The Wichita State add has worked out about as poorly as possible all things considered.
They say a boneyard thread isn’t official without a dumb take, this has sanctified the thread thank you for your work.The Wichita State add has worked out about as poorly as possible all things considered.
Not even remotely true.
I believe this was the first time in Shockers history they were ranked from beginning of the season to the end. Granted, they got upset in the tourney, like a lot of teams, but their monster ratings games with Cincinnati (for the regular season championship) are going to be great for the upcoming television negotiations. It's a long term stock that gives the conference one of the most high profile coaches in college basketball for likely a long time. I don't see the Koch Brothers support waning anytime soon. The Shocks are a legit brand name.
They’ll still be good next year. It’s been 7 years since Marshall didn’t have a top 30 team. Reaves and McDuffie will be very big threats. They’re a lot more consistent than anyone else, so I don’t think we have the right to complain.We knew they were going to have a good team this year when we added them. That was one of the main reasons we added them. They finished 8th on KenPom last year, returned basically all their players, and then finished 20th this year. Now they'll lose their three leading scorers, including a game-changing point guard with two years of eligibility who some thought would be the heir to the Baker/van Vleet throne.
I'm not even questioning the decision to add them. I'm saying this is the worst case scenario for what we could have expected from that move, short-term, at the beginning.

wichita will be fine, they like to recruit 3-4 stars with potential because Gregg Marshall has such a knack for detecting talent. no need for big time, big name recruits for them
Cesspool alert.Why don't we have Koch money?
Ironically, you are a tremendous optimist.The Wichita State add has worked out about as poorly as possible . . .
