Okay, so if we sign 6 more, my choices would be Serrel Smith, TJ Moss, the best point guard we can find, and 3 more bigs. Who would be the point guard of your choice and 3 names of bigs that we actually have a solid chance to sign?

Flo Thamba is one

Michael Devoe or Tyler Harris at point, Reggie Chaney inside.

[shocks02]

First player I would want is Miller Kopp. He just seems to be a winner who can score the rock. Then some combination of Tyler Harris, Flo Thamba, Erik Stevenson or Daylen Kountz. Seems like all of those players could be attainable. Jason Wade and Reggie Chaney could be great glue guys.

Don't know a lot on the recruitment of these guys but we could be towards the top of their lists; Feron Hunt, Emmitt Matthews, Vincent Williams, Tyrese Samuel, TJ Moss, Morris Udeze, Josh Roberts, Serrel Smith, Diante Wood and Zachary Scott.

Shocks02. I like a lot of your list. I will take a shot at a 7.that stand out with other worthy people that may be just as good.

Nassir Little, Kaden Archie, Miller Koop, Serrel Smith, Valdir Manual, Daylen Kountz, Michael Devoe, Flo Thamba. (Would take Bol Bol since he used to be a close local boy). I cheated and listed 8 here since we have a special way to count at WSU. Also a lot of villains have jumped in on Nassir Litttle.

Others I like very much. TJ Moss, Reggie Chaney, Ian Steere, Tyler Harris, Christian Bishop, Vincent Willams and many others.

Keep shaving coaches and pick off some great new Shockers!!!!

Of the 11 you list at the top (of the 100), which of them do you think we have a chance at actually signing?

Or, put another way, does anybody know which, if any, of those 11 Wichita State is really recruiting heavily? I know 3G has gone on record about never being in a position to actively recruit 5* players so there is always the fact that even though we've offered, we're really targeting some lower level talent.

I don't think Wichita State is really at the top of the list for any of those players currently, for one reason or another. However, I do think there are other players that WSU is recruiting that should be around the Top 100 that we legitimately have a shot at. Players like Miller Kopp, Tyler Harris, TJ Moss or Reggie Chaney.

Have we heard any updates on Kopp? Are we still actively chasing him?

[wufan]

Have we heard any updates on Kopp? Are we still actively chasing him?

It's hard to know, but commitments from Stevenson and Brown would surely lessen his necessity.

[Stickboy46]

Have we heard any updates on Kopp? Are we still actively chasing him?

He's going on multiple visits this week

[Stickboy46]

As of right now WSU has the 11th best recruiting class for 2018 per 247 and ESPN
