Interesting, for several reasons.

I'll start the reasons:
1. We have 2 scholarships available and are still offering
2. We have a PG committed and are recruiting another PG
3. Etienne may be a better PG option than the other guy that committed
4. 3G may not think any of our existing freshmen are PG material, thus the need for 2 PGs
This is just a start, and just guessing on #3 and #4 -
Definitely nothing wrong with having more than one PG, or guy capable of playing the position, on the floor at any given time.

All it means is more players transferring out due lack of playing time ... competition will get tougher and good for everyone in the program.Comment

Article on kansas.com has this kid saying all the right things. Seems really excited about the " chip on the shoulder" attitude that the Shocks are known for.Comment

Look, I've stated here before that I am really curious why we don't get more interest from the higher rated talent out there and am stoked that it's finally happening. But I'm also curious how this affects the youngsters who have already committed for 2019. Surely 3G has had the conversation with them, "Hey, no offense, but I'm still looking to add some key talent at your position, don't be alarmed by my recruiting activities. I still have room for you." Or something to that nature. There was some chatter that Gregg was interested in Tre Mitchell, who BTW, is on an official visit with UCONN this weekend IIRC, as well. If he can secure commitments from two 4* players in addition to the two 3* players who have already committed, do those two look elsewhere? I like what I've read about and seen with Noah and DeAntoni and am thrilled to have them on the roster. But damn, Tyson and Tre would be a great get!!!Comment

If this were twenty years ago, I don't think we would see this going on. The truth of the matter is there is a lot of transferring going on and as a top program you have to recruit to that possibility. It seems to me that Coach is trying to aim high with another recruit or two and see what happens.Comment

I hated seeing D. Jones leave the program so quickly because I bought into his recruiting pedigree. It doesn't seem to have paid off in a readily apparent fashion.
T. Waterman, on the other hand, appears to be paying dividends before the season has even tipped off. I'm glad he's a long-time GGG protege.Comment

No, you aren't. He's already been here; the Eagle article about his visit showed him in Shocker colors, although if you live in Arizona you'd have had to see it online or in this forum. Not taking an official visit SOMEWHERE ELSE could be good news in that it prevents him from getting swayed (away from WSU, that is) by someone else's pitch.

The Shockers were his 2nd official vist. He previously took an official visit to Oklahoma.
Taylor reported that:Whether or not the fact he isn't taking an official visit this weekned is good news or not remains to be seen.He could take a third official visit this coming weekend, although he has not scheduled one yet. He has taken unofficial visits to VCU and Seton Hall.
