Nick Wiggins a Shocker

Actually, this signing is made possible by the departure of James Anacreon and the opening of that scholarship.

It has been widely speculated that Armstead was a walk-on this year and will be on scholarship next year. That has not been published anywhere and he may in fact pay his own way next year. Why would he leave his scholarship at Oregon to be a walk-on at WSU? Did Altman run off his starting PG and pre-season first team All Pac-12 player?

Mitchell was published as a walk-on. That's a little more understandable for a Wichita kid (even though he was a JUCO AA) to leave his schollie on the table at Ohio and come home.

It has been published that Baker would pay his own way as a freshman and would receive financial aid as a sophomore, but he's a Kansas kid and we were his only D-I scholarship offer other than one of the Dakota State's.

Wessel is on scholarship, but his family are big time Shocker supporters and he was an early committment. Not sure what his status will be.

Hawkins and Henry U are still uncertain as to whether or not they will meet the NCAA clearinghouse requirements. Hawkins has the potential to be a big loss to the Shockers if he doesn't make grades/scores. There are others that can replace him, but he is very talented.

Clear as mud. Wessell and Baker need to be weighing alternative options.

There is still alot of optimism surrounding Baker. He definately flew under the radar playing in western Kansas and not playing AAU ball. Great shooter and b-ball IQ. First team Kansas All-State selection as a senior. Wessel, White, and Baker were all offered the opportunity to RS last year. Only Baker accepted.

Wessel is a high B-Ball IQ guy as well. He's fundamentally sound and athletic. He has things he needs to work on, but is a winner.

I think both are fine so long as they don't expect to start next year.

The coaches have worked out or will work out the scholarship situation. I am confident that the top 13 qualifiers will be on scholarship next year.

I also believe we will add one more.
