Wichita State WBB - Miscellaneous

[WuDrWu]

People make mistakes, I make tons of mistakes, I get that and I can live with that.

First, what's the rule there. Did the coach ask for a review? There didn't seem to be a lot of doubt from the official that made the call...can the officials check themselves anytime they want? (I really don't know).

But then they reversed the call. An action that's supposed to take a lot of proof that you were wrong in the first place. It's not like "Hey we don't know who's ball it is, let's go to the video tape". The official said WSU ball. No reasonable human can say it was off WSU.

Also, I can buy the PBP and color guy wanted to get out of there timely, or were PSU grads, but they watched the same thing you and I watched...and that one view CLEARLY CONFIRMED the call was correct....yet the PBP guy says "THEY GOT IT RIGHT"....WTF???!!! Something stinks, or else it's a really, really odd combination of circumstances, all going against WSU at an extremely inopportune time.

Tennessee will be a whole different story. The perennial powerhouse will no doubt be a very difficult challenge for the Lady Shocks.

In particular the Lady Vols will have a big size advantage.

But this is the kind of opportunity the Shockers need to measure where they are as a program.

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but the Vols are returning this year's game to the Chuck in 2015-16.

Sure hope a ton of fans will attend.

Lockerroom renovations.

Lockerroom renovations.

I like the way the incorporated the bottom of the video board in the locker area. All-in-all a very nice job. Certainly can't hurt recruiting.

The men have announced their NLI signees; have the women?

Not to my knowledge.

I know there have been rumors, but I wonder if we have any?

Elle Lehne, 6-2 F was a verbal commitment.

Wichita South G Ericka Mattingly has also committed by she I Class of 2016 and won't sign till next year.

I don't know if there is any possibility for Ashlee Ivy to get her grades right and still play two more years beginning next year or not.

Maybe in the coming weeks we'll hear something or have late signees, I hope. Bonner didn't go on AZ trip and has been out all week with a concussion; I don't know if she'll be ready for Saturday. My sources say our top players have been living in Jody's "Dog House." I think it's time to play games and get some wins.

Let me know when at least one of the players is not in Jody's doghouse and you will have some news.

We only have between now and November 19th to sign players this fall (the early signing period). The next opportunity would be next springs regular singing period from April 15th through May 20th.

If Elle Lehne doesn't sign by next Wednesday then I think you would have to say her recruitment is on pretty thin ice at best.

Obviously recruiting a good class for next year is pretty important considering we are losing our 3 best players including one of the best, if not the best player, to ever play for the Lady Shocks and we only have 8 scholarship players coming back assuming everybody returns.

Presently, doesn't look very promising.

Not that I'm pushing the panic button, but I believe in past years by this time we were announcing our highly ranked recruiting class. With Jody signing an extension to her contract, I'd think she would be reloading. If she didn't sign, I'd understand zero recruits. KU, K-State are all announcing signings. Oh well, more importantly we need Bonner for Saturday and our bench to contribute.

We will see what happens. A lot of coaches will not announce their signings until they have all anticipated LOI's signed and delivered. Maybe that's the case here or maybe we don't have any early signings. If that's the case then we will have to see what the spring signing period will bring, but it has been my impression that the talent that signs in he Fall is usually better as a whole than the talent that signs in he Spring. I would not give up hope for the Fall just yet although I have no inside information.

Thanks. I googled Elle Lehne but did not get anything recent. I have always seen her listed as Elle Lehne didn't stop to think that my have been wrong.

In any case welcome to Shocker Nation Ellie. Ellie looks like she could be a good replacement for Kelsey Jacobs.

Since the Shockers have not announced Ellie's signing yet that may imply more to come?????????????
