    My understanding is that Linstead made inquiries about returning to WSU . . . under Marshall.

      If Linstead and Kenny had a good relationship then exploring the old hire the coach get the player aka Norwood/Valentine then WSU needs to find a spot for Linstead. I mean ku has exploited similar relationships before so it should be pretty well mapped out as far as the coach, father, girlfriend scenarios's have all been used by them.

        Have we landed anyone outside of Rauno that we didn't place there?

          Rauno was a happy accident as well.

          He was playing summer ball with some of the team here and ended up committing.

              On the 247 site, WSU is been mentioned as one of the three schools recruiting Pohto along with Minnesota, and Nebraska. It doesn’t show us offering, and all three are listed as “Cool”. That may be old information.

              The thing i like about Pohto besides his perimeter shooting skills is his high/low passing skills, and while I’m not sure Pohto can defend a 4, I think we have another 6’10 guy (McFarlane) who probably does have the quickness to guard a quicker 4 man. They would seem to be a perfect high/low offensive combination.

                  I'd gladly take another James Echinique, which is clearly what this kid is.

                  We should all hope that he could one day be that good. The potential is certainly there.

                    He’s not the rim protector JE was. He is 6’11 but isn’t springy or as quick. But he is a better shooter, and a very good passer (just like JE).

                      What were this kids' stats for blocking shots?

                      Not as quick? Watch the hudl video beginning at the 1:22 mark. Or do you mean quickness down on the low block, which the hudl video reveals plenty of there also?

                      This kid is a good fit, anywhere...

                        I don’t remember Jaime being a good passer let alone a very good one. 0.4, 0.6 assists doesn’t scream great passer.

                          Agreed.

                          Maybe there's a different Jaime Echinique out there. Must be. Either that or we've been trolled.

                            Get this kid and I don't care too much what we do with the other two 'ships.

                              You're the one who made the initial comparison to Jamie Echineque. You must be a troll. LOL

                                It'd be nice if we could get him. He has a lot of skills. It appears he is starting all over with his recruiting. He knows Wichita, which may or may not be good (depending on his experiences). I don't know if our Center returning is a negative but Mo shouldn't be a detriment to him coming. He has a lot more length and many more skills than Mo does.
