  • As many doubters as there are (in the interest of full disclosure, I was one) I've been convinced. Just from everything the coaches and other players have said, along with people that have seen scrimmages, I can't wait to see him on the floor.

      Sorry, this had to be bumped. And if it's being rebumped, well then that has to be done too for the benefit of @WSUkoolaid:.

        Typically, you were about half right.

        • “I’m trying to make that one of the better parts of my game,” he said, disagreeing somewhat in regard to any tendency to hide on that end of the floor in high school.
          “I still tried to be aggressive on defense because I knew we still had to get stops to win anyway,” Frankamp clarified. “It wasn’t like I didn’t focus on defense in high school, but I had to focus a lot on scoring, too.”

          This is the part that I liked the best. It sounds to me like he is a little miffed by the no-defense chatter. I look for him to be surprisingly good once he gets to hit the floor as a Shocker. By now, I'm sure he has been made aware that good D = playing time.
          One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

          • I feel strongly that Conner wants to be really good and a complete player. Therefore, I'm confident that he will be a really good Shocker basketball player.

              Totally agree. Again, one of those things that I believe 3G does to motivate his players. I think Marshall is a master at knowing what makes a young man tick and how to push them without pushing them out.

                Haha, I forgot about that dweeb. He seems to only show up in tumultuous times. He's been absent for a while. Too much good to be talking about with WSU and that's not his style.

                    Wait until he misses his first shot in the 3-point compitition.

                      We can complain about the lack of defense in the contest.

                      • Has any Shocker ever had more pressure on him than Conner to perform well in a Shocker Madness shooting contest/exhibition? I really hope Conner has a great performance.

                          This is what you should probably expect:





                          He won an Under Armor event as well, but I didn't find any highlights.

                            Anyone who doesn't see him getting solid amounts of minutes has a screw loose.

                              I suspect any pressure will be self imposed. Outside of a few vocal detractors on SN I believe 99%+ of the faithful in CKA will recognize him as a Shocker and support him thusly. That said, I am sure he wants to make an immediate and positive impression.

                                Agreed, but you have a kid who knows his first impression after becoming a Shocker (an underage DUI) was not a great one and I think he will no doubt have some self-imposed pressure to do well. That can cut either way. Causing him to be super-focused and sharp or causing him to be a little tight and maybe off a little. Either way I'm rooting for the kid.
