[Boss1786]

Or they team up under the mantra "We run this Sh*t!"

[Shock Top]

So.....this recruiting class....started off the Sensational Six......what is it now?

The Nuclear Nine

For two reasons:

- The whole roster has blown up and rebuilt; Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
- THEY ARE ABOUT TO GO NUCLEAR IN THE MOTHAFUKA AND SHOCK THE WORLD!!!!

[FlyingWheat]

For all the crap the assistants get for lack of help in-game, they sure seem to be coming through on this front.

Looks good on the pick and roll. Hope he can defend AAC PG's

[choida]

If he is the same as Houston man bun then we'll be fine

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

SHJ is still TBD on that.

Hopefully we get him a strong Prozac/Zoloft cocktail and find him a world class shrink.

I only kid because I care. Dude has serious potential and tons of skill. Anxiety can be a real b**** and I'd love to see him conquer it and go out with a bang his senior year at his dream school. It would be a great story.

Torres and SHJ-with-his-mind-right would be a great back court combo who could slice and dice a defense.

[1972Shocker]

No doubt a strong Prozac/Zoloft cocktail before every game will really give Samajae aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooossssssssstttttttttt.

[Ricardo del Rio]

tell me about the quickness. Or saying it another way, can we guard the 3 and dribble penetration?

[pinstripers]

Torres....................................this is good.

[ShockingButTrue]

Looks good on the pick and roll. Hope he can defend AAC PG's

Now, if can show something on an iso. he/we'll be good to go.

I see SHJ off the bench honestly next year...

I see SHJ off the bench honestly next year...

SHJ has a year on him in the system and an impressive skill set. Like all athletes, there are some areas to be worked on but initially I think he has the upper hand on the starting PG . As we learned from last season, when we were loaded at each position, the bench always gets shorter as the season progresses. I believe it's SHJ job at the beginning of the season, but it's also his to keep or protect as that bench gets shorter. I can also easily see a platoon system for PG minutes early in the season until everything sorts itself out.

I'm almost having trouble keeping track of all of these new recruits. This is awesome news! We have Austin's replacement (Burton) and now we have a starting PG. I am no longer worried about next season. It might be a wild ride, but it will no doubt be fun. Now let's go get AN and call it a class.

[choida]

Austin's replacement? Stevenson, Moore, Dennis, Burton, maybe anyone of these dudes

[1972Shocker]

Program sales may set a school record next year.

WSU head coach Gregg Marshall said:

"We feel Ricky has the poise, leadership ability and talent to step in from day-one as a lead guard. He scores at all three levels and has a tremendous feel for the game. He plays at his own pace and averaged eight assists per game last year for Coach Chris Popp because of his tremendous vision!"

[ShockerPhi]

I'm so excited to see our guards drive the lane again. I miss that.
