The one report I received on a game of his was he "did OK."

Looks like a new offer for Gavin from Western Kentucky:

Someone told me he has verbaled to WSU...anyone heard that?

[tropicalshox]

Not here.

I heard that rumor as well, but have nothing to substantiate it. It could be just wishful thinking, or carry some weight.

So you're saying it could be true, yet it could be false? :D

Well, Gavin was hard pressed to verbal to WSU a few weeks ago while on a visit. He wanted to wait until after the July evaluation to see who else became interested. He has had a mediocre July and has attracted no new BCS offers and it is possible that some have even backed off. That type of thing can really make a kid realize what he has waiting for him in WSU, so I could definately see that happening.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be hard to start a rumor like that.

Hopefully he ends up at WSU in 2012, whether he has veraballed already or is still deciding.

Given Trop and wufan's posts, anyone concerned about his July performance among his peers compared to others at his position that we may have a decent shot at getting (or not, if he has given a verbal)?

I think Gavin would be a good get, particularly being a local product, so don't take what I'm about to say wrong. Was his performance (or actual talent) an indicator that he is concidered by others as an "at our level" player?

Checking with a correspondent, he also heard it. The rumor is strong, but still just a rumor.

Well, I know as much about his AAU performance as I do about his college selection...just rumors. I think Gavin played "Okay" this July and did not show huge strides in his game that some expected based on his talent. If you look at who he's playing with, however; Heild, Ellis, and a pretty good PG, he just happened to be the "loser" stat-wise/attention-wise.

IMO, he's a talented Wichita kid that can provide help at a position of need. There is NO WAY we change our mind based on his July performance. If he wants to be a Shocker, he's a Shocker.

Bring us some good news!!!
