My only issue with Frankamp is the scholarship situation. I even trust Marshall. I trust Marshall explained the scholarship situation very clearly and Frankamp thought he could deal with whatever it was that Marshall could offer, which may not be a guaranteed scholarship for 2015-'16.
If Frankamp gets a scholarship in 2015-'26, we could end up parking a recruit at Sunrise again. If that happens, it will be November next year (early signing period) before we know if signing Frankamp caused us to lose a current recruit.
As to whether I think Frankamp is a good get, which has also been questioned, I will give a couple of thoughts.
1. I thought Frankamp was overrated coming out of HS
2. I was not surprised by Frankamp's results at KU last year. I was a little surprised at his performance against Stanford. I never did buy into one game trumping an entire season.
3. He's not a PG and may never be a PG. Posters on ShockerNet already have him as the next AA out of WSU, and as the second-best PG in the history of the Valley (behind VanVleet). I will gladly give Frankamp the opportunity to deserves that praise, but I do not award that based on his playing a different position his entire career to this point.
4. He's got Doug McDermott's ability to hit uncanny shots from 3. He's a great shooter, but I don't know if can effectively defend D1 PG's at 6' tall. He will have people simply shooting over him. R'ian Holland is only 6', but that guy can jump out of the gym.
5. I'm glad to see him at WSU, but I'm not proclaiming him GodFrankampGod, which appears to be the only option on ShockerNet. Some poster over there are starting to remind me of posters on phog.net. It's getting a little arrogant.
BTW, Clamdip hasn't lost his bet yet. It will be at least a little over a year before the outcome of that wager cam be known.
Sometimes it is just best to pack up and move on. Your statements regarding #3 and #5 re: SN cannot be backed up unless your meter is so off that you mistake tongue-in-cheek humor for bellicose boasting.
I don't think anyone is buying the martyr shtick.
