2018 Recruiting: All You Need To Know

[shockmonster]

It's interesting that our coaching staff views Lathon a little lower than Kountz and some other guards. We haven't offered him yet and we've offered lots of others.

[ShanShock]

If any D1 teams are recruiting him currently then it's in the very early stages. I haven't seen a list or any type of mentions except for that many believe he will play at the Division 1 level. Courtside Films put together a couple highlights on Ben from yesterday. https://twitter.com/CourtsideFilms/s...99323960045573

What a great player from just up the road!!!

New highlights:
Israel Barnes - http://www.scout.com/college/basketb...-israel-barnes

Its very strange to me that we have not offered Barnes yet. There must be something the coaches don't like about him or they don't think he "fits" WSU's system. I can't see another reason not to try and grab a very talented local kid.

I think they simply want other guys more. I would say our biggest priorities at 2-guard are Daylen Kountz and Khaleem Bennett.

Bad news, LOL, I got the information I needed late last night. It looks like, barring an act of God that I will be there. Downtown Shocker Brown, it looks like you will get your scouting report. Ohio Red leads off at 8:00 A.M. On Saturday.

I think we will get several campus visits out of this with some future commits.

I'm gonna pull a Negrodomus (chappelle show reference) I think this next huge 7 scholarship class will be so huge... Everyone in Wichita will crap their pants...3G is the next big time coach. As much as we **** on John Calipari... Even he built some big time programs before going blue blood... He got screwed his fair share of tourny games...Had to earn the refs resPect ( ref ESPN 30 for 30) just saying Gregg is still not finished doing big things here... Dude never ceases to amaze me

I really like Kopp. If we can get him and Thamba, I'll be really happy.

First, I want to give @shocks02: a big kudos for this and the 2019 threads. It takes a lot of time as I know from doing it just one year and I'm sure @tropicalshox: knows from a number of years.

To the Mods. Can we sticky both of these threads?

To shock02. May I suggest that you link the potential recruits' names on the first page to their own thread if they have one?

Much thanks again. :applouse: :wsu_posters:

Links are up. And yes, this probably needs a sticky too.

I will be posting stats tomorrow night so be prepared. Over two dozen recruits in action tomorrow night and everyone will be playing multiple games on Saturday.

Let's stop targeting guards all together. Basically, let's go full Milwaukee Bucks. My "Need to Know" is that every single starter in 2018 better be taller than 6' 10''. :) BIGS. Are you sure their ain't another Giannis brother floating around?
