Conner Frankamp (Kansas Transfer, Wichita State Commit)

[Aargh]

Frankamp would be a better fit at CU than at WSU. His game fits McDermott's game better than it fits Marshall's. I don't know how Boyle, at Colorado, plays, but if he plays like Turgeon, who he coached with at WSU, then Frankamp's game could fit there as well.

I don't see a way he can pick WSU, unless he's willing to pay his own way for a year and a half. WSU has 2 using the last of their eligibility this year and 4 signed for next year. A couple of RS Jr's will graduate in spring and may choose to leave WSU (Baker to the NBA, and Wessel to real life). There simply isn't any scholarship room for Frankamp at WSU until 2016-'17. He has to pay second semester this year no matter where he goes, unless he finds a school that had an open scholarship at the beginning of the year. Scholarships are for a year, not broken down by semesters.

Now that signing day has come, WSU has officially oversigned by two for next year. This comes after oversigning each of the last two years as well. Marshall apparently has the ethics of your typical SEC football coach.

[CURx]

I sort of get the concept of over signing for football with all of the injuries and academic issues (particularly in the SEC) when there are 20 scholly's to give every year. But how does a coach adjust for basketball which doesn't have near the number of flux as football does? I guess I see one year over signing by 1 or 2 if there is a question mark, but 2 years in a row by 2? What does he tell the kids if they all show up and all qualify?

[Duke1Agn]

They are probably assuming one or more won't qualify, and will do a year of prep school?

That or they are confident both Baker and Van Vleet are gone after this season.

Let's give Conner a big BlueJay welcome at the C-Link. Hope you have a great time Conner. Love to see you next year as a Jay!

I'm sure the atmosphere is going to be great at the CenturyLink tonight, at least before we run away. Hopefully he comes away really impressed by our facilities, our players, our coaches, and our fans. If his unofficial is like other players he'll get a tour of campus and of a bit of Omaha, too. I have my fingers crossed that all in all he has a fantastic visit, maybe even verbally committing before he heads home.

Hope Conner enjoyed the game. Over 18,000 had a great time.

Fairly boring game when CU gets off to a 19-3 lead. He was reading his phone a lot. Girlfriend was there and seemed to bring one of her friends too. Patton was down there but they didn't seem to interact.

Besides this one update, any other news from the Frankamp visit?

[hilltopalum]

Was not there last night, not planning on staying with weather. He will be back this week. He's really enjoying what Creighton offers.
