Cullen Russo pf 6-9 2015 to Fresno State

[Dan]

2013 WSU.

Literally 2 years ago. And it was at WSU. And it was even the guy you're trying to hate on.

Boom. Roasted.

What? Cleanthony Early started at the 4 that year.

First and foremost, the 2012-2013 team was the one that made a FF.

Secondly, according to this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2...asketball_team
The roster shows this:
G 3 Evan Wessel 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) 201 lb (91 kg) So Wichita, KS

But even taking your example, didn't Cle play most of the time at the 4?

Boom your A$$. Here's a towel so you can wipe that egg off your face.

[Cdizzle]

What? Cleanthony Early started at the 4 that year.

He started 22 of 39 games. How quickly we forget.

What happened to the thread about Cullen Russo pf 6-9 2015?

Good point, sorry but others who worship Evan derailed it, I'm just playing along. In fact, I think some of the people here think we really don't need a big, we can start Evan at PF next year and we'll somehow beat the Kentuckys and Dukes of the world.

[shocka khan]

Yes, like you. You seem to have a problem with that. We didn't make the FF in 2013-2014, and in the game against Kentucky (which wasn't a final four game, again), Cle was on the floor most of the time (must have been one of those 22 games).

Again, the 2012-2013 team was the FF team, and I am still waiting for you to name the FF team with a 6'4" PF that started and averaged less than 6 points per game.

I can see you're getting an early start to 420 day. Just remember that too much ganja makes your memory go bad.....OOPS too late!

Oh right. That is different than the date I gave. Or it isn't. I can't remember. If you're going to contend that the year I correctly stated wasn't the year that you also stated, despite the numbers being the same, I really don't see this going anywhere.

[shocka khan]

Start out by stating an incorrect premise.......

Ignore the obvious incorrect premise and do your happy dance.

Tell me I have the wrong year (when I point it out to you that you're wrong) and call me incorrect.

So, do you sell used cars for a living or are you a politician? Remind me not to respond to any incorrect post you make in the future, as the FIRST thing I need to do is point out that your wrong.

[shocka khan]

I used to be a big Evan Wessell detractor. No more. His value to the team goes WAY beyond the stats that show up in the newspaper.

Don't count me in that group. I can add and subtract (unlike cdizzle) and my addition and subtraction tells me he needs to be on the floor, just not at the position he's playing.

And that I agree with your point. I just disagree with the position he was playing last year.

[Dan]

I like Evan and the hustle he provides, but he was using a medical redshirt the year of our Final 4 run.

[Cdizzle]

He started the first 8 games (all wins).

[calfan]

I must be in the minority.

I come to the Cullen Russo thread to learn more about Cullen Russo.

If you want to argue about Wessell, there are other places to have that argument.

[Cdizzle]

Fair enough. Though I do think there is a natural progression from evaluating a potential recruit to considering where he fits in on the team, which is where this started.

I will relent.

I'm interested to see where things go next weekend with Russo and Mohamed.

[shocka khan]

I'm hoping we get Mohamed. I don't know what happened to Dickey @ U of H, but he certainly had recruited a number of good players.

When he was at Tech, I thought he was a good talent evaluator and did well given the location and difficulty in recruiting high-level athletes there.

What happened to Mohamed was beyond anyone's control, Dickey was forced to resign @ U of H, "Chicken" Knowles went on to be all-SEC @ A&M.

[Bluzrover]

I would say, given no news regarding Russo, our interest must be in Mohamed. I just can't see 3G letting a recruit walk out the door if he really wanted him. More than that, I would suspect it to be rather difficult on the part of the recruit to walk away from an offer at Wichita State. But then again, I'm a Shocker homer.

I don't know enough about Mohamed to make any observation about the guy but I'm curious as to his aptitude for the American game. How much of a project will he be, if any? Isn't one project Big enough in this program? Bush has come a long way in a short span of time but he's got a much longer row to hoe before he gets to the level of play I think this team needs from him.

Russo seems to me to be less of a project. Of course, anybody that's available at this stage of the recruiting process, especially JUCOs and transfers, are probably projects.

Oh, and FWIW, I'm a huge EW fan. I'm pretty sure he'll be on the court next year and we'll be a better team because of it. I just won't predict where he'll be playing. But I can only imagine the competition this summer for the 3 and 4 spots is going to be brutal (as in great).

Russo hasn't taken his visit yet. He had travel problems, and they are trying to reschedule him.
