A source in Australia says Isaac Humphries remains a possibility to reclassify to 2015. WSU high on his list, 15 or 16.

Turns out Morris was playing with torn cartilage and a displaced kneecap in one knee. He's had surgery to correct both and is already reporting that it feels better when he jumps and he feels he's got a better vertical now.

Morris is the first Shocker to make the All-Valley Fr team since Toure Murry. He did that playing through an injury that required surgery after the season was over.

The knee may have been a factor with conditioning work. This year, Morris will likely be in better condition, quicker, more agile, better vertical, and some other pluses from a repaired knee. Morris will be a quicker, better conditioned, better ups, 6'7", 260 lb. PF next year.

Grady was a 14 and 8 guy in the Horizon League. He will have better guards to work with, so his Horizon stats may hold in the MVC because cheating off of VanVleet, Baker, or We4ssel is playing with fire. Grady was on the All_D Horizon team.

Shox may have 5 all-MVC candidates next year.

With Lynch and Knight gone, I don't see anything other than 18-0 for the Shox next year. My prediction the last two years was 16-2. I do not have a history of blowing smoke.

The Fr class looks like the best Marshall has ever had. VanVleet and Baker turned out to be a lot better than they looked when they were incoming Fr. I'm not claiming this Fr class has better players than those guys. 2 top-100's, a top-40 trfr from KU who will be a Soph eligible December 12, a top-150, and a 6'9" guy recruited by 4 of the 5 power conferences who took a prep year to work on his handles. Eric Hamilton has a decent % from 3 and can drive from the perimeter. He was a 14 and 8 guy against mainly JuCo teams in his prep year.
