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.

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.

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.

Well, if there's any time to implement this strategy, it's now due to our depth.

Angel still having three years is really going to allow us to be flexible with our roster the next few years.

The thing is, we've got around 15 reported scolly offers for the class  of  '14, every single 1 of those prospects is ranked in either the Top 100 or 150 of some recruiting service.

As of right now, 3 scollys available for that class, looks like we're swinging for the fences.  :crossfingers:

I feel like Texas is probably a better bet for DITR recruiting than Illinois, if anything a lot of Illinois talent is over-hyped.  oscar's few out-of-state recruits at IL were exclusively DITR-types.  Chester and Mike Davis worked out more or less.  Rich Semrau and C.J.

I believe this is the approach many around here advocated with Frank after it became clear he wasn't landing any more Beasley/Walker types. Or even McGruder/Judge types. However, he kept taking flyers on ridiculous transfers. I didn't mind the D1 kids that needed a change of scenery because he hit home runs with Clemente and Kelly, but the fridge JUCO kids were annoying. I hope oscar doesn't try to go that route and continues landing 3 star types, hopefully most are Top 150 guys. I'd hope we can land some 4 star kids once in a while as well. IMHO you can win that way if you build the right mentality into your program.

With oscar, I don't think the highs will be as high, but I don't think the lows will be as low.  I think, on average, it will be a steady stream of 100-200 ranked kids.

I'm interested to see what happens with the 2014 class.  This isn't a bad class, all things considered, when they've been working on relationships with these kids for five months or less.  Unless you're one of a handful of coaches, you won't just step into a non-traditional powerhouse and recruit a high four-star or five-star kid without laying the groundwork on a relationship (or that's my belief, anyway).

UW pointed out that we're really swinging for the fences in 2014.  My guess is that for 2012, oscar took what he could get, for 2013, they tried to get some "good", and in 2014, they're going for "great".

This was kind a strategic class, IMO.  Two Texas kids (one from the Metroplex, one from Houston), one from Indiana (where we seem to be hitting it hard), and we're hitting the prep schools with Atewe and Patterson (who has Indiana ties).  It may not have been designed that way, but it seems to be working out that way.

why not just say steady stream of 1-200 ranked kids? it would make oscar and the staff look even better and wouldn't be any more factually inaccurate than saying 100-200 when he still hasn't landed a top150. food for thought pan.

He's top 150 on ESPN, and Bossi said both Foster and Westicles were just out of the Rivals 150, which leads me to believe they were at least in the next 50.

I am pleased with Iwandu, given the review from Bossi.  Weber deserves credit for getting him, IMO.  He's 150 ESPN and Bossi says he's very close to 150 Rivals. 

Now, I expect at least one more in this class with a similar evaluation, and two more for 2014.  That's my expectation....two per year.

Hey guys, I'm all for the positive EMAW but I don't know where the "Westicles is in the ESPN Top 150" talk started but, unfortunately it's not true.

ESPN doesn't even rank players up to 150, they stop at 100.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/order/true


Westicles's "75" ranking might put him on the fringe if they extended their rankings to 150 but it's tough to say.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/school/_/id/2306


Bossi's comments about his versatility and upside are encouraging. I am hoping for the best.

a big 12 program, signing randomly from a pool of big 12 recruits, would have a 3.8% chance of signing five consecutive recruits unranked by rivals.

Someone should label all future recruiting updates with a Rank Above Replacement metric. It would really help me out.   TIA
