Shake Milton '15 sg 6-4 verbal to SMU

[Aargh]

Not many schools can offer a recruit the chance to hang out in the locker room with an undefeated, F4 team.

The way I'm seeing things is that recruits who are concerned with all of their games being on national TV will not sign with WSU. That's a good thing. I'd rather have recruits who are more concerned with winning basketball games.

In baseball, coaches want to recruit at the top end of those who won't go pro straight out of HS. In bsketball, its seems that WSU's best recruiting target is the top end of those who will play 4 years of college ball. Avoid the early exit recruits, but go for the absolute top end of everyone else.

That will also work effectively to eliminte the guys who think they should be one(or two)-and-done, but really need more than that before they're ready for the NBA. Marshall appears to be recruiting at the high end of 4-year players. That leads to cutting down a lot of nets and getting sized for a lot of Championship Rings.

We should keep a close eye on this one. From what I' 've seen and heard he is very good. When Trier (a 4 star) was in Oklahoma, some liked Shake better. Got a feeling there is very strong interest.

I could post some highlight videos but I'm tired and still have to many more lines to code.

I'm gonna be a huge fan no matter where he goes. I like him much more than Trier.

I believe I spy an assistant coach from Wichita State watching Owasso Class of 2015 guard Shake Milton #okpreps

No one is going to be able to replace Tekele. That being said, this kid is a stud. Go get him Gregg!

Milton averaged 29points in the regular season. Offers from Oklahoma, SMU, Creighton and Tulsa.

Shake it Shake!

I saw him play last year out here in Southern California. I really liked his game then.
I'm sure he is better now.

Maybe his fellow LeBron Academy alum Ron Baker can help focus him toward WSU -- especially if Shake is concerned about how coaches prepare players. After all, Marshall helped Early become a draft prospect even though he only had the last two years with him. If WSU gets Milton right out of high school, who knows what they might accomplish together?

@JamieShaw5: Shake Milton 6'4 2015 #MoKan tells me Wichita St, Missouri, & UNLV have now offered @snipershake

[mumdaddy316]

Would be a nice pickup for the 2015 class

@JeffRabjohns: 2015 G Shake Milton (@SniperShake) said the 4 schools where he is taking official visits - Indiana, Illinois, Okla, SMU - are his final 4.

[WSUwatcher]

As mum might say, still one visit left -- better keep after him.

I guarantee you: if this were football, and Shake was a top recruit at a position Alabama wanted to fill, and he had one visit not yet set, Nick Saban and his staff would be keeping after him.
