Well, the name of the guy who committed this morning was actively out there while Dustin said he couldn't ID today's visit. That's a pretty strong indicator they're different players. I think it is promising Eric was there and disappointing and telling Sharron was not. Players I saw were Zach, Marvin, Chabi, Cody Head and two of the 3 red-shirts. I heard that 2 of 3 freshman commits have stayed committed while one decommitted, though I can't identify which. Edited April 15 by clarkwgriswold Quote

That's news. My guess is the two guards stayed committed while the Vegas kid decommitted. Were Perkins & Henderson in attendance? Edited April 15 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
Zippy87 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Henderson posted a video on his IG story a week or so ago working out at our practice facility, so I am assuming he stayed. Quote

Even if the event itself doesn't make program changing money, perhaps the relationship building leads to more premium tickets getting sold or corporate sponsors. I think overall golf outing was happening with Kaulig support but not a bball specific one? Baseball was benefiting from what I know. Quote

Zippy87 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Didn't realize this, but Jay Shunnar is married to Cayleifh Griffin, who works on both the Cavs and T-Wolves TV broadcasts. Never hurts for Akron to get some additional exposure. Quote

Were any other past or current players in attendance? I remember a group of KD's players were at Groce's introductory press conference. I was super bummed at the time and honestly that gave me a little bit of hope. Pretty sure they all transferred lol. 2 Quote
Zips1991 Posted April 16 Report Posted April 16 Are we all back up and running now? Lol seems like the site was down for a while. Anyways, Coach Ford tweeted the Kangaroo GIF again so it appears we got another commitment but I haven't heard any news on who it might be. 2 Quote

Zippy87 Posted April 16 Report Posted April 16 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. 2 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted April 16 Author Report Posted April 16 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 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted April 17 Author Report Posted April 17 Sharron to Western Kentucky. They must have some serious NIL money because that's not an improvement in program. Quote

WKU is a program many around the MAC for years have coveted for expansion, specifically because of the quality of their basketball program, historically. Guessing their NIL is competitive with MAC teams, just a ??? of which positions they want/need to spend it. 3 Quote

Zippy87 Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 (edited) This is where we are projected to be right now. I know someone mentioned one of the freshmen leaving, but until we get verification or see someone officially declare portal entry, I'm going to include them. This would leave us with 3 open roster spots. Returning (9) Barre Halligan MMK Head Perkins Henderson Jones Christion Ladd Incoming (3) Staveskie Burton Wilson Edited April 17 by Zippy87 2 Quote
