While there has been some frustration with Mark Pope's recruiting this offseason, one player that he landed who Big Blue Nation is very excited about is Alex Wilkins. Last season as a true freshman for the Furman Paladins, Wilkins averaged 17.8 points, 4.7 assists, and two rebounds per game. One of his most impressive performances during his true freshman season was in the NCAA Tournament when Furman took on UConn.
