Pierre Couisnard, son of the former Wichita State men’s basketball player PJ Couisnard, will continue a family legacy as a Shocker.
Pierre announced his commitment to Wichita State for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday night via X.
Pierre will join the Shockers next season with his current teammate at the Legacy School of Sport Sciences in Houston, Tyrus Rathan-Mayes. Rathan-Mayes committed to play for Wichita State last September.
PJ, Pierre’s father, is the head coach at Legacy and was a member of Wichita State’s men’s basketball team from 2003-07. PJ averaged 10.4 points on 46.1% shooting for his career as a Shocker. He also averaged 5.4 rebounds per game and swatted 98 shots.
According to an article by The Wichita Eagle, Pierre has spent the last five years battling a patellar fracture and has been cleared to play in his final season of high school basketball.
