Markis McDuffie 6-7 SF 2015 - COMMITTED TO WSU

[Dave Stalwart]

Wait WHAT!? Oh yes.

How long till Districtballer shows up? He was our VCU friend right?

[ShockerDropOut]

I was sad we missed out on Kerwin, but Markis is going to be big time here!

This recruiting class coming up is stacked. We should have if I'm not mistaken for the upcoming year:

Eric Hamilton - PF down at Sunrise whose learning to play SF. My favorite of the 4 and should recommit here officially in just a few weeks!
Landry Shamet - SG with the handles of a PG.
Tyrone Taylor - PG and a defensive specialist.
Markis McDuffe - A highly athletic SF who is still growing and filling out his skillset.

We are stacked at the 1-3 for the foreseeable future. Rip 'Em Up, Tear 'Em Up, let's go SHOCKS!

Gotta agree with DocLove: stacked. Welcome Markis! Hope your have a long and distinguished career here. We are elated to have you! Great to be a Shocker!

Really nice article from Josh Verlin. Sounds a lot like Cle's route here.

It was good up until the point when he said we had one Final Four.

Wow! WOW! This is great news Shocker fans and a big wish come true for me. With this years class, the 2015 class puts us in great shape with loads of big time young talent and terrific young men. GM's stamp is all over this group, thankfully!

That ruined it for you?

Big time! Two 3* athletic prep schoolers in 6-9, 220 Hamilton and 6-3 PG Taylor two go with 2 top 100 wing guards in 6-4 Shamet and 6-8 McDuffie.

What a great class on the heals of Henderson, Holland, Brown, Kelly, Morris, and Nurger!!!

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.

All of the above is correct. One of the new players may not qualify or may be placed at a prep school. Otherwise, we will have two current players that are not on scholarship for one reason or another.

Just a thought, but I'm not convinced scholarships will be limited to 13 next season.

somebody always leaves

Crossed my mind too, but I think that is still a year out.

Anyone have ESPN Insider?

Here is a prediction from a guy that was around 35-1 correct on WSU wins last Season. Before Taylor gets here, I think he will also crack the top 100 as well. Sunrise will be a great place for Hamilton to

develop. Watching highlights of Markis reminds me some A.Carr when he was that age. I think he will play, play, play from jump street. This recruiting class has me happier than a lark, amped up as

a rock star, and thankful as our Coaching Staff just keeps improving as solid recruiters. 21st and Hillside is where it is at bay-bay!!!!!!!
