Wes Washpun

The Vols definitely could have used this guy as their point guard. Leading Northern Iowa to the NCAAs and known as a lockdown defender and a scorer. He has definitely been in the weight room since he left UT......or was run off from UT by a coach who didn't think Washpun was good enough to play here.

Happy for the young man for working to make himself a very good player.

Zo...was right then he wasn't.

Yeah! He's definitely improved since being in Knoxville. We didn't give him half the chance though. He did get playing time as a freshman but not really enough time at UT to show what he could do. UNI is sure glad they have him. He can jump out of the gym & very athletic as a PG. UNI will again be a hard out in the NCAA tourney.

When he first got here he was a turnover machine. But might have had best vertical leap to play here when you think about how small he was.

His vertical reminded me of Spud Webb. I believe his vertical was measured at 44" when he came to Knoxille as a freshman.

When people think of vertical leap you think of dunks. But he was swatting big mens shots. Man..... he could get off the floor.
