Kerwin Roach Jr. 15 SG 6-3 - Verbal Texas

[shoxlax]

As would Wade thrown in as well in addition to or vice one of the names mentioned.

[WUs Your Daddy]

That would be an unbelievable class. Although they seem to play the same position I think Shamet and Roach would compliment each other really well. Throw in Wade and forget about it.

They both play multiple positions (probably capable of playing 1-3 positions. This way, they wouldn't play the same position at the same time. :)

With commit of Brown to K State, they are out of scholarships. Roach could be the next great guard for us.

[WSUwatcher]

Well, Eater, if K-State has apparently used up its scholarships, what happens if Dean Wade decides to go there? We all know that somehow they'll find a spot, just as Marshall would in a similar situation, and that they'll make the numbers work one way or another.

The same is no doubt true for Roach. WSU is far from the only school where someone almost invariably leaves before he uses up his eligibility; if anything, WSU under Marshall is probably more stable than many big-time programs (not to mention K-State -- how could I set myself up like that and not follow through?) are in terms of dropouts. Yet we saw WSU sitting on 14 all summer, and Marshall showing not the least bit of concern about it. So it would come as no surprise for the Kittens to have 14 guys seemingly committed for next year by the time signing is done, and if that what it takes for them to land Roach they'll do it, and probably quite legitimately.

Having said that, it probably can't hurt WSU for Barry Brown to have committed to a school in which Roach is also interested.

Roach is actually no longer interested in KSU.

This kid is smart. I really like him!

[Steeleshocker]

I love the pitch we can now make to recruits regarding playing time.

With all the shots Fred and Ron got during the run to the final four as freshmen and watching our new crop of wings and forwards battling for playing time this season, we validate the statement telling kids they can come here and play right away.

Now, I'm sure Marshall is telling those same kids they will have to earn it, but there is evidence that he is willing to play freshmen in critical moments of big games if they give us the best chance to win.

I'm going to be sad to see Darius, Tekele, and Ron go (assuming he's league bound), but having Roach, Shamet, and Hamilton replace them will definitely give me a warm feeling about the future.

I really want Roach.

Do you have a source on that one? I haven't seen that anywhere.

[EatWheat]

buzz is VC Cobb cannot make grades. Wade gets his scholarship. A clinker recruit from 2 years ago transfers freeing another. Coach M a master at this stuff.

@BIReports
Per his Father, Kerwin Roach cancels his visit to Kansas State this weekend & is possibly considering a 5th school to visit. #BIReports

Between Wufan and Eatwheat, we have an update on both Kerwin and an idea of who the someone's are who will be starring in the Little Apple version of 'Someone's got to go'! Thanks, guys.

[Ashockalypse]

Bump-for obvious reasons.

[Shock Top]

Even though the team is currently fully committed for next season, I bet they will sign at least one more. My gut tells me Roach is the guy.

I hope it's right.

[pinstripers]

I'm gonna go with one more fall signing and it will be the PG from Arkansas.
