When you say, "does not play", do you mean RS or not join the Juco team at all? Why would a Juco give a schollie for a RS who would never play for them (he'd be leaving after his RS year)?

Why give scholarships to highly talented players who could start D1 ball at a lot of schools but will instead sit on your bench and not play? I dunno. Ask HCGM.

What has Marshall got to lose all he is going to be is a walkon

Am I the only one, whose head is spinning?

Just wondering.

A JUCO might like a good practice player, with or without offering a schollie. A JUCO might gain goodwill from a D1 coach (and perhaps be hired as an assistant someday). Who knows?

You're comparing apples with oranges. Two totally different situations.

My point was just that a talented player at any end of the bench makes the team better.

Agreed!

Interesting tweet.

[Kung Wu]

Right on!

[shock]

He plans on walking on, as in, "its official".

Speculations about Bush being a future scholartship player were made in another thread. I didn't want to threadjack those threads with comments about Bush, so I'm bumping this thread.

Local fans always seem to be over-enthusiastic about local talent. We want to see the local guys do good.

Bush was all-state in a large HS classification and had some great numbers in HS. To be effective in college, he'd have to move from post to either an undersized PF or SF. Bush has the exact talent (height) to be an effective HS player with a tough transition to D1 ball. I've not seen all these guys play, but I'm going to make a guess that Hall, Early, Wiggins, White, Green, Hawkins, Watson, Orukpe, Lufile are quicker, faster, more coordinated, and more athletic than Bush.

Bush strikes me as a more coordinated (at his age) 6'6" version of Stutz. I could be wrong and he could end up being a 6'6" version of Hatch, but I'm not optimistic about that direction of his future. I wish him the best, but I'm not looking for him to be more than walk-on during his WSU career.

I'm not saying I disagree with your assessment that Bush is likely to be a walk-on his whole career at WSU, but according to the Eagle article on the the first page of this thread, Bush played guard in high school, not post, in spite of being 6'6"; so whatever transition issues he will face moving from high school to DI, going from playing in the post to playing as a guard or small forward shouldn't be one of them.

“He’s a one-in-a-million type of kid that I’ll get to coach,” said Blue, who is coaching Eisenhower this season after seven years at Goddard. “To say we’re lucky is probably the biggest understatement ever. The fact that he has continued to grow and be able to play at a high level at guard … it’s just one of those things where I’ll never get to coach another one like him.”

He has himself listed as a "guard at Wichita State" on twitter. Now I'm pretty sure Marshall doesn't update his twitter page for him but I think 2-3 will be his position. He may always be a walk on I don't know, but he is a guard not a PF/C.

[WstateU]

No, he's probably not the next WSU superstar, however you might be surprised by his quickness and athleticism.
