It just so happened to be the ultimate fail. Who knew that Baker and VanVleet would bothbbe All-Americans and that Marshall and Thurman wouldn't finish their career at MSU?

BOTH Baker and VanVleet forsake the NBA draft and return to Wichita State. Can I get an AMEN!?!?

Those two are 47-7 in the MVC over the past three seasons and 7-3 in the NCAA Tournament.

VanVleet was helping out Emporia (Kansas) State with a kid's camp. The Emporia State coach buys ice cream for all the kids at the camp if any of the staff can hit a 3/4 court shot at the end of a session. Fred got the kids some ice cream.

Baker made the 12-man Tean USA roster. VanVleet was among the last 4 cut.

One PG is a 30-year old guy who plays profesional international ball (Russia). Another PG is the PG for Maryland. Maryland's coach (Mark Turgeon) is one of the assistant coaches picking the team. Trimble, Maryland's PG, is taller and more athletic than Fred and he hits 41% from 3. He's TO prone. Compared to Fred, he's a TO machine.

5 guys playing international; ball professionally are on the team. They may have been locks before the camp started. In that case, there would have only been 7 roster spots available for college players.

Another thought goes that a lot guys on the team can play 2 positions (like Baker). Fred only plays PG, which could be a limiting factor for selecting a 12-member team.
