ITT - We post memories from our 5 seniors.
Tom "Bush" Wamukota -- I'll never forget his shut down game against Tuttle last year. He also had great minutes against KU.
Anton Grady -- Of course I was just happy to hear that he recovered after going down in Orlando. He has been big in picking the Shox up after the two Valley losses this year.
Evan Wessel -- I've loved this guy since day one. In the perfect year it was just cracking me up that for whatever reason, he couldn't buy a basket. It made no sense! But he just kept playing. I've talked about the family tree of toughness and in a great history of tough SOBs under Marshall, Evan is in the top spot. I'll never ever EVER forget how he just made his old high-school teammate his *****.
Ron Baker -- Again going back to the perfect year, we are well on our way to winning in St L for the first time ever and getting to 34-0. Indiana State pulls Jake Odum and Ron is calling for the crowd to give him applause. This is how Ron has been since day 1. It cracks me up that some forums say he is a dirty player. Hell, he even gives love to student sections that have spent 4 years making fun of him. Damn I'm going to miss that shot.
Fred VanVleet -- Do you remember when people couldn't pronounce his name? I remember the first time I heard of him was on here when other schools were going heavy on him. Someone said he was looking at other schools after signing. I was sad not because I knew anything about Fred but because it is just so typical in College basketball these days. So when he stayed and it was later revealed that he wasn't going to break his commitment it really made me feel good. Of course that shot against THE Ohio State also made me feel good. But my memory of Fred ... well look at my avatar. I doubt that ever gets changed. I can see that moment in my head like the moment it happened.
So now you do it. Let's get ready to cheer these guys on to a 51-3 Valley record over the last 3 years.
