That can't be accurate. No Kansas and no Kentucky? Self & Cal getting out recruited by 3G?

By early Sunday, he had changed the background on his Twitter feed to show the court at Koch Arena, the Shockers’ home, and added #SHOCKTHEWORLD"

“Physically, he’s like Kevin Durant,” St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley said. “Same lean body type. He can shoot the three. He can put the ball on the floor. He’s like a rubber man. He can twist and turn around the basket and take advantage of his length.”

How many over does this put us for next year? I think it's two, right?

Our incoming roster from next year looks like this:

Kelly
Brown
Wessel
Henderson
Holland
Nurger
Wamukota
FVV
Morris
Baker
Glass

That gives us 11 scholarship players. With four players coming in (Eric Hamilton, Landry Shamet, Tyrone Taylor, and Markis McDuffie) that puts us at 15. Assuming Baker leaves for the NBA we are still one over.

Right you are but as 3G has stated on numerous occasions he does know how to count to 13. What this tells me is that 3G is quite confident in Ron having a big year. Beyond that having one excess scholarship has pretty much become the norm for the Shocker program under 3G.

Listed at 6-8, 168...I'm hoping that's supposed to be 186, but...either way he's tall and might grow taller, and he's a legit wing.

He is listed by High School Coach (Bobby Hurley) at 6'8"; 195 lbs and growing! He could be 6"9" and >200 lbs by the time he reports to WSU's strength coach!

Every other report I've seen has him at 6-7 or 6-8 and 175-195.

Bobby Hurley probably knows more about his height and weight than other reports.

I look for both Baker and Wessel to leave.

So when is the last time Coach Marshall didn't bring in a Junior College player?

This might be the year.

I hope wherever Sub is he's happy now.

[BOBB]

I'll take up the cause! I am stoked we have no JC's.

[shockmonster]

Marshall has done a great job of recruiting Juco's in the past. We've had some good JC players and I've liked almost all of them. I take no particular joy of not having Juco players but this Freshman class looks to be talented, mature, unselfish personalities, good basketball IQ's, a will to be good players, plus we have them for 4 years. That seems to be a great combination.

Next season ain't here yet.
