Wichita State Athletics is accepting public nominations for the 2023 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction, Associate AD for Strategic Communications Tami Cutler announced today.
Former student-athletes are not eligible for induction until nine years after their initial enrollment at Wichita State University. This year's class must have an initial enrollment of Fall, 2014, or before.
Submit nominations, along with support materials to Tami Cutler, Associate AD/Strategic Communications, Charles Koch Arena, 1845 Fairmount, Wichita, Kansas, 67260-0018 or email at tcutler@goshockers.com.
Alex Harden, the best player WBB player in school history IMO, apparently has been eligible for the previous 3 years. She enrolled in the Fall of 2011. I am actually somewhat surprised that she is yet to be inducted. I think I am going to have to submit a nomination for Alex.
