I wish we were in another conference.

That doesn't seem to hurt half of the teams in his list.

[WSUwatcher]

I was thinking the same thing, ShockTalk: James Madison, Fla International, Duquesne, and Jacksonville?

Which conference did you have in mind, Ricky?

Actually, I gave the Dukes credit for being in the Atlantic 10. I was thinking more Kent St.

[WSUwatcher]

I didn't remember Duquesne's affiliation, ShockTalk, but Kent State's the local school if he's from Akron.

Good catch. I see Akron and I think of the Zips as being the local school.

My comment was a generalization.

While perhaps not for this specific recruit, our conference affiliation is not a magnet.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

You're right.

Coach: You have to decide. Your final two are a team that went to the Final Four, and a team from the SEC.

Player: What league does that Final Four team play in?

Coach: The Missouri Valley.

Player: Screw the Final Four! I want to play in the SEC.

Nah, Don't see that.

[pinstripers]

I see it

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Really?

Name ONE.

I think Hammond is a good example. Nebraska sucks but he went to a BCS
league

[tropicalshox]

We didn't offer Hammond and I think it's a safe bet that we didn't want him.

I have actually been wondering something like this. We've always credited Marshall with doing a great job of attracting and landing really solid young men as well as athletes. I get that you have to go with the best players at the end of the day, but I wonder how often he targets a guy, meets him and then crosses him off based on who the guy was inside.

There might be some of this going on with all the bigs who we seem to be not getting.

[tropicalshox]

I was thinking his style of play, certainly not his character or academics.

I'm not following him closely enough to know any better. Its just a thought I have from time to time.

they may suck now but they have made vast improvements.
