Any news on Wamukota?

[1979Shocker]

In the five games in the game log his minutes are only included in two of them. So it's spreading those 46 combined minutes over five games. I'm guessing he's averaging 20-25 minutes.

His box score minutes were 15:00, 26, 21:20, 13:58, and 20, which adds up to around 96 (19.2 per game), but I'm not sure about the last game. They have each starter with 20 minutes.

"The sky is not the limit for me," said Wamukota with a smile. "I go way past the sky. The only thing you can do is get better everyday. I'm ready to work hard so when that time comes on the big stage I'll be ready."

I know this was already posted on his recruiting page, but since it is "news" I figured I would keep the thread alive!

KSN's new reporter, Emily Gangion was in the last few seconds of this clip. She looked lost then, too.

Word on the street is he was looking pretty nimble at the Heskett Center the other day...

What else are the kids saying these days?! :)

I love hearing a kid like that talk about the fans and how he's looking forward to playing in front of a big crowd he's never seen before.

We all have our own input on these guys, this team and this program. Don't ever forget that.

I know we bring this up every year, and it's always a battle, but something tells me the students are going to bring it this season, more than ever before. I hope they do, they were outstanding at the end of last year. It's up to the rest of us to do our part, even those of you with me in the corporate seats. These are not times to be taken for granted....these are times to be appreciated and cherished. Savor the moment, enjoy the ride, and be a part of the game. Have fun and cheer on these young men like they've never even dreamed of before and make our home court advantage even greater than it already is.

Go Shocks!

Bump.

Nice minutes today. Hope he can make a jump and contribute like EO did his Senior season.

The game is much more in question if he doesn't give us those 1st half minutes.

The late 2nd half push by UNI down in Cedar Falls was a killer when Shaq and Carter had 2 fouls apiece. The foul concerns happened again today but Wamukota entered the game and this is what I did not see. I did not see Tuttle score. Why? During this stretch with Bush guarding Tuttle, I did not see Mr. Tuttle get a solitary shot off but I did see Wam score 4 epic points at an opportune game stretch that killed us last time.. This was a big book-mark segment in the game to remember as a key job by a Shocker sub playing angry and executing on both sides of the court.

BWam is so long and had fantastic defensive positioning on Tuttle. He was denying the ball, unlike Carter, who let's Tuttle catch it and thenm tries to play D on him. BWam was the difference tonight and I don't think UNI had ever heard of him before.

Very happy with Bush's minutes again today in a huge game. The man does what he has to when we are running out of horses. Wamukota held it down and got us through foul trouble. KU struggled inside. This guy elevates his game like a clutch 3 point shooter. I like him.

Kind of interesting how the game goes the Shox direction when Wamukota is on the court. He's offensively challenged, but he was the guy on the court for the Shox 13-2 run to take control of the game.

He's improved greatly in a short period of time
