Derail Green Welcome to Shocker Nation!

[T.VuOP]

It's time to discuss some about our recruits. Hopefully Green would have a good time here.

I'm ready to give our recruiting class the love it deserves.

"...the Shockers will have the longest running streak of non Texas D1 schools with a Houston kid on roster. Since the program basically stole Randy Burns (Washington HS 2002) right from under the noses of everyone, Wichita State has a current streak of 10 consecutive seasons boasting Greater Houston talent. Other Houstonians who have kept the candle burning are, PJ Cousinard (Yates 2003), Karon Bradley (Cy Springs via Marquette transfer). Wendell Preadom (Westbury Chr 2005), Currently, senior guard Toure Murry (Klein Forest 2008) is big man on campus. If all goes well, Green could push that streak to 14 years."

Nice story. Hopefully we will see a nice big story on this big committ in the Eagle very soon.

If not, I am cancelling my subscription.

Mr. Green's decision to attend WSU further solidifies idea that Coach Marshall likes kids that can create mismatch problems for the opponents.

This class likely won't be as good out of the gate as Marshall's first (full) class was, but then they don't have to be either.

That being said, the upside is enormous.

I can't help but think that VanVleet and Early are going to be special, special players here.

[WuDrWu]

I am reserving judgment on VanVleet until I see how his atheticism fits at a major D1 program. Not that I think for one nanosecond that he won't be good, he certainly will, but I won't saddle him with a superstar label just yet.


Early on the other hand.......look out. If he was here today, he'd start tonight.

Welcome Mr Green

Welcome aboard Derail.

I'm with Royal on this one after finally viewing the highlight videos. Very intriguing get.

Good ball handling skills, good passer, unselfish, nice stroke. One of those smooth, gliding types of players.

At this point looks like he might be more comfortable on the perimeter.

I like this get.

Welcome Derail Green!

[Snapshot9]

Is he first name pronounced like:

De - Rail
or
Darrell

[pinstripers]

or duh RAIL?

[forevershockerfan]

Don't Mess with Texas, because Texas players have been very solid Shockers.

[SpanglerFan316]

I think we have a great recruiting class. The future looks bright as long as HCGM is here. Let's give him the outstanding fan support that tells him he is appreciated and helps him bring in great recruiting classes for many years.

In addition to his visits to WSU and Detroit, it appears Derail also visited Tulane.

I can't wait until the season starts!
