Boutte (La.) Hahnville ATH Rickey Preston tells WazzuWatch.com he'll sign with Washington State next month. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound playmaker can play receiver or defensive back at the next level. He'll come to Washington State as a receiver. J.J. Jackson gets the recruiting assists with this one.

In addition to Washington State, Preston, at one point, picked up offers from Nebraska, Southern Miss, Missouri, Tulane, McNeese State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M, Florida State, TCU and several top JUCO colleges.

He didn't sign with anyone due to academics throughout his recruitment, but he says he's on track to be qualified to arrive on campus this summer. Preston, a two-star prospect in the 2015 class, will likely sign a financial aid agreement in a similar way that Jeff Farrar did last cycle. The 2015 signing period ends on April 1, so anytime he signs after that he wouldn't count towards to initial 25 counters in this class, from my understanding.

"He has SEC talent that should resurface in the near future as an impact player for a major program," NOLA.com recruiting analyst James Smith said of Preston, who was named the East MVP of the Louisiana high School Coaches Association (LHSCA) All-Star Game in December. "Although Preston is a bit raw in his craft as a receiver, there is no questioning his ability.

"He has a good build and frame to go with his good speed and quickness. His hands are pretty good, and he shows decent body control. If he continues to work on the small things and further his development, Preston should fit nicely at a Division I program that can utilize his good size and speed. A solid all-around game would be the best way to describe what Preston possesses. He plays with toughness and it allows him to work the middle of the field and hold the edge when blocking."

We'll have more shortly. Here's his highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1715379/rickey-preston

Here's a full breakdown of the Washington State spring roster. I'm hoping to have updated weight changes up tonight, too.

Link: https://washingtonstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1750640

According to Rivals analyst Blair Angulo, Ontario (Calif.) Chaffey College WR Alec Dana picked up an offer from Washington State tonight. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound wide receiver, who picked up an offer from the Cougars after high school, also holds an offer from Utah. He's rated three-stars by Rivals.

Washington State has released its spring roster and the biggest surprise is that former four-star prospect and Texas A&M transfer, Sebastian Larue, is now longer with the program, which was confirmed by WSU SID Bill Stevens. I'll have more soon.

Provo (UT) Timpview OLB Keenan Pili picked up an offer from Coach Salave'a and Washington State today, he tells WW. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound outside linebacker also holds offers from BYU, California, Nevada, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming.

Do you know how the Pac12 picks All Conf Teams?

I know at many levels of football, each team gets to submit "X" amount of players. Then, depending on how many wins a team has in Conf, they are able to submit more of their players.

Usually, a coach can't vote for his player only submit their name.

Whomever doesn't gain enough votes for 1st & 2nd Team gets 3rd Team (HM) Automatically for being submitted by their school/coach.

Anyway you know if that's how the Pac12 does it ???

Sendek is out at ASU. Very little idea how this will affect us if at all. Any opinions?

Washington State has offered San Diego (Calif.) Mission Bay RB Derrick Clark, he announced on Twitter. It's the first offer for the 5-foot-11, 195-pound all-purpose running back.

Washington State has offered Bountiful (Utah) safety Max Tooley tonight...

La Habra (Calif.) OLB Jacob Colacion picked up an offer from Washington State tonight, according to Rivals analyst Adam Gorney. The 6-foot-1, 216-pound outside linebacker received his first two offers from Fresno State and Indiana today.

As WW reported a couple weeks ago, Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) Los Osos OL Cohl Cabral unofficially visited Washington State over the last two days. It slipped my mind previously, but the 6-foot-5, 250-pound offensive tackle posted a picture of his trip on Twitter moments ago.

"Thank you to @Coach_Leach, @CoachKWils, @CoachMcGuireWSU and the rest of the WSU staff for making my visit very special," Cabral tweeted.

Cabral also holds offers from Arizona State, Boise State, California, Fresno State, Kansas, Oregon State, Utah, and Vanderbilt. The Cougars are one of Cabral's top schools. I'm working on figuring out a time to talk to him about his visit.

Washington State is No. 1 right now but his uncle, DeWayne, played at Michigan and if the Wolverines offer then that would be the team to beat.

Story

Says Washington State is definitely the frontrunner right now.

Story

Unless I missed it, Jarrail Jackson's move to Davidson has not been mentioned here. Anyone have any speculation as to what, if any, impact on the program this will have? Or who would be his replacement. I have next to no idea as to his importance to the staff other than he was one of those chosen to step in temporarily for the displaced staff during last year's late recruiting efforts.

Rio Rancho (NM) three-star offensive tackle Henry Hattis picked up an offer from Washington State on Monday and could visit soon...

https://www.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1749966

San Angelo (TX) Central QB Brennen Wooten picked up an offer from Washington State today, he announced on Twitter. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound dual-threat quarterback is currently committed to TCU, whom he verbally committed to in July of last year.

In addition to Washington State and TCU, the three-star signal caller holds offers from Akron, Boise State, Houston, Kentucky, Rice and Tulsa. He's ranked the No. 15 dual-threat passer in the 2016 class and the No. 49 overall prospect in Texas.

I'll have more soon, but here's some highlights first: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1526918/brennen-wooten

I saw online last evening photos/depictions of WSU football helmets with the crossed swords and also crossed bones on a what appeared to be a pirate flag. While very cool, I would prefer to keep just the WSU logo alone. It's cool enough on its own!!

Can you handicap who you think the Cougs QB signee will be for this period and why?

Corona (Calif.) Eleanor Roosevelt 2017 CB Thomas Graham, he announced on his Twitter account. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound cornerback is rated four-stars by Rivals and also holds offers from Arizona State, Boise State, California, UCLA, Utah and UW.

You have to wonder why he didn't see more playing time. His disappearance last year was one of the more perplexing things of the season for me.

Washington State has offered, and will receive a visit from, Huntington Beach (Calif.) Saddleback College C Conor Clifford, according to Brad Winton of JUCORecruiting.com. The 7-foot, 265-pound center, who will visit Pullman this week, also holds an offer from UTEP.

Previously a UC-Irvine signee in the 2012 class, Clifford played as a freshman before redshirting in 2013-14. He then transferred to Saddleback to play this season, where he averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game. He'll have two to play two at the next level.

Stats: http://www.cccaasports.org/sports/mbkb/2014-15/players/conorcliffords5bg

Washington State has offered Powell (Wyo.) Northwest College 2015 F Chris Boucher, according to Rivals' Matt Jessen-Howard. The 6-foot-10, 205-pound small forward also holds offers from Idaho State, Memphis, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma State, Pitt, Texas Tech and Utah State.

According to Rivals analyst Adam Gorney, Washington State has offered Downey (Calif.) LB Darrian Franklin. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound outside linebacker is rated four-stars by Rivals (No. 9 OLB) and ranked as the No. 120 overall prospect in the country.

In addition to Washington State, Franklin holds offers from Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA, UNLV, USC, Utah and Washington. He's the No. 21 prospect in California.

Washington State has offered Rio Rancho (N.M.) Cleveland OL Henry Hattis, he announced on Twitter today. The 6-foot-7, 265-pound offensive tackle prospect is rated three-stars by Rivals (No. 42 OT) and also holds offers from New Mexico, New Mexico State and Texas Tech.

It is interesting that some fans tried to say that WSU's record in the PAC 12 was due to a weak league. Well the league is looking strong so far in the Big Dance
