Conner Frankamp is a Shocker

[Shocker-maniac]

IMO, this is good news. Welcome aboard Connor!!!!

[tropicalshox]

Not surprised but still very happy with the news. Congratulations Conner!

So, what was his penance to cleanse his sins before entering the Shocker Nation?

He (or his parents) are going to be paying his own way for at least 1 semester and perhaps 3 or more depending in how things work out. He gave up a fall-semester of play and will have to sit out an academic year. He will have to work his ass off, prove he can play at the level needed and demanded, and prove he believes the team comes first to gain playing time for Wichita State. He deserves no more or no less.

Ohhhh, you better watch out!
You better not cry!
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why ...
Conner Frankamp's coming ... to town!

Anyone have any idea on how his grades where at KU? ...

Heck, if he's willing to do all that, I like him already!

He was eligible to play all of last year and this fall. I am unaware of any reason to be concerned about his grades and you can bet 3G would know whether there were any issues. Now whether he is Valedictorian material or not is not known.

Be really interesting to watch this progress. If anyone can develop guards and teach defense, it's coach Marshall. I think that he'll fit in just fine.

Yes Marty has really gotten a shitty rep that is unfounded. He cares about his kid and wants him to succeed. Period.

Take basketball out of the equation. Would you enjoy seeing your kid miserable doing something he has loved and dreamed about all his life? It's not about starting or even playing 30 min a game-it's about systems and rotations and consistency.

I've stayed tight lipped through this whole ordeal other than PMing Doc but most of the garbage about the overbearing father came straight from Phog.net out of disbelief anyone would just leave their program without baggage

Nice....nice...and NICE!!!! Wichita kid leaves Kansas University to come home!!!!

Looks like Gregg really scored a great deal on Cyber Monday.

........an even better and cheaper deal if he walks on next year.

There's a great post on Bluejay Underground that I copied and paste here:


For Christmas, I'm going to get Coach Mac and friends a copy of Glengarry Glen Ross. Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers.

Have I got your attention now? Good. "Cause we're adding a little something to this month's recruiting contest. As you all know first prize is Connor Frankamp. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture?

Always

You want to know what it takes to sell recruits? It takes BRASS B***S to sell recruits. Go and do likewise coaches. Recruit's are out there. You pick them up, they're yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. They're yours. If not you're gonna be shining Gregg Marshall's shoes. And you know what you'll be saying - a bunch of losers sittin' around in a bar. 'Oh yeah. I used to be a coach. It's a tough racket.'
