clt is pulling for wku. We need a good team in this conference.
Wow, what a soap opera! Guess getting back a top 10 recruit trumps losing a JUCO all-American!
Not sure if Brangers started for WKU during its recent trip to Costa Rica since there don’t seem to be any box scores posted for the three games they played. Anyway, he was their third leading scorer while there, averaging 15.7 ppg while shooting 12 of 28 on 3s.
Unfortunately for the Toppers, seems like academic issues are the reason for his departure.

WBKO.com: WKU guard Brangers no longer enrolled[/quote]
Per Verbal Commits, Brangers returning to South Plains College (Texas), where he played JUCO ball prior to signing with WKU.
In addition, 6-9 C Robinson Idehen has also left WKU, joining another former Hilltopper - Damari Parris of Charlotte - at Trinity Valley CC (Texas).
Apparently he did NOT want to be in Bowling Green after all. Thus ends the Mitchell Robinson collegiate saga.

Bowling Green sports journalist Chad Bishop saw this coming a couple of months ago.
Hopefully we’ll see the same press reaction when we sign Withers !
I look forward to the day when we sign guys like withers and people are not suprised.

WKU signing a five star? Does not pass the smell test.
