Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Here is a good example of Washpun's quickness and athletic ability. Check out the block on a break away layup attempt at the 1:12 mark of this video.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Honestly any of the highlight videos there are of Washington last season shows his athleticism. The guy is pretty ridiculous athletically. If you put him and deon on the court together, jake will have no choice but to let em run. His defense is very good and for that I'm surprised Jake didn't have a little more interest the first time around. I just hope his jump shot is a little better by the time he steps on the court than what people say it is right now because he looks like an excellent ball handler and gets to the rim.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

Can we hire one of his family members to get him a release to play next year?

Did anyone see his block against Duke at Maui? It was HUGE! Yes, huge enough for all caps.

The Iowa Barnstormers coach, Jamie...something, tweeted that he chose UNI over a dozen programs. It would be interesting to see if someone could get a response as to what some of those programs were

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

calm down Jeg, we replaced a guard with a guard. I have no problems with that. We're losing a lot with Sonnen and James leaving after this season.

You are aware that for 2013 we are left with 4 true guards right now with Wes right? If we didn't sign a guard we would be hurting for guards BIG TIME.

Re: Wes Washpun is leaving UT

If Wes can develop a jump shot during his redshirt year next year he will be a really good player for us. He's quick and athletic and can get to the rim, he just needs to work on his shot. I'm not talking 40% 3 point shooter either, just good enough to hit the open shots.

he really elevates on his midrange shots but almost shoots a set shot from 3, much like deon. his form isnt terrible, but his release is slow. that being said, he will be able to get by any guard in the MVC especially if he improves his right (weakside) hand.
