Wes Washpun is leaving UT

[9YRPLAN]

since there has been a lot of transfer talk lately...this one might actually make sense depending on how you look at it.

he might have to pay his own way for a year. or maybe we can place him at kirkwood if his family isnt in a position to pay tuition.

we have our starting pg for 3 more years already. however we have played 3 guards at a time with a lot of success. Wes is a truly elite athlete who can guard like crazy. hes not a very good shooter at all but can create and score at the rim...something weve struggled with.

it seems like we have a lot of numbers in the front court but after next year we only have deon, jevon, and the matts in the backcourt. worth a long look in my opinion.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

I thought the same thing when I heard it. He'd be a great backup PG and solid starter if it came to that. I think UNI & Coach Jake would fit him well, however, without a scholarship available I wonder how strongly either side will look into this. My guess is he goes the JUCO route for a year and see what's available to him after a year.

We did not offer him the first time around, correct? Missouri State did, IIRC, I wonder if Lusk will be interested

He can't shoot straight.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Funny, he was often by Cuonzo Martin while Martin was HC at Missouri State, but now is leaving now that Martin is HC @ Tennessee

That's due to Martin being the HC at MSU and then going to UT.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Because of a lack of a better thread, I'll put it here.

Drake has 2 minor contributes transferring out: Welfringer and Smith. They averaged 10 and 8 minutes a game. Still will be interesting to see if Rice will be there next fall.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

welfringer? wtf...he moved to waukee from arizona for his senior year just to be closer to drake.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

dont really need to be shooting straight at the pg position, the kid is as athletic as they come, can leap out of the gym, and great handles, also knows how to get to the hole; something this uni team lacks.

other then Deon, i dont think there is anybody as athletic as wes on this team. maybe aj too.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

I'd welcome Wes with open arms. He was by far the quickest player in the PTL this year.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Sorry if it's been asked/posted somewhere, but I don't see it. Did Wes redshirt this year at Tennessee?

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

No. Hed have 3 to play after next year.

No offense to deon, but they arent on the same planet athletically. Deon is a better player tho. A year of practice under jake would do wonders for wes as hes still pretty raw.
