I think that height is a mis-type. Westicles is 6-foot-5 at best. Lanky, pretty athletic and can shoot a little. Of the KSU commitments, I like him the best now and think he has the most long term upside.

I just spoke with Wesley and he is beyond excited right now. What a fun time to speak to a kid. So many of them are too cool to show excitement.

Westicles just missed the Rivals150 coming out of the summer and is heavily on the watch list. I'm afraid all of us may have overlooked him a bit because we got so fixated on the Harrison twins, then Derrick Griffin and then Johnathan Motley, that's a lot of talent on one summer team so sometimes a guy can slip through the cracks.

I really like this pickup.

WELCOME! You are gonna love it here!

(I can't wait until the day that one of these new commits sends out a #goEMAW instead of just a #EMAW. This place will go rough ridin' nuts.)

Well, we got him. Glad that he wants to be EMAW.

He's long and athletic, and as he noted in his commitment update, he's probably going to be able to bring a lot of versatility on both ends of the floor. When I got to see him play last summer(granted, it was just 1 game) I wasn't blown away with his offensive skill level. I don't want to focus too much on that because he did look and move like a high major player, I think it just means he may not be an immediate impact guy, but, he's got the tools to do something down the road.

Plus, another kid in the TX pipeline, heckuva a lot of players coming from down there these days and Houston area is certainly no exception.

From what I saw this summer, Westicles has good court vision and is a good passer, has a pretty good shoot but needs to extend his range. He has a serious lack of strength and weight and that is about the only thing holding him back, has a ton of potential.

Wish he showed a little better ability to finish attacking the rim, he was getting there alright but wasn't automatic in getting the 2, that's something that can be improved with improved strength, but it's also a skill. He'll have time to work on it.

You don't think being stronger improves a player's ability to finish when driving to the basket and shooting through a defender's contact?

So Wesley and Foster both just missed out on the 150, huh?
 

Westicles quite a bit closer than Foster in my mind. Regardless, here's a link to story I just wrote on him.

I think we are going to have to get used to this strategy, betting on having 4-6 upper classmen every year that have developed.  It's kind of a "mid major" approach, but it seems like it could work, particularly given the steady increase in talent in Texas.
