I think it's a bit telling that Groce didn't make a strong play for him. After all if the rumors are true about CoC NIL they should be able to outbid WKU.

Sharron to Western Kentucky. They must have some serious NIL money because that's not an improvement in program.

From folks inside the program I heard that they wanted Eric but feared they couldn't afford him, which was true. He ended up better on all counts. As regards Sharon they felt they had better talent coming in and coming up from redshirt. They wanted to keep him but were not going to pay much. Personally I hate losing him because I liked his grit. According to the people I talked with he was never assured he would start.

I said before Eric was always going to have a bigger demand than Sharron. There are tons of talented 6' tall guys in the portal. I assume we probably could have matched whatever WKU offered, but preferred spreading the money throughout the roster instead.

Not with the 3 star kid coming in from K-State. Good trade off

Are we sure?

Hard to believe their offer was much larger than ours. He was going to be the starting PG here. Very sad outcome. Wish him the best I guess but this one hurts

Sharron to Western Kentucky Wtf

Behind a paywall so can't read the full article, but thought I'd share. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2026/04/16/exavier-wilson-akron-zips-mens-basketball-ncaa-transfer-portal/89647253007/

Queue complaining about a spring practice that they most likely weren't going to attend anyway 🙄

On IG he goes by Zay but Ex works too!! Love this pick-up - favorite one so far, no time on task but was heavily recruited in HS makes me think he has intangibles like SY

Just the state of the internet nowadays. People will complain about EVERYTHING. It's exhausting.

Some info on Exavier Wilson- K-State’s lone domestic prep signee in the 2025 class, Wilson redshirted his first season with the Wildcats. A consensus three-star prospect, Wilson was ranked as the No. 10 overall player in Missouri by 247Sports. https://www.kstatesports.com/news/2025/9/24/mens-basketball-five-things-to-know-exavier-wilson

With Staveskie and Wilson inbound and Head and Perkins (as far as we know) returning, we look pretty solid in the backcourt. Ideally we would add a wing and/or stretch 4-type.

EX2.5?

👀

Does this count as X3.0?

No, at least not yesterday.

I wonder if Nate Johnson played any part in this? Nice pickup.

Has to be one of the guys Ford was talking about having on campus/personally recruiting.
