Arecko Gipson Jr. 6'6 Wing 2020 JUCO

[shocks02]

Wichita State was on-campus at East Mississippi CC (shoutout Last Chance U) yesterday to see 6'6 wing Arecko Gipson Jr. Arecko is originally from Cordova, TN (shoutout Rod Brown). Redshirted last season at EMCC due to injury, and will have three years to play Division 1 after this upcoming juco season. Offers from La Tech, Troy, Albany, Texas Southern, Jacksonville St, and SEMO.

Not an overly impressive list of offers so far but we will see. Do we really want to add another player to this year's 5-man freshman class assuming they all return? My peference would be to bring in a freshman and redhsirt 1 or 2 guys this year.

Well, ya gotta get the best guys ya can get, but I agree with your point

I guess that's the question. Is this the best guys we can get? His list of suitors at this point might indicate he is not the best guy we can get. But maybe he is a an under the radar steal.

Haven’t offered yet. Most juco guys aren’t heavily recruited yet. My guess it’s early but it appears they are looking to be safe in case they have to replace Dexter if he has a great year. That would keep the class at 5.

We are looking for the best available wing player-think the class is not as important as getting the right guy

I agree the class is not as important as the quality of player but it is a factor. Plus at this point I am not convinced this is the best available wing player although what 3G thinks clearly is what counts.

HCGM must be feeling pretty confident about some combination of Trey, Isaiah, DeAntoni, and Josephat at the four in 20-21.

That's a bunch of guys, so one would hope that some combination of them could fill 40 minutes at a position between them. Actually, I'd think that if all works out as WSU hoped when they recruited these four, they should be able by next season to combine for more than 40 minutes (and therefore fill more than just one spot), which leaves room for another wing -- or, who knows, maybe even another big man, which would obviously be a subject for a different thread.

NEVER stop recruiting! I don't care what the current roster looks like. You never know what might happen.

Updated video. Long athletic wing. Fits the mold of what HCGM and staff have been going after lately.

Not sure if anyone caught it, but this kid ended up at MVSU and played last night against the Shox. Had 1 point, 1 assist, 2 rebounds in 12 minutes.
