"Postseason Projection: 2 - 3 seed

Outlook: It seems like every year during the first week of March, Gregg Marshall seems to find himself at the epicenter of a heated bracketology debate: "If the Shockers don't win the MVC tournament, are they worthy of an at-large bid?". On one side of the aisle, the selection committee purists cite how Wichita lacks the signature resume wins of other major conference bubble teams, while the hoop statisticians stubbornly point to their impressive advanced numbers (full disclosure: I side with the nerds). Regardless of where you stand, the prevailing sentiment shared by almost all reasonably intelligent basketball minds can be summed up quite succinctly: Wichita State is good; really good...."

I think C.J. Keyser is going to turn some heads this year. He is running under the radar right now but when he gets some opportunities, he is going to shine bright. (secret weapon)

If he has any point guard skills, he will come in very handy

If kissing the rim is a point guard skill...

I might be reaching, but you never know

I see CJ's incredible athleticism, but what are you guys seeing that hasn't been shown in games?

He always came in at garbage time, and also looked a bit lost from what I can tell.

I know he was a freshman, and that's to be expected. Any scuttlebutt from the coaches or anybody in the know about CJ?

I'm friends with him on snapchat and I can tell u this, CJ is always at Koch arena! Every time I see his stories he's always there. I asked him if he's going to poster aka dunk on somebody and he replied just wait on it! I can see him getting a sc top 10 or two this coming season! #tekelecotton2.0

We need to remember that C.J was hurt through 2016 summer practices and then a good part of fall practices. He was WAY behind everybody else last year. The fact that he didn't synch up seamlessly with the regulars should not be a surprise, nor a cause for any alarm.

I could care less if CJ poster dunks on someone this year, I want him to take some playing time from some of our vets. Play clampdown defense and show consistent outside shooting. We need this way more than we need a couple highlight dunks.

I think he can find time but his best opportunity to play is at guard if he has the handles for it. His skills still remind me of Cotton who could play guard very well.

Cotton is probably my favorite Shocker of all time, but he didn't play guard very well.

Yes and no. Relative to the country, I think Cotton may have 'played guard' pretty well. But when it was happening because RB or FVV was on the bench, it seemed....less good.

Even tho he singlehandedly, many times, grabbed victory from the Jaws of defeat?
