I do like the humor everyone has posted to this topic, however, I did have a couple of reasons for posting this topic that are perhaps pertinent to Shocker basketball.
Have no idea whether Orris or Chatman will ever be worth two hoots, however, there has been some points brought up in other threads regarding WSU "winning" recruiting battles and the importance of a quality PG to a program, especially, signing quality freshman PGs.
CU is in the same position that we are in having our starting PG being a senior. However, while we have DWill in the wings and Cotton coming in, both may be more combo type guards with a 2 maybe being a stronger position. The Jays have now lined up 3 players to their roster that are primarily PGs first --- Manigat is the heir apparent to Young with Chatman behind him and, now, Orris another year back.
How much WSU actually wanted Chatman, we can only speculate, but CU got him, WSU did not. With Orris, you have a PG that had an offer from Illinois and was being considered by Butler and Minnesota. While I'm very pleased with the players we have coming in, at least on paper at the PG position, CU appears to really be getting the job done.

Greg McDermott is getting it done at Creighton (at least on paper). I suspect CU to have another Dana Altman like run soon, and that is good for the Valley, and hopefully good for WSU. I expect that WSU and CU to battle it out for Valley titles for as long as Gregg and Greg stay in place, and I hope to see Bradley make strides with their new coach.
With us, CU, and BU being strong schools year after year, there is no reason that the Valley can't become a traditional basketball powerhouse similar to C-USA in the 90's. Let's hope!Livin the dream

How funny would it be if he now chose WSU LOL. CU fans would go nuts.
I have no idea if there is still any interest from either side, but it would still be kinda funny."He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!

From the link above:
"I didn't expect the process to go this quickly, but it just hit me when I was on my visit that this was the place," said Orris. "I just felt it. You can't really explain the feeling I had while I was on my visit."
