Summer Update

Hey Warrior fans, yes I know it has been a very LONG time since I last blogged but it has been a very busy summer and I finally found a couple of minutes here to give an update on everything that has been going on. Now I just have to figure out where to start.

Updates on our current team. We are pretty much set for next season with everyone signed up for classes now and ready to go. Many of our guys came back to work summer camp and worked out together each day. It was great to see these guys as many went home for the summer so it has had been a while since we had seen them. Our three incoming freshman were also on campus the week of our camp for registration of fall classes, they also had an opportunity to hang out with the rest of the team and workout as well. This was a great experience for them because while they had met many of the players on their visit to WSU last fall this was their first time to really get to know everyone before they come back for school in August.

Updates on our former players. We had a former player get married a couple of weeks back when Travis Whipple tied the knot. It was a wonderful wedding and reception also many of the former players and current players were in attendance for it so it was a little bit of a reunion party. The one great thing many people do not realize about our team is the relationships that were made on the basketball court carry on well past basketball. It was great to see how teammates of the past still keep up on each other and really take interest in supporting other teammates. Also it is great to see how past players go out of there way to talk to current players to catch up with what they are doing and maybe give them a little advice. It was a wonderful day that is for sure.
On to other alumni updates Jonte' Flowers has signed a contract to play basketball over in the top basketball league in France. The team he is going to play for is JA-Vichy. Do not know much about the team yet but here once everything settles down I will be able to give more information for people. Here is the link to the teams website: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.ja-vichy.com/&ei=OCJVSpDyJYeeMLTEwLcB&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.ja-vichy.com/%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

Updates on recruiting. Due to NCAA rules I cannot say much other then we are out watching many great players. We have seen some players we would love to have wear the Warrior uniform and we will continue to watch for others over the next couple of weeks. Trips to watch players play include going to Milwaukee (twice), Chicago, the Twin Cities, Kansas City and who knows where else it might take us. I must admit I really enjoy this time of year even though the travel can get long, seeing so many kids out there playing the game of basketball with excitement and desire is fun to watch.

Well that is all for now, don't worry I will begin to update this more as we close in on another season. Only 6 weeks until everyone is back at school so summer is coming to an end fast.

GO WARRIORS!!!!
