We have 10 guys who regularly see the floor. That leaves Hamilton and Keyser as the last two off the bench. If it is going to be suggested to one of the players that they would get more playing time and be better suited at another college, you would think it would come from one of those two.

Keyser's minutes are going up. Hamilton's are going down. In one recent game Barney came off the bench ahead of Hamilton.

There are other possibilities - none of them are something fans would like. Reaves might decide he doesn't want to risk more damage to his shoulders or have more surgeries. Couldn't blame him if he felt that way. Frankamp is probably going to graduate and might decide that's enough college for him, although he seems to be enjoying playing the game.

There's also the possibility one of the regular players wants a change of scenery or wants to be closer to home. It will work out and we will never know if it was a coach's decision or a player's decision. We can only hope that it ends well for whoever ends up being the odd man out.

Agree but also possible that Mithaard has transcript issues or immigration issues and has play a year at sunrise.

They are still over, since two are coming in and one is going out.

I might have flunked out in the sixth grade, but that seems like a surplus of 1 schollie to me!

It's not your math, but me thinks perhaps your facts that constitute the difference. When they signed Samajae Haynes-Jones to a NLI they announced it was a conditional letter of intent. I therefore assumed that he has walk-on status the first year and may have a scholarship the second year. Ergo, if so, if we sign one more, only one more needs to leave.

There is no such thing as a conditional letter of intent, so I'm not sure where you're getting that. SHJ and AM both signed National Letters of Intent, and will be scholarship players at WSU. SHJ will certainly not be walking on, and neither will AM. He did initially give a verbal commitment, which was followed up later by signing the National Letter of Intent.

Perhaps @Fred Marrs: has some inside info that the rest of us are not privy to.

In this article Paul Suellentrop reported that "Haynes-Jones' commitment takes WSU's available scholarship." This was prior to signing his LOI.

Here is the Eagle article announcing his LOI signing. Nothing in there about a conditional letter of intent.

Here is the Goshockers.com announcement of his LOI signing. Again nothing about a conditional LOI signing.

Looked at several other sources and just can't find what @Fred Marrs: is claiming regarding a conditional LOI. Fred perhaps you can help me out here with a link to substantiate your claim.

All indications are that SHJ will be on scholarship at Wichita State including the fact he was being recruited by Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, East Tennessee State and Robert Morris. That doesn't exactly sound like a walk-on to me but I suppose it is possible. Just can't find any basis to think that is the case.

I said it was announced, I.E. By the university when they announced the signing. The signing of a national letter-of-intent, is a legal contract recognized by the NCAA that designates the individual will attend that University. I doubt the NCAA designates all the legal terms between the two Contracting parties. But since you definitely State there's no such thing as a conditional letter of intent, I will defer to your legal judgement. Perhaps you can ask the university what they meant by a conditional letter of intent, if they will tell you.

As @1972Shocker: stated, not sure what you're referencing.

[Aargh]

Maybe the condition is that SHJ has to qualify to transfer to and attend a D1 school. That's pretty much a condition of all LOI's.

Although from the 2006-07 year, this is a good representation of the NLI

Follow it overseas — Wichita State recruit Asbjorn Midtgaard is a newcomer to March Madness.

He is catching on quickly and plans to watch the Shockers in Denmark.

“The first time I watched NCAA basketball, was last year’s final,” he wrote in a text message. “A pretty good introduction if you ask me. The tournament overall is some of the most intense basketball I have ever seen. Can’t WAIT to try it.”

Midtgaard (6-foot-10, 242 pounds) signed with WSU in November. He averages 8.6 points and 6.8 rebounds for the 79ers, a Danish club. He scored 12 points and eight rebounds in Saturday’s 95-50 win over the Stevnsgade Supermen.

Midtgaard isn’t preparing a watch party for the Shockers.

“NCAA is not a big deal here, only in the basketball community,” he wrote. “I’m gonna follow WSU all the way to the championship.”

Don't think we'll ever find out how tall he really is!

If this guy can give us 5-10 quality minutes playing defense next
year and rebounding well our ceiling just gets higher. If he is
even better than that.........look out. Combine that with a
healthy AR backing up LS and CF. Can't wait.

Don't forget that even the person at the bottom of the bench contributes every day in scouting and practice. Even if the Great Dane only averages 5 minutes, he'll give each and every player on the team an opportunity to play against and prepare for size. Personally I think that could be just as or more important than the minutes he plays his first year.
