Alex Lomax 5'11 4* PG 2018 to Memphis

.As much as I would like WSU to sign Lomax, they have some leverage here.

If they have serious interest from Courtney Ramey, they can put some pressure on Lomax if he is they guy they really want to sign.

Unless Ramey is suddenly about to sign, he isn't likely to provide leverage for anyone.

What?

Unless you have Ramey in the bag, I would call that a bluff

[Shockm]

Patience is our friend on Lomax.

we just need to keep one 'ship in the back pocket for the PG of the future

That’s what I’m saying. If you know Ramey wants to come here, but you really want to sign Lomax, then you can use that to your advantage.That way, you get the guy you really want.

[Dan]

I'd say Ramey is probably more of a longshot than Lomax. If Ramey really wants to sign, we sign Ramey and wish Lomax the best.

[Shock Top]

I agree.

What you don’t want though, is wait for Lomax to sign and he has a good year on the #1 HS team in the country and then for him decide to go elsewhere.

My real overarching point on this, is that it would be good to get Alex to tip his hand a little. Get him committed early if he truly wants to be here. Otherwise, WSU can move on to other targets before they get swallowed up.

Sound the alarm!

Here's to finishing off the day on a good note!

[WheatShock]

It's already been a good day with Chance Moore committing, Lomax committing could make it shocker gameday good.

[wsushockerdude]

I'm feeling good after the Chance signing....let's make it a great day!

He liked my Shocker Nation tweet to him a little while ago, so I guess that's a good sign! :good:

“It’s a great day to be a shocker” just doesn’t do it justice anymore. If A-Lo signs with us what will the ranking of the 2018 recruiting class be?

Not as high as you would think. ALo would really be the only guy on any Top 150 lists. Morris, Erik are close and Chance came into the picture late. Isaiah and Jaime are both more under the radar.

Class rankings don't matter though - to me that would be a fantastic class.
