Originally posted by Jhook89 View PostI brought this up in another thread and most just ignored it lol. I think it is unlikely, but it might be wise to hold the scholarship for next year. I would love for us to get a monster 5 this year to put next to all our returning guys, but the reality is it is very late in the recruiting game and most of those monster 5s are already spoken for or our chances are very slim. We are talking to some very high quality recruits in the class of 15. Going 35-0 has open even more doors than were already open. Let's say we are able to snag a top 100 guy with that last scholarship next year. It could be better in the long run to save it for next year, as hard as it is to do..

Here are all the team stats at NW Fla. Glass had better stats, but more minutes, than Hurt.
The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

If a competent big man can't be secured, there are still other high-level positions to be had, plus D1 transfer options. The one position that is in question is at the 5. A combo 4/5 guy would be a nice get. Although Shaq has freakish skills, his "want to" is still in question. The 7-0 Bush is unproven as well. If this question mark can be answered with a serviceable contribution in 2014-15, this could be another magical season.

Jordan seems like a fine young man and a good player. Would like to have him on board the Shocker locomotive. However, if a young man chooses another program over Wichita State it does not make him a bad person. Very hard to predict what will catch a kids fancy about any particular program.
What I do know is that Jordan could thrive very will at Wichita State with the appropriate work ethic ala Cleanthony Early.
Of course, that doesn't mean he won't do well if he chooses another program. Tough choice for a young guy.
Becoming a Wichita State Shocker would be a very, very good decision for Jordan IMHO.

Originally posted by Jhook89 View PostI agree with you. I believe we will fill the spot. That still is unrelated to the fact it could be wiser to hold it for next year where we only have a couple spots open at the moment.
HCGM dealt with a short bench his first year here, and I'm guessing he will do everything in his power to make sure it doesn't happen again.
We got super lucky that Fred, Ron or Tekele didn't get hurt or battle foul trouble much this year."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

We may be deep with bodies, but not in skill-set, which could be as bad or worse."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

FVV, Baker, Cotton, Carter, Shaq, Wamukota, Brown, Kelly, Holland, Henderson, Wessel, and Simon should all play some. That's 12 deep right there and that assuming Hamilton RS and Bush doesn't play any.
You fill the roster with the best players you can and hope 2-3 give you significant contributions.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.
