Wessel Commits!

I also believe his dad is a season ticket holder as I've seen Connor at a number of games.

I heard that Freshman at North is the real deal...a pure shooter that can flat out light it up.

Being a fan of the Redskins...I hope our coaching staff is looking into this kid.

watched this kid play in middle school last season...he dominated the game...scored 42

Awesome get.

I don't follow the recruiting forum too closely, but does anybody know who else was after him?

He said in an interview with one of the local stations that WSU was basically his only choice since his dad played football here and his granddad played basketball here.

KSU was after him and I heard Stanford was showing some interest. I'd have to go check out his thread for others.

I knew there was no real hope of WSU recruiting any one from Circle, but still, I feel like we don't get mentioned enough by Wichita news outlets, so anytime I get the chance to mention them I will. Plus, CHS hasn't had a boy's basketball player go D-1 ever, so it was a good effort.

And you are correct. Jordan Phillips, by far our best player, is signed to K-State.

What class are you in? I'm assuming you know my boy AndShock over there.

I despize Andover...they've completely smoked our chances at going to state in football one too many times. So, I don't really know anyone from that town.

We did do that a few times...

Not sure Connor is a D1 athlete but he moved to North to find out.

His dad was a VERY nice basketball player, but not a D1 athlete (he is an assistant coach for North). Probably won't know for a couple years if Connor is going to have the hops to compete at the D1 level....

But man can he shoot. He has a hair trigger and needs just the smallest of spaces to get his shot up.

He's the best shooter in the City League and it's not even close.

Thanks for the info guys.

Sorry, back on topic.......


Evan, thank you.


You know how much this staff wanted you, and you rewarded their effort. You probably don't realize it today, and won't for many, many years to come, but there is a special status position for those local kids that choose to stay at home.

I won't put any undue expectations on this young man....Lord knows I've saddled Ehimen with enough to last the next couple of decades.

But I am thrilled to get this kid.


It is indeed a GREAT DAY to be a Shocker!!!!!!!!

From what I have been told, this kid has an excellent work ethic and good skills. Sounds like a good verbal.

Yeah he sits about four row in front of my seats. He's comes to about every game.

I knew Evan's Grandpa played basketball at WSU, but I didn't know his dad played football for the Shox!

I've yet to see him play. Perhaps tonight against my alma mater. I am curious about what a good comparison would be. Seeing him on the gridiron made me think SIU's Brian Mullins. Not sure if that is at all a fair comparison but I would take a Mullins-type PG 7 days a week and thrice on Sunday.

[SubGod22]

I've only seen him play at the WSU Elite Camp this past summer and he'd just come from an MAYB tournament. From what I've gathered from others, he's more athletic than Mullins ever was. Not sure if he's as heady and tough.

If nothing else, Evan will be a solid contributor to some very good teams here.
