Of their six losses this year:
1pt to Notre Dame
1pt to Cincinnati
2pts to Temple
5pts to SMU
8pts to Oklahoma
14pts to Houston
They don't have a fives star starter or have they ever had one.

Wichita State’s basketball success not built on nationally known recruits

Wichita State — in the tournament for the sixth straight season under Coach Gregg Marshall — has built its success on players who weren’t well known coming out of high school. This bunch is no different.

Wichita State has only one player who was considered a Top 100 prospect coming out of high school — Conner Frankamp — and he originally signed with Kansas. Of the seven other Shockers with 247Sports composite rankings as high schoolers, only two -- Markis McDuffie and Landry Shamet — were considered Top 250 recruits nationally.

McDuffie was the No. 130 overall recruit in the 2015 class, and Shamet — the team’s second-leading scorer — was the No. 174 overall prospect in that group. Every other Shocker was ranked outside the Top 250 in his respective class. C.J. Keyser was No. 254 in 2016, Shaquille Morris was No. 316 in 2013, Eric Hamilton was No. 322 in 2015, Rashard Kelly was No. 339 in 2014 and Rauno Nurger was No. 348 in 2014.

Junior forward Zach Brown has started 29 games this season, but he didn’t have a 247Sports ranking out of high school. Freshman guard Austin Reaves, who plays 11.9 minutes per game, also had no 247Sports ranking.

Key contributors Darral Willis Jr. (No. 11 junior-college player nationally in 2016) and Daishon Smith (the No. 29 junior-college player that year) both came to the Shockers from the juco ranks.
