Zachary Brown Class of 2014 is a Shocker!

[shockmonster]

Not only do they not have Shaq Morris as signed by WSU, they don't even have WSU list as a school of interest.

This long after, you'd think they would remedied this. However, I see a lot times that WSU isn't even listed on Rivals as a suitor for a player. Rivals not only has a lot of mistakes, they seem to disrespect WSU a lot more than Future 150. Maybe that will change in the future.

Maybe Future150 will start getting more recognition after they learn how to spell Wichita.

Since March-April 2013, I bet more (particularly in the basketball world) know not only how to spell and pronounce Wichita, but know where we are.

When I clicked on the verbal link, it said he is 6'7", 200 lbs, and a small forward, not a SG.

Those white boys said, "WTF? What just happened?"

You give Rivals more credit than I would. At least they can spell. Look at this story from own Eagle and Fred Mann.

And the number of Google searches for “Witchita State” rose by 298 percent.

Why does the Future 150 rankings not get anymore play on here than it does? Is Rivals the gold standard? You'll notice that our recruits get better respect or play on Future 150 than on Rivals or Scout (you see Brown, a 4 star at #70 on 2014, and Bowles a 3 star at #150 on 2013, Morris a 3 star was #145 several months ago and now is at #151). Brown is listed above others from Sunrise Christian like Nairn, etc. Future 150 also has good information on recruits listing strengths, weaknesses, rankings, etc. It seems to be a pretty good site for information.

Not as well publicized, probably. Scout and Rivals have done a pretty enterprising job of hooking up with media outlets like ESPN, Fox, and CBS as sources of recruiting info; also with some of the big schools. (For example, the Alabama board, Tidesports.com, that I consult for news on their football recruiting -- Bama's #3 sport behind football and spring football -- is a Rivals production. By contrast, I had frankly never heard of Future150 before seeing it mentioned here. Thanks and kudos, Shockernet). That doesn't mean Future150 isn't a good or even superior product, which in many ways I now believe it is -- just that it's much harder to find unless you make a specific effort to look.

While thanking the coaching staff and their families last night during the auction, HCGM mentioned Coach Turner and his ties to Texas and how everyone would soon learn exactly how valuable his recruiting ties to the Texas area were and that we would enjoy the fruits of those efforts.

Welcome to WSU Mr. Brown.
This is a great signing for Wichita State and a big opportunity for Zachary Brown!

Welcome to WSU Mr. Brown.

We only have a verbal from him. He can't sign until November at the earliest.

If he has the character of FVV then he will be signing in November. I have no doubt that with the type of good young men the staff recruits that come November Mr Brown will be a Shocker.

K-State fans didn't enjoy the news that they lost out: "no one cares about your mid major crap".
I'm certain the Final Four scoreboard reads:
WSU - 2
KSU - 0
in the past 50 years.

[RoyalShock]

This ESPN link says Creighton was after him, too.

Plans are for Brown to be Cle's replacement at the 3.

First, I didn't know Cle was our 3. Interested to see if that plays out in the fall.

Second, I really hope we don't have to wait 90 years for this kid.
