Wabash missed some free throws under 10 minutes that would have really helped their cause.
Nick was 3-5 from the line in the last 8-9 minutes."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Just got back from the game. My impressions of Wiggins:
Otero played very tough man-to-man defense. Wabash had to work for every point they got. Wiggins got very few jump shots and most of those he did take were a little forced. He's definitely athletic and can jump (he jumped center and got the ball). Effort on defense seemed inconsistent and I"m not sure he can defend from the two in D1. Looked like a prototypical SF to me.
You can see he has potential but I wasn't overly impressed in his game today. I'm sure part of that was due to Otero's defense. He was the high scorer for Wabash, though.
I think I spotted Marshall across the arena. Seemed like he spent 80% of his time looking or talking on his phone. Getting updates on his USC offer, I'm sure ;) . Frank Martin, on the other hand, was mostly watching the action once he took his seat.

Martin was probably texting Marshall trying to get updates on the SC search. Since Marshall is from the area and knows people.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

I'm not throwing anyone under the bus. I want to see Wessel do well. However, there are experienced players ahead of him and we've heard nothing but great things about what Baker brings to the team from 3G himself. Even if you take Baker out of that equation, there's still a lot of talent ahead of him.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

Armstead was a part-time starter in the Pac-10, Williams and Hall were part-time starters at WSU this past year. White, Orukpe, and Cotton were in the 9/10 man rotation. That is SIX of the nine or ten spots that will receive regular PT. Van Vleet, Hawkins, and espescially Early appear "ready." That pretty much wraps up the available PT for next year and it makes Baker, Mitchell, Wessel, Green, Anacreon, and Henry dark-horses for minutes. Any or all of them could earn minutes and step into the rotation, but at this time the speculation is that they will have more to prove than the other nine. It has nothing to do with not wanting or believing that the others can succeed.Livin the dream

Originally posted by wufan View Post@mumdaddy316, you continually bring up players like Wessel and paticularly Mitchell as if everyone is dismissing them or "throwing them under the bus." That is simply not the case. Both Wessel and Mitchell might be great contributors next year or later, but there are 13 scholarship players and generally a 9 man rotation. That means that someone has to sit. On top of that, it appears that in addition to the 13 scholarship players, the Shockers will have 1, 2, or 3 D-I walk-ons. So only about 2/3 of the roster will see meaningful minutes next year.
