How many freshman would you like to have? BTW, Mantle isn't going to go to WSU but Maris will. So the question is will you take a Maris over say a Kevin Maas?
Why does everybody try to second guess everything? The staff isn't full of ratards and Wiggins is a fine player so quit the boohooing.

We'd all prefer to land five top 150 freshman every year, however, I'll take two top 150 frosh and 2 JUCO AAs any day!
Oh, and by the way, we also signed a 6-8 SG that made Texas All-State and a 6-10 jumping jack!
Then there's that Pac-10 All Defensive PG and that other JUCO AA that is paying his own way despite a scholarship to Sweet 16 Ohio...and the First Team All-State Kansas kid that all red-shirted this past year.
The best part is I didn't even mention any of the six returners from the first place team in the MVC!
Seriously! Ten years ago we'd have been over the top excited about Green and Henry, and while we don't think they are chopped liver, they are clearly the 5th and 6th best players in this recruiting class.Livin the dream

@vancedave56: our current Junior and Senior classes include one original Freshman. I'll stipulate two with EO's situation. The reality is that we had two years of misses on high school players and rather than play young guys we've fixed it with JUCO's. Now, Cotton and White look like long-term contributors and we'll see how this class shakes out, though I wonder if it will ultimately be as freshmen laden as @Ta town: describes.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.

I still think he's in the mold of AJ Hawkins, but could be better than AJ at bringing his ability to game time.

I'm not a huge fan of JUCOs, but I have no problem with what's been done. It's filled some holes. Exactly what they should be used for.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
