A long shot considering his offers, BUT signing this guy would be huge. He looks
like an immediate impact player.

Would be cool!!!

For what it's worth, I believe his recruitment from WSU is rather new. I would guess we've offered within the last couple of weeks because Jacob failed to mentioned our recruitment in several articles throughout September and the WSU offer is rather new on both services. Sites like 247 sports will list interest and offers from anywhere and everywhere, but a site like ESPN will usually just post a shortened list so it's usually a good sign to be connected to a player through them.

His dad played ball at Toledo, I believe. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/b...jacob-epperson

If anyone has a Scout subscription, wonder if there's any worthwhile info here? http://www.scout.com/college/basketb...week-hot-board

Still looking for that stubborn old roof to be blown off and Jacob sure looks like the player who could definitely do it.

Offical visits will be in 2017. Expect a Spring signing.

Taking official visits to Creighton and Toledo (dad played at Toledo) this month. Utah, Michigan State, Purdue and Texas are working for the other 3 remaining visits.

Anywhere but Omaha...

What's wrong with Omaha? Jake White played in Omaha.

Louisville exposed our lack of length in the lane. We need some bigs!

I will refrain from any Captain Obvious references but after it was reported that the Great Dane had visited, we offered,and during his visit to TCU, Mike K. made a reference about recruiting to Gregg. GM without referencing anyone in particular, made the comment that we had offered a BIG and were waiting for his answer. But we had been turned down before and our coaches would continue to work to recruit BIGS to WSU. My point is that it isn't as easy as just realizing a need for Big guys. In addition, I like how our current Bigs are playing right now.
