Manroop Clair - 2013 To Hawaii

[forevershockerfan]

FSF loves great shooters with range. He also was takin it to the rack which keeps the defenders confused as to how close to guard.

Can we just go ahead and sign this kid so we'll be 47 over on scholarships? Everyone else is signing with us so why not add one more? Besides, anyone with the name Manroop would start for any other team in the Valley.

Contain yourself, Cap -- he's class of 2013. By that time the Shocks will have a new batch of at least three scholarships to work with, only one of which (for Earl Watson, the juco hulk) is spoken for so far.

By the way, I like joco's idea of adding Canadians as a general discussion topic; why not? (Although presumably none of our posters would worry about the Shocks becoming Canadian heavy.) Maybe after that the staff can magically lure Canada's Andrew Wiggins to WSU, and we can see what our guys who don't like the influx of two-year players think of having a one-year player instead.

It's a hell of a lot different if you only have a guy for a year or two if he's making the jump to the NBA

I almost named my daughter Manroop.

Those must have been some awfully good pharmaceuticals you were taking at that time.

As it stands, it appears we should have three 'ships for '13. One has been spoken for by big man Earl Watkins. The question is, where would they be used best? I really like this kid and he strikes me as a CG type which is nice. And we may need some help at PG next year.

PG - Cotton (JR), FVV (SO) Baker? (SO)
SG - Wiggins (SR), Baker (SO), Cotton (JR)
SF - Early (SR), Wiggins (SR), Green (FR/SO), Baker (SO), Hawkins (FR/SO), Wessel (JR)
PF - White (JR), Lufile (SR) Hawkins (FR/SO), Watkins (JR)
C - Lufile (SR), Watkins (JR), Uwadiae (FR)

SR - Lufile, Wiggins, Early
JR - Cotton, Wessel, White
SO - FVV, Baker, Green?, Hawkins?
FR - Uwadiae...

Going off of that, I'd think another big would be nice to have. Maybe one you could RS. It would appear that a guard of some kind would be of value as well. Space will open up on the wing, potentially, the year after the one listed above when Early and Wiggins are both gone. I'm thinking ideally, we'd grab a CG and a post of some type with the last two.

Manroop would be a great addition and fulfill the CG type I'd like to see fill one of the spots. Then add to that another 6'8"+ post presence. I'd be happy with that.

Strange decision. Hawaii is not a good team.
