Israel Barnes - 6'3" Guard - Wichita SE to Weber St

[shoxlax]

I think so. He'd have to make a pretty big leap up the ladder to be at the Shox level. He's got talent, but nothing that screams D1 at me. I think in a lot of cases, players are on the radar a lot longer than we know. He scores a lot of points off layups caused by SE pressure or by using his athletic ability over smaller, less athletic players.

He may not play here but he will play D-1. Book it

I really wanted Val Barnes to be a Shocker. If I recall, he ended up at Iowa.

My favorite South Titan not named Ricky Ross. He had a nice career at Iowa.

I hope he does. And has a nice college career. He's a nice young man. Spoke to him a few weeks ago and seems like a great kid. It isn't an insult to him to say he won't play at wsu. Luckily there's a huge difference between playing for WSU now and playing for a lot of other D-1 schools. I'll be really interested in seeing him develop the next 2 years.

Your points are valid. Israel has shown a lot more "game" at the AAU level and his skills have improved a lot over the past 12 months. A lot depends on how much he grows as to what level of D-1 he plays at.

Israel is a Division I prospect and one of the top 2018s in Kansas. He's going to be fun to watch develop. Like I said in the Jerrick Harding thread, if you live in Wichita, go check out Southeast, Harding and Barnes are fun to watch.

Yes, and according to his Facebook page, he still lives in Iowa.

The Pyle clan is thick in McPherson. Lots of male offspring having lots of male offspring for a couple generations now. They own a construction company and a "complex" with giant houses for the family.

Skip Nickerson, Mark Hutton, and Robert George were all players I wish could have played under Coach Marshall. Talk about talent!!! The way players develop under 3G, I can only try to imagine how good they would have been here under his guidance.
