Bush Wamukota 7 Foot C 2014 - is a Shocker!

[newshock1234]

curious to see his numbers at Kilgore this upcoming year

[AZ Shocker]

I like this signing alot!!! You need a big 7' defense clogging the lane in Final Fours!!!! Shocks always play GREAT defense. Lucky enough to get by Baker, Early or Van Fleet....please feel free to go meet Mr. Wamukota at the rim!!! Bye-bye ball!!!

Don't forget that we have Shaq, who will more than likely play the kind of minutes that Carl played. Bush will more than likely play the kind of minutes EO played (unless he is more skilled than we expect). The combo of Hall/EO worked out well. Why not embrace the Shaq/Bush combo?

What if he throws an alley up to both of the bigs, could it be Zach Bush to Shaq/Bush?

[WuDrWu]

They might have the Valley echoing the concerns of the Reverend Jackson...gottsta stay outta the Bushes!








Edit: It's certainly possible that I have mixed up my Reverends. If so, please accept my apologies.

Mind reading is a rare talent. In fact, it is almost non-existent.

Mind readers are seldom correct.

My son and I did some work for a woman that lived in Wichita but traveled all over the US as a psychic. After we were finished she asked how much she owed us. Later I told my son "She must not be very good or she would have already known how much she owed". He just about died laughing.

Welcome to Shocker Nation, Bush!

[WSUwatcher]

So what is his actual name -- we usually see Bush, but if he also "goes by" Tom, it causes me to wonder if Bush is a real name itself, or maybe a shortened / Anglicized version of a more exotic Kenyan name (like Barack)?

From the kansas.com article, it sounds like he already has better offensive skills than EO did when he graduated.

Updated Eagle article on Wamukota's commitment.

“I didn't know there was different levels of basketball,” Wamukota said. “When I got here, I got to realize there were higher levels.”

Hoberecht said 44 NCAA Division I coaches watched his team play during a 35-day stretch this fall, speeding up the recruiting buzz on Wamukota. WSU coaches watched him at jamboree this fall and made Kilgore a regular stop.

Don't forget to throw Jake White and CJ into the that Einstein statement. They each had an impact as well.

I went and watched some tape from last year. EO was a huge part of what made our defense work last year. He was a lot more valuable than his stats. His ability to get low and defend pick and roll situations was unusual.

Great, just what this program needs, another overhyped EO twin with raw skills who will amount to a hill of beans. The only thing I remember about EO is his gut wrenching horribly missed free throws against Louisville that pretty much solidified the loss and blew all the momentum we had in that game.

If this guy proves me wrong, I'll eat a plate of water buffalo ballz from his native country.

I'm just thrilled to have another big on the list of possible newcomers. It was getting dicey watching all these others bigs roll somewhere else. It'll be interesting to watch Bush this year to see what he has, now that he's, hopefully, playing in a system better suited for his size and style of play.

A sleeper. Wow, no one saw this coming, that's for sure. I would love to know who the first coach was to find this guy. Forbes?

Well, how do you really feel about EO?! I would agree that he wasn't a tremendously talented player, nor would I fail to mention there were times I cringed whenever someone gave him the ball, but I think he provided some much needed defense and was a real factor down in the paint in many of the games I was able to catch last year. Here's hoping that Bush is a diamond in the rough and his new coach will give him the playing time he most definitely needs before he gets to WSU. I'm pretty confident that 3G will find a way to use the kid and teach him a thing or two about Marshall basketball while he's at it.
