Joe Ragland commits to WSU

[Snapshot9]

Joe has all the credentials to be a great player for the Shocks. After reading the Utah article, and them crying about not getting Joe, and losing him to all people, the Wichita State Shockers, I couldn't help but smile.

With Joe's accomplishments, I would consider him a 4 star recruit.

I am tired of always having to wait till next season before great things can be on the horizon, I am not getting any younger, and I want us to get back to the Big Dance, and make some noise.

Has anyone seen Joe play? I haven't. Any links to full games? I'll comment after I watch a few. Even then I'll probably be wrong, because my ability to evaluate JuCo talent and project it on the DI level is pretty limited. I guess I could look at his stats and make some predictions about how he'll fit in.

I could also spill blood in a plate and throw chicken bones on top and divine his impact that way.

Or, I could stare into my navel until such time as the Lint Gods gave me a vision.

Or, I could smoke a bowl of Salvia and get shamanistic inspiration.

I am comfortable with this prediction: "Joe Ragland will be the best player to ever don the black and gold, the worst player to don the black and gold, or somewhere inbetween."

Or you could go with Coach Marshall's and staff's judgment.

That is the direction, in which I am headed.

You're taking all the fun out of this BOBB. Somewhere earlier in this thread was a link to all the games at the NJCAA National Tourny. Please watch those games and replace thoughts of blood, chicken bones, navel lint & other dark things to thoughts of driving, dishing & swishing. I liked your prediction, but I hate for Joe to be in the same discussion as Rick Conn, Roosevelt Overstreet, Wendell Preadom or Gal Mekel. Go Joe & :goshocks:

What's wrong with Gal "10 second foul" Mekel?

Royal ... Clicked on your link, and then clicked on North Platte game(s) below on the page, and Title page comes up, but no game starts playing, and it was playing for over 2 minutes with nothing but the Title page.

Have you all seen this Youtube video about Joe giving us an oral commitment.

I'm watching the North Platte game now against Eastern Utah. I like Joaquin(sp?) for Eastern Utah. Ragland is racking up the fouls.
