I have some good news and some bad news from an unnamed source.
The good news is the team played tonight and started around 6:00 P.M.
The bad news is I did not want to wait an hour, before I could see them play.
Further news from an unnamed source is as follows:
1. I learned the name of the mystery player, who many have wondered about. His name is Alan Jones. He will be a sophomore at Neosho County Community College.
Note to Dr. Wu. - I was wrong about his home town. He is from Celina, KS.

Player: Alan Jones

Hometown: Celina, TX

2. According to my source, WSU got a little lucky with the recruitment of Demetric Williams because he could be playing for a higher D-1 school. As you might imagine, I was surprised and pleased by this news. Let's hope it works out in that manner.
3. E.O. will not be here this summer.
4. Demetric will be here this weekend.
5. I commented to my source that if Coach Marshall wished, the Shockers, with its speed and quickness, could run a lot of teams into the floor. The source replied that is what the coaches have in mind and it is the reason the players are now playing with a 24 second clock in pick-up games.
6. This news is discouraging to me. According to the source, it is not likely the team will start any pick-up games, prior to 5:00 P.M. The time is important because the doors to the arena are locked at 5:00 P.M.
Generally, the start time will be between 5:45 P.M.and 6:15 P.M.
The purpose of the later start time is to avoid conflicts with lifting, player class and running schedules.
Disclaimer: Based upon my past experience, I know these schedules are as firm as a handful of mercury. A southern boy might say that pinning down these schedules is like nailing Jello to a tree.
