David Wingett, 2018 SF/PF to Memphis

[Wuzee]

WSU has apparently been in contact with David Wingett, a 6-7 forward from Winnebago, NE, who will be attending Charlotte Basketball Academy for a prep school year next season. Wingett is in the Top 5 all-time career scoring leaders in Nebraska and just dropped 42 points with 15 rebounds and 4 assists in a regional All-Star basketball game.

For his senior season, he averaged 24.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.9 steals. Played for Chauncy Billups Elite in AAU.

Kind of sounds like a 6-7 post version of Austin Reaves, from reports. Handles the ball, has range out to three, likes to dunk. He's slight of build and thus had been contacted only by Summit League-level schools. One article says UNC-Greensboro, UNC-Asheville and Wake Forest joined WSU in contacting him after he announced a prep school year.

Please sign this kid... He has that Ron Baker , Austin Reaves look and feel about him

He put up 40 against Omaha Central and Poor Bear. That's fairly impressive

[Boss1786]

Definitely a lot of offensive potential. Has anyone found any AAU stats?... I am curious how he is doing against elevated competition?

His own coach says he has to work on defense and was not challenged due to inferior competition.

I think more questions than answers right now but definitely worth staying in contact and watch his progression. Let us not forget how that combination did not work for EH.

His hometown has a population of 776 and is about halfway between Omaha and Sioux City, IA - maybe 60 miles north of Omaha. That makes his high school tiny compared to Scott City. Comparing his HS competition to Dean Wade's would be more appropriate.

[WSUwatcher]

Dean Wade is taller, but if this kid turns out to be Nebraska's answer to Wade, he has a chance to be a nice addition.

[another shocker]

he acts like a hot dog. that doesn't fit in with the marshall sysytem.

I noticed that too. Kinda lame.

Edit: I noticed the last dunk on his dunk highlights. He purposefully puts his feet on the kids shoulders and sits on him. This kid looks like a punk. No way theat BS passes with HCGM.

Looks like a FGCU recruit.

Play better defense if you don't want balls on your neck.

EH never demonstrated anywhere close to the offensive skill and ball handling this kid does. My only question is can he shoot. A lot of dunks over 5'10" kids.

EO & EH are two different guys

Indeed. Misread that.
