Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

I'm not interested in taking a transfer unless it is someone that can really help us, or fill an immediate need next year. If not, I'd rather just try and find another quality HS kid that we can develop for the future.

If I'm not mistaken, UNI was not too interested in Washpun a year ago, so I don't know what would have changed between then and now.

Uni didnt have an open ride and already had 6 kids in the class. They definitely liked him talent-wise.

I really cant think of any immediate needs next year.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

well he would most def help with attacking the rim, we arleady have 8 kids that are more then content with just standing at the 3 point line and chucking up prayers. would love for him to go to kirkwood next year and then come in for 2 solid years. And believe me he WOULD REALLY HELP.

I don't think he was recruited much even before we had gotten commitments from any of those guys.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

That might have been due to the fact that he was struggling academically after his highschool basketball season, but he has certainly turned that around. alot of the big schools were afraid of going after him because of his grades, also if he would have been a more consistent shooter he would of been a top 150rivals player hands down.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

We already have a point guard & ours at least has the potential to shoot. Washpun can't shoot outside of a layup.

I thought we needed people who could slash and make lay ups...not more chuckers.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

A great slasher has really been the thing we haven't had over the past few years. I'm not sold on Wes if we're going to have a guy who can get to the rim a lot he needs to be a better free throw shooter than Wes is

Wes would have a whole year to improve on his shooting form.

you evidently have not. its really not that bad. not much worse than deon's. both of them need to use their lower body more. johnny's shot was ugly as hell when he loaded up but he did a good job of using his legs to elevate and keep his shoulders square.

washpun has a nice midrange game because he elevates so high on short jumpers.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

amen^^^ wes is a hell of a player. wouldnt hurt to take a look.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

I've watched Wes play many times. And if he can get to the hoop and play at the rim, then no need for the 3 point jumper. His midrange can be improved. It's not too hard to help a player improve from 18 ft in. Not too many good point guards sit out by the 3 point line (K. Marshall).

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

amen to that too^^^ Wes > anyother backup point guard we have
