Willie Atwood '14 pf 6-8 offered

By "announcement" do you mean his tweet, "we about to make things happen." I didn't see anything else that could be called an announcement.

Yep. But I'm starting to think you may be right and this is just guys goofing with their twitter followers.

I will be very surprised if Atwood commits before his season is over and takes some visits. His coach is against visits before then. Although I haven't followed Dickerson as.closely, same goes for him.

Twitter - just what the internet always needed in order to spread rumors more rapidly.

Indiana and Nebraska are now interested as well.

Why would anyone want to go to any other school when they could play for one of the top rated teams in the country? And before this season is all over with perhaps . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Go back about a year and a half and read any of the recruiting threads on this site. As a group, we were pretty good at coming up with reasons recruits should come here rather than play for a top rated team.

If the offer still stands at the end of his season and Willie decides to go elsewhere, he is nuts.


Having FVV, Ron and Tekele around to feed the post + us losing Cle, CJ and Kadeem = opportunity any sane post player would kill for.

That would be a lovely tweet

I very much agree with this statement, especially regarding any JuCo Big for next year, or even the year after.

But I often tend to over-value the lure of a good basketball career decision when it comes to these sort of things. It seems that very often setting, proximity to home one way or another, the name on the jersey, the name on your opponent's jerseys and other "peripheral" items tend to factor more heavily on some recruits mind than they would on mine.

I would agree with you and by the same token I look at the young men past and present that represent WSU and know the the really important things in life are important to them as well.

Florida State has now offered. Just from a numbers standpoint the challenge of getting this guy continues to grow.

We do have so numbers in our favor such as Final 4 and 26-0.

Seriously though I think 3G's history of success with JUCO players has to be a big plus.

[WSUwatcher]

Another nice number the Shocks may have going for them at some point this season is 1 -- as in ranking some Monday if they can manage to stay unbeaten long enough, or as in regional seeding; or best of all, as in final standing after the tournament ends in April. That should be a somewhat attractive number, assuming a scholarship is there to be had.

First things first, however: at Evansville can be another dangerous game (as in the first 10 minutes in Wichita, rather than the last 30) -- let's hope the guys refocus after that less than stellar effort against SIU and avoid picking up the wrong kind of 1, as in the loss column.
