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

[Aargh]

Nobody returning at his position - Check
Gets two games against the #1 big man in the nation - Check
School successfully integrates foreign players - Check

This accelerated from 0 to 60 in one mighty big hurry.

Getting him on campus one day after the scholarship opened up and then making his final 4 is an incredibly good sign. There has to be some mutual interest or that doesn't happen.

On top of that .. only 1 of the schools on his list is at the level of WSU (WVU). Nevada is on a new coach and lost everythign, and wake forest is wake forest.

Anybody else believe there's going to be a positive outcome to this visit?

Hard to predict what decision a young man will make but I like the Shocks' chances with Josephat as much as anyone's at this point.

[WuDrWu]

Impossible to predict I'd say.

Still, I'm paying very close attention to this thread.

[shockrah]

Being the good Doctor that you are, another "final four" prediction seems to be in the bag on this one.
(because, you know, Josaphat Bilau has narrowed down to 4 or so possible schools)

How long will you being paying attention to this thread, do you think?

[WuDrWu]

I have an insanely busy weekend, so I doubt I'm able to pay attention to this thread much beyond tomorrow evening.

[wusphlash]

Being busy have anything to do with small white balls?

[IndianaShocker]

White balls...maybe, but I'm reading it differently. Docs expecting a climax before he goes white ballin this weekend.

[California Shocker]

Everyone repeat after me.
JB is a shocker.

Well yea ... Jamarius Burton had a great freshman year!

How about a photo of Josephat with Deantoni. I like this pose:

Who here still has the album?

[California Shocker]

Bookends.

Though the loss of Teddy will hurt us next season (Don't kid yourself. He would of been our leading scorer and unless someone majorly improves, our only real solid "go get a bucket" option), replacing him with a 6'10" athletic pf with range could translate to this team having a higher ceiling in the near future. I hope we get this guy.

[Windiwu]

I think Stevenson will work his way up to that 'go get a bucket' type player before this next conference season. He has the confidence and fearlessness already. Just needs more experience I think.

[forevershockerfan]

yes please x 7

[another shocker]

antoine carr and cliff levingston at the two forward spots. xavier mcdaniel was a freshman. that was some acc-level stuff right there.

No doubt it was a huge loss! But, what other issues off the court / on the court / in the locker room would he have created and would it have been worth it? We will never know.

Didn't we have Aubrey Sherrod and Greg Dreiling at the same time? To only be put on probation soon after.
