'15 MO SG Landry Shamet (Verbal to Wichita State)

[jcatcher]

I'm assuming you have Josh returning for his senior year.

Josh is in the updated 2016 draft on DraftExpress. #54 - Late 2nd Round. XJ is at 57.

I think Josh will make a huge leap in the projections this year and XJ will stay about the same.

Folks afraid he's a Shabazz when they hear that. Plenty of guys who played a big role as freshmen and fit in, though.

Anyway, I'm good with either Shamet or Dorsey.

I understand it to an extent. To be honest, the more I heard about Perkins last year, the less I wanted him, for that very reason. I haven't heard the same things with Dorsey, though, outside of wanting to play PG. I'm just surprised how many don't even seem interested in him.

Plus, we were really planning on a Sweet 16 run last year to fully place us into a "name" destination. With the "one game & out", we're basically BYU right now - only without as much history.

No one, aside from blue bloods, plan on Sweet 16 runs. Too many variables.

Stop making excuses for Boyle. Fire him and get someone in here who is a top gun recruiter!! A-1 Top gun! This staff is incompetent!! Turning in my tickets and burning my degree along with my CU apparel in the front yard tonight. ahhhhh!

:rofl: Excellent imitation of Slider (except for the lack of an fugly icon and some tears) and a a half dozen others here!

Living here and having a graduate degree from WSU, when he decided being a Buff wasn't for him, I am glad he chose to be a Shocker over the other options. The Shox seem to be picking up in recruiting after the last couple years of success.

Definitely picking things up, but just to point out that in Marshall's first recruiting class, he signed a future NBA player in Toure Murry. The number of very successful international professional players that WSU have produced has increased as well. We have guys all over the globe from Spain to Turkey, Japan, Australia, Israel & South America.

Not to mention Cleanthony this last year going to the Knicks. Look for our backcourt to produce some more NBA talent either next draft or in 2 or 3.

Something interesting to point out is WSU's increased recruiting of solid players inside Kansas and in the KC metro area. It started with Garret Stutz, then Ron Baker out of western KS, now Landry Shamet and Tyrone Taylor out of KC metro. I'm sure the Beakers would say "we don't recruit at that level" and KState would just stay silent on it all, but 10 years ago if someone told me we'd be recruiting these Kansas/KCMO kids over KSU and KU I wouldn't believe you. Now if we can just lock up our own city, having Perry Ellis and Frankamp go to KU was lame, and also a kid out of Wichita named Gavin Thurman went to MSU over WSU, but from my understanding we offered and he liked the idea of WSU but didn't make grades and we had other options so we parted ways.

Sorry for the ramblings.

You guys were REALLY close on Perry Ellis too. I think going head to head with one of the top 5 programs in the nation is pretty impressive for where you were at the time.

Of course, you guys have a Final Four more recently than the Beakers, so I expect you to stop losing battles to them now. :lol:
