Originally posted by WuDrWuI 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.
He is not at all lacking in character, but he is lacking in basketball skill. He is athletic, but not athletic enough or tall enough to overcome his lack of skill.
I absolutely do agree that he should be here next year on scholarship. He has earned it. I am sure he will be a good ambassador for WSU the rest of his life. I will also be disappointed if he plays more than 6-8 minutes a game, because he just isn't very good.

Maggie, Wendell has started at least 2 games that I know of, but I too hope that he gets Sr night recognition.

Dana Ford is a Grad. Asst. (I think he played at Ill. St right?) I've seen him work with those kids before. Ellis is a monster for an 8th grader. He's got a nice shot and can already dunk. Hopefully, we can keep working with him and get him here. One of the younger kids is a 6th grader, his little brother is a 4th grader. Not sure about the other kid. Their father is Ellis' AAU coach.

As for WP, I agree that he's done what has been asked of him and should be given a scholy for his senior year.
Now to say he was 'not a miss'.. I dunno about that. Honestly, WP hasn't panned out to what a lot of us were initially told about him. He plays pretty good D and can somewhat handle the point. I hate to call him a Craig Steven, but that's what he comes off as.
Great kid though. No doubt.Deuces Valley.

He takes care of the ball and is a great defender, plus Senior leadership. No reason to pull his schollie!
