    Is anyone finally using Wessel's scholarship this year? Or did he take it with him like the selfish undeserving guy we came to know?

          Not that we are not always proud of our School, our Coach, and our Players, but it is really special to see Fred, Ron, and now John, get the respect they earned and deserved.

              I think we may have our scholarship Senior leader identified. J.R. spent 3 years with Baker and VanVleet and he knows what those guys brought to practices and what they demanded of others in practices. I think the other players will listen if (when) he tells them what they need to do. It's easier for him to do that when he's a scholarhsip player.

              I think J.R. will see some minutes during significant parts of games and probably some in crunch time. He knows how to run the offense. His passes are accurate and don't have a lot of arc. He can hit some buckets. He may have enough BBIQ to cover quicker guards when he's on D.
              The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
              We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                Probably Doc. That would explain how he knows everything.

                  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is his grandfather.

                    His grandparents are the Kouri's. Fairly substantial WSU boosters. The Champions Club in CKA bears their name.

                      That is correct but the gentleman in question was not Dr. Sam Kouri, his grandfather and namesake of The Champions Club.

                      Dr. Sam and Jacque Kouri:

                        Nah, that guy was too young to be Doc.

                          So do we think this scholarship presentation will lead to more minutes? Is this a nod to JR showing that he's gotten better and has earned more than mop up minutes? I hope so, because I think he's actually pretty smart with the ball. And like others have said, learning under FVV and Ron have probably done wonders.

                              Not sure about minutes, but it could make a huge difference in JR being a leader on the team.

                                Thanks, I love this video. The guys in the locker room have great love for each other.
