Wichita State landed a kid who is under the radar...
Of all the kids Wichita is linked with, he's really the most obscure and minimally rated...
His name is Tekele Cotton...a 6-1, 165lb guard from Georgia.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Tekele-Cotton-87810

He averages 29% on 3-pointers and 61% on FT's...and 12ppg, 5apg, 6 rpg overall.

Some Shocker fans are puzzled and underwhelmed...

Not a flashy offensive player perhaps, and definitely under the radar, so some aren't yet impressed. Time will tell, but just starting to get a sense of the young man and I'm liking the vibe.

Also, yet to be confirmed, but ebossi reporting Jake White has given verbal to WSU, he's currently listed as 6' 8" 215 lbs PF, 3 stars and 90 rating ESPN.

Admin note: In my effort to create a new thread for Jake White, I accidentally lost the original post above made by shockalot. So, I reposted his comment located within the "quotes".

This one caught everyone by surprise, and although he fills a stat sheet pretty well, I am somewhat disappointed with his shooting percentages. A guard that can not shoot is only half a guard to me.

He doesn't seem to quite measure up to the new emerging standards for new recruits for the Shockers, and I get a little deja vu back to the Kenny Manigault days.

I am just in a wait-n-see mode on him.

Royal just beat me to it and is correct. At least from what we've been told.

Wasn't there a Cotton that played for HCGM at Winthrop?
