Boy, glad we didn't schedule any more games with ISU, seeing as though they would only grant his release to teams not on their future schedules or to another Big 12 team. Would have 3 years left to play 2.
Sophomore year averages: 12.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 33% from 3pt range, 1.4 assists per game, and 0.9 steals per game. Those stats are a little higher than his stats from his freshman year, though he did average almost 8 rpg and better than a block per game as a frosh. His point stats are a bit misleading though, as midseason it looks like he was getting 20 ppg on a pretty consistent basis against some good teams (Kansas x2, Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Alabama, Mizzou), but his production really went down as the team tanked near the end of the season (ISU lost 12 of their last 14 games last year). Wesley played 38 of 40 minutes when they visited the Schott his freshman season (against Oden & Co.). His stats from the game: 10 pts (4-11 fg, 2-5 3pt), 8 rebs, 2 blks, 1 ast. Not bad.
Anytime you can get a 6'7" forward with proven production at this level against the competition he faced in the Big 12, you take him and run with it. Wes would be a real asset to any of those teams. I hope we can aquire his services!
