  3. Robert Franks joins WSU 2015 recruiting class

Robert Franks joins WSU 2015 recruiting class

Yesterday Scout.com's Josh Gershon reported that Robert Franks, a 6-foot-7 forward from Evergreen High in Vancouver has given a verbal commitment to play basketball for Ernie Kent at Washington State. The above video shows Franks making what was certainly one of the most incredible shots in Washington high school basketball last season.

The All-State forward averaged 19 points and eight rebounds last season and was also believed to have a scholarship offer to play for Portland. According to this premium article by Braulio Perez, Franks is expected to be a face-up forward in Kent's system and will guard posts on defense.

Franks is the third member of WSU's 2015 recruiting class, joining Derrien King and Jeff Pollard.
