The Wichita Shockers have pulled off a major recruiting coup by securing the commitment of Zion Pipkin, a highly sought-after guard with explosive scoring ability. Pipkin, who had offers from several top programs, including Kansas, Texas, and Baylor, chose Wichita State, citing the team’s direction under Head Coach Paul Mills and the chance to make an immediate impact.
Pipkin, known for his lightning-fast speed, excellent ball handling, and sharp shooting from beyond the arc, is regarded as one of the most dynamic players in his class. The Shockers, who have been rebuilding their roster and re-establishing themselves as a force in the American Athletic Conference, see Pipkin as a game-changer.
“Wichita State felt like home from the moment I visited,” Pipkin shared. “Coach Mills and the staff made me feel like I could be a real part of something special here. I’m excited to get to work.”
Pipkin’s decision to join the Shockers over other elite programs sends a strong signal about Wichita State’s commitment to becoming a national contender once again. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating how this talented young guard will help propel the Shockers in the upcoming season.
