  • Ran into Frankamp tonight

    At the Hutch Buffalo Wild Wings of all places.. He seemed really nice and down to Earth. Can't wait for the season to start!

    Glad to get the details, bleed. Given Conner's driving adventures, I was afraid you might literally have run into him. No need for that.

      You should post this on the other Shocker fan site. For many of them it's impossible to say anything positive about Conner.
      In the fast lane

          It's pretty frustrating reading the CF insults from a couple of posters over there. It sounds like t-shirt KU fans talking about WSU.

            Don't worry, we'll shoot off our own guns.

              I really don't understand all the negativity toward Frankamp either. People seem to forget that we are talking about a person and need to put all the history that goes into his situation to the side. In 3G we trust that everything works out.
              And I doubt there will be any complications.

                I'm willing to forgive CF this one mistake if he does not make a habit of such behavior and I'm sure Marshall won't allow it or he will be gone. I'm looking forward to seeing how good he can be when he actually receives some coaching.

                  If CF is a maker and lays some "KABOOMS" down....nobody will care except the haters.

                    He is now a Shocker. Anybody not now rooting for this kid should check their priorities.

                      Over here, I'm consdiered one of the "haters". I've cited his D1 stats. I've observed that he couldn't beat out Tharpe, who was a bad PG. I've indicated that gives me some skepticism and I'm going to wait to see results before I jump on the bandwagon.

                      I've been labeled a hater and an "arsonist" for igniting flames of hate. Because I'm not already on the bandwagon, I'm a "hater".

                      I just want to see some D1 results before I start singing praises. I am aware that he's been out of comepetitive action for a year and a half before he ever sees the court again. I don't expect he's going to come off that playing his best (or even OK) game. I'll give him until the NCAA's to show something and won't go negative on him if he's not playing to expectations in his first couple of months in competitive ball.

                      I didn't jump on Zach Brown's bandwagon until I saw what he did in the NCAA's. Brown is 6'6" and played a year of PG before he came to WSU as a Fr.
                      The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

                        These statements are pretty mild.

                          I don't get the negativity on Connor. He played 1 year at KU and didn't light the world on fire. Guess what? Fred didn't light the world on fire his freshman year either. I don't think anyone is acting like he's the second coming. Give the kid a break and give him a chance to play ball. He's a City league legend and he's now playing ball at WSU. I hope he does great, but we'll be ok if he doesn't.

                            This line got me thinking.

                            Greg Drieling - Started at Wichita St. then transferred to bubble u.
                            Maurice Evans - Started at Wichita St. then transferred to Tejas.
                            Gaylon Nickerson started at Wichita St. then went All-American juco then went to K-State.
                            Conner Frankamp - Started at bubble u then transferred to Wichita St.

                            What's up with the Wichita kids going all transfer and stuff??? Lol

                              One of the biggest things I noticed while wishing him well this season was, he seemed like he wanted to extend the conversation. Can't say that about every Shocker I've randomly encountered in public except for Hannah and Cle.
