Conner Frankamp (Kansas Transfer, Wichita State Commit)

Obviously we take him if he wants to be here. However, losing him to WCC would not be a gut punch like McQuaid or Clark.

Not for me given that he is from the area. Makes sense. Can't take that personal.

We cooled on him awhile ago

Meanwhile, GTMO somewhere in Florida right now:

Totally agree here. He has now announced he will be going to WSU and I can't fault him for wanting to go home.

Well, no need to worry about divvying up playing time now. Our need is more on the wing anyway.

Wishing Conner the best. It sucks that he is going to Wichita, but I have no doubt that he made the best decision for himself. Let us move on.

Confirmed that he's headed to Wichita, per Bob Lutz of the Wichita Eagle:

Best of luck to him. On to the next one.

I've seen people referencing Conner's desire to play in his home town. Did Conner say this somewhere? In the Wichita Eagle article, Conner's only quote references Greggggg's ability to coach guys up.

Maybe Wichita just did a better job selling than we did?

Whew, that was close. We'll continue to have better team chemistry. Congrats to the wushockers.

For Christmas, I'm going to get Coach Mac and friends a copy of Glengarry Glen Ross. Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers.

Have I got your attention now? Good. "Cause we're adding a little something to this month's recruiting contest. As you all know first prize is Connor Frankamp. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture?

You want to know what it takes to sell recruits? It takes BRASS B***S to sell recruits. Go and do likewise coaches. Recruit's are out there. You pick them up, they're yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. They're yours. If not you're gonna be shining Gregg Marshall's shoes. And you know what you'll be saying - a bunch of losers sittin' around in a bar. 'Oh yeah. I used to be a coach. It's a tough racket.'

Alot of teams seem to do this better than us......The good news is we have a damn good starting 5 next year in Watson, Zierden, Huff, Hegner and Hanson. Hopefully we can get Thomas or a nice transfer in the spring.
