Brett Barney '14 6'10" PF, a Shocker!

[WSUwatcher]

If I'm not mistaken, last time we had a 6'10" walk on from the Maize area, we made the sweet 16. (David King, 06)

Now, that's an esoteric bit of WSU history. Unfortunately, you're a year off according to the goshockers stats -- King appeared in three games during the 2006-07 debacle, and wasn't listed during the 2005-06 season that ended with WSU's George Mason encounter in the round of 16.

Then again, making it to the second weekend isn't all the 2015-16 Shocks will be shooting for anyway.

King redshirted in 05-06

Getting more esoteric by the minute. I'll take your word for it, And, but where do people come up with this stuff?

So anyway, if Barney walks on and redshirts, the Shocks are guaranteed a spot in the round of 16 -- is that about it? If so, I'm willing to let Baker and Van Vleet take care of getting a better ending from there on out than the 2005-06 team had.

David King and Ryan Bradley. The twin towers.

I heard our new assistant is going to be a clown.

But I don't like clowns!



90s television reference aside, I know every kid wants to play, and I would never discourage a kid from following his dream to play anywhere, OR to have someone pick up the cost of a college education.

That being said, Zach Bush is just livin' the dream and don't think other kids don't see that.

When I had season tickets, I sat beside Brett. He's a huge WSU fan. Same for his parents.

He'll fit in well here; sing it Ol' Blue Eyes...

I would guess JR is too.

So if he walks on, that means our roster has 5 Kansas kids, and of those 5, 4 are from Wichita.

Baker - Scott City
Barney - Maize South (Wichita)
Bush - Goddard Eisenhower (Wichita)
Frankamp - Wichita North
Wessel - Wichita Heights

That's something for Gregg to hang his pimp hat on.

He was with the team last summer and participated in some of their photo shoots. I'm not sure why he didn't end up with the team this past season but he was cheering for them throughout the year on his Twitter page.
