  • 2016 visits, short lists, ect

    It's now the heart of 2016 recruiting. I'll try to keep a current list here of players who have included WSU on their short list or who are expected to visit. Although we have 5 seniors this year it appears Peyton Allen and Conner Frankamp will be receiving scholarship for 2016-17. Therefore 3 scholarships will probably be available if there are no transfers. I plan to update info as received and delete if a recruit drops WSU from consideration. It's believed all of the listed recruits have been offered by WSU unless noted below.

    Update: C.J. Keyser, a Rivals' 3 star, ESPN 4 star 6-3 combo guard has given a verbal commitment to WSU.

    Update: Daishon Smith, a 6-1 juco point guard at Tallahassee CC has given a verbal commitment to WSU. The Shockers have one for sure scholarship available.

    Update: Darrlyn Willis, a 6-8 or 6-9 juco point guard at Pearl Ricer CC has signed with WSU. There are no more for sure scholarships left. Paul Sullentrop wrote today that Allen and Frankcamp are scheduled to receive scholarships next year.



    DEMOND "D.J. WILKINS JR:

    The 6-2 combo guard is a Rivals 3 star and has scheduled an unofficial visit to WSU on August 22. No list but known offers are from Furman, IUPUI and Northern Kentucky. No known offer from WSU.



    MELVIN SWIFT:

    A 6-7 juco forward who is not ranked as of yet by Rivals in the 2016 class. However he was ranked as high as 58th at Yates Hi in Texas before he fell out of the top 100. His current top 7 according to his tweet:

    Wichita State
    Memphis
    Ole Miss
    Texas
    Arkansas
    Kansas
    Nevada


    DARRLYN WILLIS:

    He will visit WSU the weekend of September 19th. He's a 6-8 pf at Pearl River CC. He also plans a visit to Marquette. No known Shocker offer.

    Update: Shocks offer

    Update: After his visit to WSU, Willis states the Shockers are his favorite but wants to complete his 5 visits to be fair. Visits with Mississippi State, Marquette, Arizona State and Oklahoma are planned.


    TYRIK DIXON:

    The 6-1 pg is visiting the Shockers the weekend of September 19th. No known offer from WSU.



    GARY NAYLOR:


    The 6 foot pg from Indianapolis had an unofficial visit to WSU on September 28th. No known Shocker offer.



    SHAWN NOTTINGHAM:

    The 6-3 sg juco from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M JC unofficially visited WSU near the end of September. No known Shocker offer.

          No doubt. I don't think he's reclassifying. I think that was wishful thinking on Kentucky's part. I'm sure we tried to reclassify him and failed, and I'm just as sure that Kentucky will fail.

          That does not mean he will not attend either Kentucky or WSU, only that neither school could get the NCAA to approve his reclassification.

          I think we have as good a chance at getting him as Kentucky will during the next year. In fact, I'm betting that Kentucky will be chasing the next big 'one and done' kid by spring and will have totally forgotten about Mr. Humphries.

            This really seems logical to me.

              This was my thought, too.

                I might have to disagree on a technical point. It sounds like he hasn't finished class work that would perhaps make him eligible. I have doubts if the clearinghouse would make a determination until they receive transcripts that include those classes.
