Europe
Ellis could be homesick, or tired of this system
Hatch would be no surprise
Durley would be no surprise
Butler will surely go spend a year at a juco and then move on from there
Wendell only stays if Coach is influenced by that "senior thing", which I agree is a consideration

[wsu789]

Pin, unless Durley just doesn't want to work as hard as Marshall wants him to (which is quite possible), I would be surprised not to see him back. He should be able to play well in this system, if he is willing to work. It allows him freedom on offense, which he appears to relish. Seems to me Ellis is the kind of guy who could really prosper in this system on both ends, so I would be surprised to see him not return. I agree on the others, though I could see a senior guard moving to a D2 so he could play more his final year in school.

Durley would be no surprise
no surprise in going?

well actually i meant yesterday before the games about 3 oclock, but yea he had Perry Ellis on one side of the court working on the court and then on the other side was 3 younger kids working, i would guess they were about 5th grade, but they could play too, they were all dribbling between their legs. I thought it was interesting. I thought it was him so after they were done, i went ahead asked him if he was perry ellis and he said yea he was, he was a pretty nice kid. Then at the game i saw perry Ellis had a front row seat I just thought it was pretty interesting

Dana does provide training by the hour/group for a fee, there are handouts from the shooting camp on this.

I don't want to get into the whole "Wendell" thing but to say this one time.


Wendell has done everything asked of him from day 1. You cannot point to one instance either on or off the court that he has done anything but be a great ambassador of WSU basketball. You have never seen him pound his heart, pull on his uniform or try to garner any attention for himself. He is the comsumate team player. He is a quiet, humble and honest young man who is going to get his degree and he deserves to get it right here. He tries as hard as any 2 guys in doing whatever it takes to make the team successful. He is a terrific student athlete.

We could do a hell of a lot worse than give another year of a scholarship to Wendell Preadom.

And, yes, I understand he is never going to be a scorer.


He is not a miss, imho.

Very well stated Doc. We don't run Wendell off for his senior season!
