David Wingett Receives Offer From Memphis

[olehead]

Was that really necessary? You asked how we know he's Native American, I told you he's from the Winnebago Tribe.

My apologies sir. Tough day at the job, no need to take it out on you.

No problemo. I really wasn't trying to be a d1k even if it may have come off like that.

 

[Fishy]

This kid would be an idiot to not go to Memphis.

Memphis is an awful school with a neophyte head coach who will be showcasing his former AAU players.

Memphis is the first school I’d cross off if I were him.

Wingett's probably going end up being like Adam Morrison haha

 

[Drew]

Well. This is gonna be fun to watch for the next four years.

 

[StunningSteve]

 

[intlzncster]

He's even going for the Morrison 70's flow.

Psyched for the kid, hope he lights it up. Whatever happened to our Nebraska Wingett fans?

 

[Huskyforlife]

I'm so happy about this.

Great video and story. I have to admit, I have a better understanding of the coverage here and elsewhere of Dave Wingett. You cannot help but root for this kid.

 

[Mr. French]

I don’t know exactly how this all happened (well, I do) but this kid might now be a BY fan favorite.

I definitely will root for him aside from UConn implications, strictly due to his mythical status here.

Crazy thing is, he seems like he’s developed into a solid prospect and player.

Where's the original David Wingett guy? I'm totally rooting for the kid and I would love to dig up those original threads after this dude Marco Lokar's someone.

Sounds like the rationale for every lower ranked recruit Ollie had to bring in over the last few years.

Thats just not accurate in this case. This kid can shoot and will be an impact player by his Sophomore or Junior season.

The odds are not in his favor at all. Time will tell. He’s going to a coach who’s never had to polish anyone. Penny coached AAU where he had great talent to work with.

 

[PAHusky]

Are they going to let him play with that helmet on?

 

[superjohn]

Really? I don't ever remember Ollie bringing in a shooter.

 

[UConnStats]

Really? I don't ever remember Ollie bringing in a shooter.

The tweet I quoted doesn’t mention shooting at all. It just claims ‘some people’ see him as top 150. Basically calling him underrated.
