By Paul Suellentrop

Forward DeAntoni Gordon gave Wichita State’s men’s basketball program a non-binding commitment on Wednesday.

Gordon (6-foot-8, 175 pounds) is a junior-to-be at LeFlore Preparatory Academy in Mobile, Ala. He plays for the Alabama Fusion EYBL team.

He said he will visit WSU this summer. His relationship with assistant coach Isaac Brown played a major role in his decision. Brown is well-known in the area after spending five seasons at South Alabama in Mobile and played high school basketball at Pascagoula (Miss.) High, about 40 miles from Mobile.

“I felt comfortable with Coach Brown, him being from the area,” Gordon said.

Gordon also said Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference played a role in his decision because of the competition in that conference.

Obviously a 10th grader could change his mind a thousand times in the next two years. But regardless of where he eventually ends up, this announcement shows that high-school kids (at least, the ones who hope to get to college on a basketball scholarship) are aware of the Wichita/AAC deal and consider it positive.

Interesting fact: I believe it's something like 16 years in a row that WSU has had a player from Houson on the squad. Zach Brown is the current one. This year might be the end of the run.
