Haven't seen anything saying otherwise.

Here's the deal. The Shocks are sitting in a rosey spot during this signing period. We can be picky and sign solid players such as a Guy Landry. HCGM does not just have to get bodies in here as when he first arrived and the cupboard was somewhat skimpy. On the other hand, signing around 2 really good players would be prudent because we take a 2 year hit in a row on 5 solid Seniors graduating. This will leave a mark, even if we reload.

If we do sign Guy L., the depth chart at the 2 and 3 spot might be the best ever in Shocker history. Toure', Ben, and DK are most likely to improve. I could even see DK having a banner Shocker finish as well as Toure' making the 1st Team All Valley. With that said, Guy appears to be a player that could not only help us alot this coming Season, but also be very very solid his Senior Season. I hope his visit goes well here and that he signs black and yellow.

I realize that sometimes you simply take "the best available" at times, but this one still stumps me a little. You will have 3 seniors at the 2/3 next year with Smith , Murry, and Kyles. That's 26-27 minutes per player. Add Landry and everyone's is down to 20 mpg or some a little more and some a little less.

Plus, DWill can and does play the 2 some. Does Richardson sit another year? Wessel red-shirt? Wouldn't they both benefit from a little PT next year in prep for when the seniors are gone the next year?

I think it works out ok if Landry is a Shocker. He will lessen the blow some the following year when we lose Smith, Murry, Ragland & Kyles. It allows redshirts for some of the freshmen this year that will need the year to develop without blowing elidgibility. Perhaps Murry will be the primary backup to Smith at the 3 this year. Kyles will back up Murry at the 2, but if he is as streaky as he was this year it wouldn't hurt to have another option such as landry. I think DWill will be the primary backup for Ragland next year, at least I believe that is still what coach hopes for. Murry is getting better and better at playing point, but it definately isn't his strongest position night in and night out.

Basically, it gives coach A LOT of options to throw at opposing teams. Since our frontcourt won't be as deep this year, it doesn't hurt to have as many good guards/wings that you can to try and make up for the thin frontcourt.

Also, we still don't know if all current players will be back next year. I am sure there is a reason we are still after Landry pretty hard.

It all depends on the egos of the players. This past year everyone accepted that depth was our strength...could they do that again? I think so.

Regardless coach will work it all out in the end.

Guy hung out with the team today.

Spent time together at coaches house for a while. ate there.

Went to the Wichita Wild game. Didn't stay too long, i guess he wasn't too entertained by it. No big deal.

Connected well with the players. Seemed like a really genuine nice guy. Heard he was really drawn to Ben. Would sit near him often and strike up conversation. I guess nice guys are drawn to nice guys.

Thick accent.

This is all that I heard.
I imagine we have a pretty good chance to get him.

^^ thanks for the update. I was curious about how his visit went.

[shockerfan]

Per his twitter, sounds like he had a good time. Nothing revealing, of course. But glad he had fun:

Pretty cool day.. Nice outside

- Looks like he enjoyed the good weather yesterday. Compared to Friday it was definately nice LOL

Downtown Wichita,KS poppin

Wichita, KS was fun.. Or it's still fun

Here is what Brad Winton (he runs JucoRecruiting.com) says he thinks Landry's top 4 would be:

JucoRecruiting Brad Winton
@ @CerasolisGhost Tough to tell with him (Guy Landry), but I would say top four - Tennessee, Michigan State, Wich St., and UTEP

Pretty much the same that has already been reported. We'll see what happens!

anybody know when Guy is suppose to make his decision?

I believe he still has 3 more visits lined up and one of those is in early May.

So, we still have a James Eugene Carrey chance?

Guy indicated on Twitter yesterday (in one side of an apparent conversation about his recruitment) that he will probably make a decision next week -- which would be just after he visits Tennessee.

(full text: "man idk yet I'll should make my decision by next week.")

That may indicate that UTEP, a planned May visit, is off the board.

He also called the recruiting process "crazy" "worse than when I was in high school" and said "But I'm close to being done with it."

Thinking of the pros and cons of Tennessee as it seems to me it is between us and them....Tenn is a big name program with a new coach...Would he play right away there? Is it close to home?

Tennessee is a little closer to France.

Tennessee fan has an opinion about Guy ...

'WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE WINGS!"
