Bishop Carroll walk-ons at Wichita State
Saturday, July 19th, 2008by joanna
It’s obvious that I need to either talk to my co-worker Paul Suellentrop (WSU beat writer who sits right next to me — our chairs bump sometimes — but has been out quite a bit on vacation) or I need to read his blog, shockwaves, more or just read the WSU stories more that run in the paper. The reason: It looks as though Mason Felter, a Bishop Carroll grad, is going to be at WSU along with Brett Steven, as walk-ons.
Which means Brett follows Taylor and Craig to WSU, while Felter follows his dad.
I do want to point out a familiar lament for the City League - -why are there so few City League kids going to be Shockers? The top girls players from the area aren’t going - -Taylor Steven was one of the few, although Heights sent a couple, including Tenia Green and Kelsey Richardson. Kapaun’s Angela Buckner has had the best career there in my decade-plus of covering area high schools.
As for the boys, I still remember when I came to interview in 1996 and I believe it was Darin Williams who decided to head to WSU and it was huuuge news. Maurice Evans then signed as well — before moving on.
So why does WSU not draw the top players from the area? Is everyone really that anxious to get the heck out of here?
Your thoughts welcome.
