Josaphat Bilau 6'10 PF/C 2019 a Shocker!

Maybe AM and a couple of the Euros on the women's team can expound on how comfortable they are with the WSU experience.

I think he was hoping for an offer from a blue blood. When that didn’t come through, several P6 schools were looking for that last ship. Possible that they weren’t good fits.

.

Wichita State is the only P6 school that matters in this equation.

Yipes Stripes Beechnut Gum!

I know it's a highlight video, but he looks like a 5-star recruit to me.

Love how the staff never lets up and reacts right away when something like this happens.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Well, KR won't have to work on his vertical, that's for sure. I wonder how this dude was overlooked for so long.

Edit: Answered my own question. Only played ball for 4 years. Crazy.

Travaille pour moi. (Works for me).

Josephat's home town is about 80 miles southeast of Carla Bremaud's home town in Eastern France. Seraphine Bastin is from Dinant, Belgium in the southern french speaking part of Belgium about 20 miles in from the French border. Carla and Seraphine were the top two freshman for the Lady Shocks last year. So, yeah, they might be able to offer Josephat some helpful perspective (either in English or in French).

Leave it to you to look this up. That is why you are a legend on this board.

Can you find out their dating status too?

Baguette.

Not often you see a 6'10" prospect dribbling coast to coast.

[Windiwu]

I remember when Pascal and New Mexico State visited Koch. Spicy P was already a player who would catch the eye quickly as having a high upside but I think this dude is ahead of Pascal in development. I don't think Pascal shot many threes back then although he already ran like the proverbial deer.

Spotted by a source of mine at Georges Bistro for lunch today.

Wonder if they’ve hit Doo-Dah and Chester’s yet?

[FlyingWheat]

FWIW, Taylor confirmed your source in a tweet.

[WSUwatcher]

Georges is very nice (although I don't remember having a great deal of leg room last time I was there, and I'm almost a foot shorter than Bilau is). Still, rolling out some Euro sophistication for him is a deft touch.

[1972Shocker]

I have to try Georges one of these day. Heard a lot of good things about it. My guess is Georges (and any other restaurant they visit) rolls out the carpet for 3G and his guests and no doubt made sure that Josephat was quite comfortable.

I guess I hadn't made “The French Connection" (damn, I'm good) until now.

That's quite a change from just a few days ago when he had left us out of the mix. Of course, that was before the breaking news of an available scholarship.
