Tyrone Taylor Welcome to Shocker Nation!

[Shock Top]

With one very big difference. We had Cle for 2 years and Malcolm for only 1 year. Tyrone and Markis we will have for perhaps 4 years each.

That's why it's version 2.0 ;)

Hopefully, at the end of there careers will be looking at it as Tyrone and Markis 1.0 but I could live with Malcolm and Cle 2.0

Can't they be both? Tyrone & Markis 1.0 = Malcolm & Cle 2.0

My original comment was more for fun comparing them; lefty PG and athletic, wiry wing. I think most people will get that.

Shurtz, you could have said your favorite ice cream is chocolate and someone would have stepped up to debate you. It's just how this board operates.

I understand your point and it is valid. I'm just getting greedy and hope they prove to be a better set of players. Obviously a very high bar.

But my favorite isn't chocolate...

Yes it is. What do you know about your ice cream preference?

Now you have me second guessing myself.

Reading some of the reports makes it sound like Tyrone and Markis really hit it off on the official visit. Just think about all the variables that go into recruiting. Two players that didn't hit off on the same visit make the chances for landing one of them pretty slim. Can't wait until November 12.

Good point about the pairing, Pantone. Just one more reason why our guys get the big bucks, although I'm sure they aren't the first to think of that. But it really does highlight the variables. I'm just glad the airport / weather variables didn't work to WSU's disadvantage.

When we consider the two top 100 players that are coming, knowing that Taylor is a really solid player who in my mind is also a top 100 player, it makes me think this recruiting class may be
our favorite since Marshall landed here at 21st and Hillside. All 3 players are already solid on both sides of the floor and want to work hard and improve as so many players here do. Hamilton is
a talent and I truly hope he really dedicates himself at Sunrise to develop his game.

I keep thinking of the talented San Diego State team that marched right into KU and defeated them last Season. Yes, they peaked too early and did not land Early. However, our Shockers always have a chance to win big games because of our great team defense and solid rebounding. Recruits now know they can come here, have a chance
to play in big games at the Dance, and improve their game on both sides of the floor. Not only have we landed some nice Juco players for immediate help, we are getting some very impressive
high school players like FVV, Baker, and Cotton that are all better than advertised when they arrived and only keep improving in our System that is a proven success.

This class is very good! Shamet and Taylor are long and skilled guards, with Taylor being fast and Shamet being smooth!

Hamilton and McDuffie are long athletic forwards with perimeter skills. Hamilton is explosive and McDuffie can drive the hoop. All four of these young men are excellent students and human beings that WANT to be coached. Exciting times ahead!

Hamilton is taking a prep school year to learn to be a stretch 4. If he figures that out, it seems that the Shox will be putting 5 guys on the floor who can hit from 3 or drive to the hoop.

I don't know that I've ever seen a team that could put 5 guys on the court who were credible at their positions and could all hit from 3. Throw in Marshall's screening game and the driving ability the recruits seem to have, and the Shox become very difficult to defend.

Hamilton already shoots the three but is hoping to learn some handles, perimeter defense, and learn the game in general. At his size, he will be able to play under the basket already, but being able to play on the perimeter will make him elite.

EH was originally described as CLE five year ago by HCGM. With Mr McDuffie joining the team we could end up with two CLEs. Cle at the 3 and Cle at the 4... Oh the humanity.... :-)

100% agree! Exciting big wing prospects on the horizon. Taylor might be that fastest end to end freshman in the country to boot.
