WSU notes: Zach Brown remained steadfast in his commitment

If this story sounds familiar, you know the story of Fred VanVleet’s commitment to Wichita State, which really meant a commitment.

Sunrise Christian Academy forward Zach Brown (6-foot-7) gave WSU a non-binding commitment in May. Soon after, he played in a tournament in California and schools such as Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi State, Alabama and Kansas State wanted in the hunt. Coaches called. The family talked. His AAU coach wanted him understand his options. Gary Brown, his father, wanted his son to make a smart choice, even if that meant considering other schools.

Zach Brown never wavered. On Wednesday, he signed a letter of intent to play at WSU as a freshman next season. His family attended the signing ceremony at Sunrise Christian, where he plays on the post-graduate team, and his dad said he felt as if his son was born to be a Shocker.

Like FVV, another Shocker with laser focus and commitment.

Coaches grabbed some winners with this most recent group. I believe they went out and found talented guys that have stated AND proven that they are willing to do whatever is necessary to win!

Can't see anything that I don't like about that group. I would like to think that they represent the group that not only put their stamp on WSU basketball but took it to another higher level.

I'll put this out now since it's coming up in just over 3 weeks. You can watch the game at this link on January 1 at 1pm.

Pretty good. Will be even better when our coaches get those TOs under control.

I like that he is playing JUCO competition, and having some success. I imagine Zach is going to be very good by this time next year.

Yes, it would be hard to imagine better preparation without using up a year of eligibility than playing solid JC opponents from time to time. Very helpful.

It's almost unfair that we get him for four years but he gets to play against jucos the entire season.

...I'll take it.
