“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

The question I have for next year in regard to Jake is can he replace what Gabe brought to the team? I understand they don't play the same style.
Gabe was primarily a low post player and didn't have much range. He was a high energy player and could rebound, both offensively and defensively. He was also solid on defense. He wasn't really considered a big scoring threat.
Jake appears to be a versitile scorer. He has a reasonable low post game, but unlike Gabe can venture out and make shots from the arc. He is not as athletic as Gabe, but appears to work with what he has to board like a machine. I think he averaged around 12 per game. The question mark here is can he consistently defend the 4?
Nothing against JT, but Hall will replace his contribution on the floor.Comment

Jake indeed impressed me with that many bounds. I just wonder if he will be able to step up into a rotation in a solid way as a Frosh? I certainly hope so because we are losing 2 starters and a key sub defender in Ellis at the 4 and 5 positions.Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.Comment

Jake will contribute. How much is the question... As a Frosh, he'll give us enough to help Stutz/Ehimen/Hall.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

Stutz was a trooper in the OT period yesterday. Earlier in the game, a VT player was pushing him back, 20' from the basket. No foul was called so we can't have that. Then there was his interception pass 25' from the basket. Rags soon thereafter corrected that issue. However, 7 points in the OT was huge. Their stingy zone was preventing us from utilizing our bigs inside as much as we would have liked. However, JT fouls out and here come Mr. Stutz and we did not skip a beat.
Jake indeed should help as a Freshman. Coach Marshall still expresses his concerns for Stutz to keep improving on defense. I think Jake will be ahead of the curve with his offense and hopefully he will learn the D needed at this higher level. With our Coach, the D. becomes huge on minutes played per player. Look for Mr. Stutz to have his best Season as a Senior. I want him to get even tougher and meaner and play solid defense without fouling out. We will need him on the floor. Coach Marshall has expressed that EO (Twin Towers) is coming along nicely and will challenge Stutz the Clutch (Tulsa Game) for minutes played. Something tells me that we need to consider signing one more big for next Season.Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.Comment

He can and will to both questions. I don't feel the comparison to Blair is fair because they play different. I thought the previous comparison to Jake Koch (UNI) was a better comparison, except, I think, Jake White has more offense than Koch. He is a player with a nonstop motor and some height, and seems to have a good BB IQ.Originally posted by Ricardo del RioComment

But Jake Koch isn't a senior at Wichita State. It doens't matter that they have different games. They play the same position. My comparison was can Jake White, in essence, replace Blair. White brings much more offense to the table than Blair. He seems to have a nose for the ball when a shot goes up, as his 12 rebounds per game shows. Blair provides great flexibility on defense, which will be the big question for White.Originally posted by Snapshot9Comment

I could be wrong, but comparisons in the past have referred to ADAM Koch, not little brother Jake.
Needless to say Adam's motor runs at a little more vigorous pace.Comment

Jake was a legacy recruit, just like the 54 Korvers that came after Kyle.Originally posted by WuDrWuComment
