Cool name if nothing else

[WSUwatcher]

Say it three times fast!

[wufan]

Athletic stretch 4 that can run the floor!

[pinstripers]

Seems pretty obvious that we are going to add a guard and a big.

[shoxlax]

I think we only add a guard if there is one available that will make us better right away—lots of 20’ prospects and Tyson is working around the clock on some of them. However a 3/4 that can extend the defense and rebound is a probability.

I’m on the fence as to whether DeAntoni will/should redshirt.

Did I mention Tyson is a phenomenal recruiter? He is the lead for Kuany.

[Kel Varnsen]

Yes, please.

That link shows our returning PF's as

Jr: Eric Hamilton, Brett Barney

and our recruits as:

So: Dimon Carrigan (JuCo)
Fr: Demontay Dixon

Doesn't appear to be much research or accuracy there. Maybe that's why they rate him as a 2*, but he's got 7 offers from schools in the top 7 conferences, including B12, Pac10, SEC, ACC, AAC, BEast

[The Mad Hatter]

Both Hamilton and Barney are listed in gray which indicates a transfer (and if you mouse over the name it mentions that they transferred).

Carrigan and Dixon are in the JUCO recruit list. It also lists (in addition to Gordon as a signee) Tre Mitchell, Kenyon Martin Jr., and Josaphat Bilau as high school PF recruits.

Blessed to receive an offer from Witchita State University #GoShockers

[Bluzrover]

I'm down with adding a stretch 4 with Markis graduating. I'm also down with adding another 4* guard (Grant Sherfield) as I don't think we have enough dynamic guards who can cause problems for our opponents in the AAC. But where do the schollies come from? Who isn't back next year?

[asiseeit]

Lots to like from the short video. Short jump hook from both hands and a decent looking
perimeter shot. Pretty athletic looking. I can imagine him with another 15 pounds of upper body
muscle being able to play both 4/5. Hope he is interested in us and signs !

[Shockm]

I really like these 6’10, 6’11 guys with long arms who can run, stretch the court to the perimeter, and play inside or outside (4 or 5 man). They are certainly intriguing and possible game changers. Players like this guy and Bilau don’t grow on trees and come around often.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Noticed that the guard in the video (#2) looked familiar. Looked it up and that is Zach Harvey out of Topeka. Has a ton of offers (KU, Gonzaga, Creighton, OU, Iowa State, Oregon, UCLA).

While I really like this guys versatility, I would rather have Brown or Alexander. The shear power and athleticism of those two cats make them immediate impact.

[asiseeit]

We have a pretty darn strong team coming back. I hope we don't waste a scholarship but if we
can find a guy to improve us - fine. This might be the guy. Not worried about the guard position or
the wings. If we get a 4* or above fine but I like this guy to improve our TEAM. DD, JB and ES
give us a damn strong perimeter and they play with synergy and D. I think TE is gonna be a help and RT
looked really good the 2nd half tonight .
