So it's slow… So of course there's weird rankings and stuff. So here's one. Coaches ranking from the Power 5 Conferences. CML is #39 out of 66 coaches. Seems odd when you look at whom is ahead or behind any given coach, let alone CML. And obviously this isn't "scientific". But I will take comfort that they have CML ahead of Sark.

Coach rankings.

WSU Rowing is ranked in the Top -10 Nationally!!!! Way to go Lady Cougs!!!!

I'm usually not a big fan of spring signings because the cupboard is generally pretty bare by then. However, it looks like Callison and Daniels are at least an upgrade. Hopefully they'll both pan out. Now it would be nice to get one of the bigs.

Fun little piece. I like him!

Roy Manning mic'ed up

Slooooow season. Interesting video, though.

Alrighty… I'll break the proverbial ice. The kid looks solid. His stat's dropped this last year but seems like everything is right, mechanically. We aren't beating anyone out of any significance but this kid is, like I said, solid. He should have more offers, IMHO. His hudl is pretty dang good. Mobile.

Ian Book

The three-star LB from La Habra, Calif., has Wazzu in his top three.

Story

Daniels is the state 4 A player of the year. He is listed as 6'3 but appears to be about 6'1 i hope that i an wrong on this. He appears to be a solid recruit with a lot of developing to do.

Brand X is reporting that the ex Louisville wing will transfer to WSU and Ernie Kent. This has not yet been confirmed

The 7'0 foot juco was said to be visiting this weekend. Did he actually visit and what was the result if he did visit? I have not heard any information on his scheduled visit.

What sad is the newspaper business had changed so much in recent years, but this article is about Bud. You have to admit, there's been some pretty good stories, or articles back in the day. When we had our triple consectutive 10 win seasons, Bud was there and fun to read.

Wishing the best for the Wither's family.

Retiring from the Best Gig ever

For those unaware, WSU has hired their new soccer coach, Todd Shulenberger. He was "associate head coach" at Texas Tech. Last year he helped forward TT to the 3rd round of the tourney. Before that, he was at Missouri where, if you didn't know, Mizzou is crazy good in soccer. Crazy good. Like Top 10 good. Before that, he was at Clemson. This is a great hire, from all I can see. This hire is more proof that Moos is here to hire head coaches for the long term, not allowing us to be looked at as a stepping stone while hiring quality not some weird Diamond in the Rough. Below is his Texas Tech page:

TEXASTECH.COM Todd Shulenberger Bio - Texas Tech ...

Also, he was on Cougar Calls with Moos (with Grinch). You can listen below:

Link below is the presser.

WSU presser on Shulenberger

Took 2 of 3 from both UW and Cal, big series wins. Split the 2 games with Gonzaga, and just railed on NMSU 11-1 last night.

Such a nice turnaround from the absolutely brutal schedule stretch. I heard that 6 freshmen are starting on this team right now, and hopefully Don can figure out if he has any one guy who can settle into that 3rd starting spot or if he'll just play matchups. Pistorese is putting up ridiculous numbers, hopefully I can catch a couple of his starts before the end of the season to watch him throw.

They have a 4 game series with SJSU coming up this week, a team that is currently 9-26, and lost a game 2 weeks ago to Nevada 22-1 and has a number of other embarrassing blowouts on their schedule already. Needless to say, and not to take anyone lightly, this is a much needed cupcake series and hopefully we can get a sweep here to make up some ground on a couple of the other non-conf games that should have been wins.

And looking forward to the rest of Pac12 play, the schedule gets so much more manageable, and getting to .500 in conference play is totally in play if they continue to grind and improve. Pitching has carried this guys, the bats need to come around with more consistency. Utah, Stanford and Arizona have the worst pitching in the league and are still left on the schedule, though Arizona is #1 in offense.

Any chance of making the tournament at this point is a way out longshot, but definitely like the progress the young guys are making.

Thorpe tweeted this article, about Jason Rabedeaux's life and death. For those that don't know, he's a Coug and was an assistant for Kelvin Sampson. Incredibly sad article.

It's a long one but worthy.

Coach Rabedeaux

Will be deciding this week between WSU and South Carolina. Seemed to be pretty high on his recent visit to USC.

Mr. Post and Harrington movin' on up!

Post practice 11th.

Washington State is the fourth program to offer Baldwin Park (Calif.) DL Francisco Perez, joining Vanderbilt, Texas Tech and San Diego State, he announced on Twitter. Perez, a defensive tackle prospect, is listed at 6-foot-5, 301-pounds.

Per King 5, per Sirius interview.

The comparison was to Jamis Winston.

If I am Falk, or the team, I'm pissed.

The references about his picks are the reason if we lose are appropriate.

This is surreal and hilarious all at once.

Woof Wulff?

El Dorado Hills (Calif.) Oak Ridge QB Ian Book has committed to Washington State. Leach has his quarterback. I'll have more shortly.

The best player on u dubs team is leaving. They lose 15.6 pts per game. they also lost an assistant coach.They have done a great job of recruiting but the program may be on very shaky legs.

Off the wall topic but hey... it's slow.

I'm in Dillon this weekend for my son's basketball tournament. Just checking in to the hotel and a kid sees my Coug shirt and says, "Hey, nice shirt." I respond with a quick, "Thanks. You like the Cougs?" Kid answers in the affirmative with a big smile and I say, "sweet."

His shooting shirt says McEndoo on the back so I ask him if his dad played for the Cougs. Again, he says, "Yep!" Even bigger smile on his face now. It's Jasons son. Probably sixth or seventh grade. I wish him well and check in.

Decided to take a quick look at what his dad's up to as I remember he coaches the Cats. Turns out he just took a job with Oklahoma State. He was also one of the most decorated assistant coaches ever at MSU. Here's a link to some of his accomplishments while living in Bozeman.

I did not know he had passed away in September. He was an assistant for five years in Pullman under Kelvin Sampson. Here is a sad story of a man who made a lot of bad choices. Very sad story. He died in Vietnam under suspicious circumstances. Brings to mind a player he coached at WSU, Tony Harris.
