Conner Frankamp -- 2013

[1979Shocker]

Does anyone know what college(s), if any, Frankamp's parents attended? A lot of times they follow in their parent's footsteps. Look at Wessel.

[WuDrWu]

His father, I am almost positive, went to WSU, HOWEVER, is a huge KU fan, and I mean HUGE.


Didn't know his mother well enough to find out where she went to school.

Connor's Dad went to Coffeyville Jr College for sure. He played basketball there. I think he went on to Emporia St., but I can't remember for sure. I don't remember him at WSU at all. I might be wrong on the ESU. I think his mom might have gone to ESU also.

Voted the No. 2 overall player in the Wichita area schools by Vype Magazine behind Perry Ellis and above Evan Wessel. Here's the exerpt:

"Frankamp attempted an astounding number of shots in 20 regular season games, 369. The more shots he took and more points he scored, the better North's chances were to win. In Frankamps eight games which he scored 30 or more points, North won six. The Redskins won just one game with Frankamp scoring fewer than 30 points. His 27 points per game led the City League, and his 52 points in the double-overtime game against Northwest set a single-game league record. Frankamp shot 46% from the field, including 44% from three point range, and 89% from the free throw line. He made five or more three pointers in eight games."

Connor........ Can you say "Home town hero?" Think about it........

[another shocker]

Frankamp made five or more three pointers in eight games? :shock:

Conner will indeed play Major Colloge BB and I hope he decides to be a Shocker. I like his game. I like it alot.

Is there any prelimminary thought on who he "likes" as a college? Is he a KU or KSU kid? Is he a Shocker kid? Does he want to leave Kansas? Just curious.

[tropicalshox]

That's been discussed some. He goes to most, if not all of our games as it's been said he is a season ticket holder. Some think his father is a big KU guy. Up in the air where his Dad went to school. I don't think we have any info from Conner about his desires. There has probably been more doubters about him going to WSU than believers.

[BioShock]

Not that this means much but Conner Frankamp sits two rows in front of me at Shocker games. He was at almost every game last year and has been to a few this year.

Anxious to see if he's there tonight.



:wsu_posters:

We must sit pretty close then cause he's usually about 4 rows down from me. He definitely attends a lot of WSU games, which is more than can be said for most recruits

Coach Frankamp was my gym teacher and the bball coach at pleasant valley, around 13 years ago. He loved bball, was obsessed with it, used to shoot around when he had free time in the gym, had a sweet shot from 3. He used to get insanely angry as a coach, snapped a few white boards that I saw. So I don't think Connor would be the type of kid who comes into a D1 program acting like a prima donna, if his father even put half the yelling he did into him, that he did as a coach to middle school kids.

And if I can remember right, Coach is a huge KU fan.

I am sorry you had it so rough

Thanks for posting.

On the one hand, what else are you going to say about a marginally athletic 6-1 SG.

On the other, he's definately a player and someone that would have a nice career at WSU!
