David also keeps an up to date list of offers on his phone because he knows how angry coaches can get when they aren't mentioned in a recruiting update. That list runs as follows: Boise State, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Colorado, Western Kentucky, St. Louis, Fresno State and Texas Tech.

At least his first name isn't . . . . oh, I can't do it.

Royal's a solid citizen -- I'm sure he meant Weed.

He will visit Nebraska, Boise State and Western Kentucky. If he chooses to take more visits they will come from a list of 5 other non-Final Four schools.

I still don't get how a Final Four team with PT available for big guys is struggling to make the final list of these guys.

With that said, I'm starting to think, at least in this guys case, it's a good thing. Based off of his list of schools, I'd say he's afraid of facing competition or being pushed for PT at all. While Boise has gotten better, they're still not all that great. WKU has a bit of history, but aren't special. Nebraska sucks. None of these teams are going to be better than an 11 seed if they get in the dance.

We want guys here who want to get better. Who want to be pushed. We'll find another like Shaq that fits the bill, but it's a little frustrating seeing so many bigs choose to play in weaker programs.

I'm puzzled too. Maybe we got in late on some of these guys? With Wacker the first news of our offer was 2 weeks before his decision.

[SubGod22]

It's starting to look like landing Hurt is crucial. Still need a FR big for depth and security, but it's looking to be a bit more challenging than one would think.

There's always the JUCO route. That has served us pretty damn well over the last several years.

How would you rate our front court last year. Great, Solid or meets minimum requirement? How would you rate this year's front court, Great, Solid or meets minimum requirement?

[wu_shizzle]

There's always the JUCO route. That has served us pretty damn well over the last several years.

And that could be how we're being recruited against. I'm sure there are some negative recruiters out there telling kids they're going to be recruited over.

All the predictions point to Nebraska http://247sports.com/Player/David-Wacker-31369

[Snapshot9]

Nebraska, you're kidding, right? Doesn't he want to be on a winning team?

Verbals to Boise State

[WSUwatcher]

If he wasn't coming here anyway, that's a good choice -- I've been to Boise, and it's a fun place. Reminds me of a smaller and more manageable (and cooler-weather, obviously) version of Austin, another fun place with which he's probably somewhat familiar. (And also one that doesn't come to mind when I think of Lincoln, Nebraska.)
