New Shocker: Mason Felter

WSU will have three new walk-ons this season – Brett Steven (Bishop Carroll), Mason Felter (Bishop Carroll) and Reggie Britton (Plano, Texas). We got Steven’s story at WSU in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Here’s an attempt to introduce the other two. WSU coaches cannot comment on walk-ons until school starts.

Today: Mason Felter, a 6-foot-7 forward from Wichita. Read More »

All-MVC freshmen

Former WSU guard Matt Braeuer proved he possesses one sharp basketball mind last season when he picked up new coach Gregg Marshall’s system so quickly it impressed coaches. So when Braeuer spoke on KWCH’s Sports Sunday it was must-see stuff for Shocker fans.

Catching up on the Cape

Fun with Hoopedia

Awvee Storey has his own page on Hoopedia. Dave Stallworth does not. Neither does Cleo Littleton or Cheese Johnson. It is up to us to right this wrong. Hoopedia is NBA.com’s version of Wikipedia, where one of two things happen: 1) We come together as a community to write an accurate version of history, or 2) Internet idiots try to punk the rest of us (it’s up to you to determine which approach is more appealing).

Mateychick (6-foot-5, 180 pounds) recently went to the Perfect Game Showcase in Minneapolis, so he may turn into a guy who the Shockers will watch nervously on draft day next spring. Read More »
