That 3 of the upper level recruits in this class chose SDSU, SJSU and a "blue shirt" at USC over ML throws a bucket of cold water on this class.

The refs didn't do them any favors but neither did falling behind by 16 or whatever it was in the first half. Good comeback but they dropped one Cal was begging WSU to take. Tough going without Dheensaw in the middle. Cooks is tough and battles but gives up a lot of length in the middle.

There's the cherry on top.

LIVE BLOG UPDATES
8:30 p.m. —— Moultrie (Ga.) Colquitt County running back / receiver Sihiem King committed to Kentucky on Tuesday night. The speedster, who was also considering Washington State, picked up a late offer from his former recruiter at West Virginia, Shannon Dawson, and committed on the spot.

*********************

12:50 a.m. —— Late Tuesday night, Riverside (Calif.) C.C. linebacker Jonah Moi de-committed from Washington State and flipped commitments to Oregon. Moi's de-commitment was completely expected, however it dropped the Cougars' overall class ranking to No. 41 in the country and now leaves the Cougars with just three linebacker commits.

*********************


7:11 a.m. —— This doesn't have any bearing on Washington State's NSD, however former cornerback target Marcus Lewis wound up picking Florida State this morning. The four-star was down to Kentucky and Miami as of the beginning of the week.

*********************

7:46 a.m. —— As expected, Nnamdi Oguayo is listed as an outside linebacker by WSU. He's also listed at 6-foot-4, 210-pounds. Other measurements: Cedric Bigge-Duren (6-6, 310), Thomas Toki (6-1, 307), Noah Myers (6-5, 300).

*********************


8:12 a.m. —— Jason Gesser, on the Cougars' NSD radio show, says Kyrin Priester "has a different geat" and that he's "dominating in 7-on-7s." He'll sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, but that's a good sign, obviously.

*********************

8:18 a.m. —— Thomas Toki tweeted out moments ago that "there's some good news" coming for Washington State fans and that "We got a good one!." All signs would point towards T.J. Fehoko, Toki's cousin, who announces in a couple hours.

Here's Fehoko's profile: http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-T.J.-Fehoko-153566

*********************

8:33 a.m. —— According to his coach, Lakewood (Wash.) Lakes ATH Komonee Jenkins is signing with Washington State as a preferred walk-on. I'll have more on Jenkins later today.

*********************

9:00 a.m. —— I've been getting a lot of questions about Shalom Luani, so I thought I want to pass along what I know. He supposedly signed with Washington State during the JUCO signing period, but he never arrived on campus. I haven't heard anything that would indicate him not signing with the Cougars today, so stay tuned.

UPDATE: Shalom Luani has sent in his NLI. Good news.

*********************

9:34 a.m. —— Washington State running backs coach Jim Mastro says James Williams, who suffered an ACL tear, will be cleared to play by May, which is obviously great news and a quick turnaround.

*********************

9:56 a.m. —— Salt Lake City (UT) Cottonwood defensive end T.J. Fehoko has committed to Washington State.

*********************

10:37 a.m. —— According to Rivals analyst Adam Gorney, Gardena (Calif.) Serra receiver Deontay Burnett may be headed to USC as a blueshirt. Working to figure out more on this right now, but things don't look good for Wazzu. The Serra contingent will announce their commitments in the next hour or so.

*********************


10:42 a.m. —— There's rumblings on the Twittersphere that Taeon Mason may end up flipping elsewhere, too. Working to confirm this, but his phone is disconnected. We should know sooner than later.

*********************


11:06 a.m. —— Former four-star Washington State commit Kyahva Tezino officially flipped to San Diego State today.

*********************

11:23 a.m. —— Washington State receiver target George Wilson sticks with his pledge to Utah. Boise State was also in the picture.

*********************


11:39 a.m. —— Gardena (Calif.) Serra receiver Deontay Burnett has officially flipped from Washington State to USC. He'll blueshirt, meaning he'll be a preferred walk-on and receive a scholarship in 2016.

*********************

12:01 p.m. —— Barring something drastic happening, Washington State is going to lose Taeon Mason today, too. Buzz is building that he'll flip to Oregon.

UPDATE: Mason actually flipped to San Jose State.

*********************

Other than Dimry, who appears to be a good find, this WR group in this class has the smell of the Waseem family bathroom.

During today's press conference, Mike Leach confirmed Dennis Simmons will be the new WR coach at Oklahoma.

and saw this: "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

of our class changing their mind in the last week. It explains why there were 28 commits. I would much rather lose a WR or three than DT's and DE's.

Linebacker continues to be thin, especially running a 3-4.

But I would rather pick up a DE/DT and lose a WR any day of the week.

And I believe another 5 high school olineman. Can only mean more stability.

the addition of Singleton, Luani, and Broughton, along with the transfer of Jeff Farrar, should vastly improve the d-backfield. But Leach et al failed to significantly bolster the LB wand WR corps. Aaron Porter, a former 4-star recruit with numerous D-1 offers and a former UCLA signee, will contribute, but some young LBs are going to have to grow up in a hurry for the defense to turnaround the horrible performance from last season. Leniu, Luvu, and Logan Tago are going to have to step up.
Here are my grades so far (which can change depending on any last-minute surprises):
QB: Hilinksi, B+
RB: Williams B (taking only one when you have three RBs returning is not good).
WR: D
LB: C
DB: B
K: B
OL: B+
DL: A-
TE...oh, yeah.

I'm not a film expert, but like you guys, I've watched enough recruiting tape to know that kid like Dimry certainly has the ability to garner some scholarship interest. He's very tall, runs well, and understands the importance of high pointing the ball.

I can't help but wonder how he slipped through the cracks to the point where nobody else offered him a ride. It's not like he's an undersized guy like Julian Edlemann or Wes Welker.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, four-star cornerback Taeon Mason has flipped from Washington State to San Jose State. Unreal turn of events and an absolute back breaker for the Cougars, who's class has been officially gutted.

to San Diego State? Grades? Since when does WSU lose a 4-star commit to SDSU?

I'm chatting over here for awhile, if you guys want to join.

Gardena (Calif.) Serra WR Deontay Burnett has flipped commitments from Washington State to USC. He will blueshirt.

WSU women's soccer. See the link...

Soccer signees

He decommitted from Nebraska and is now a verbal to Arkansas. We got lucky that he decommitted from WSU. He has bust written all over him.

I thought he already signed?

With all the receivers we have does LaRue play corner?

so I will not be surprised if some key facts are not included. For example, JC linebacker Aaron Porter originally was a 4-star recruit who signed with UCLA. He had eight Pac-12 offers, plus Boise State and others, coming out of high school. Current Cougar RB coach Jim Mastro recruited Porter when Mastro was at Nevada. Today, Mastro said Nevada never had a shot at Porter, but many major programs wanted him.
Sebastian Larue, while not in this class, hardly drew attention when he transferred from Texas A&M, but he was a 4-star recruit out of high school with more than two dozen offers from major programs.

In Gesser's and Brink's interview with AC Jim Mastro, much was said about commits keeping their word, particularly Thomas Toki and James Williams, that a handshake means something. "For some of these kids it's just a game, because of social media...," Mastro said of prospects wanting the attention to keep coming.
I agree it's great Toki and Williams stayed with their commitments, but let's not be hypocritical. We're more than happy that Taeon Mason switched to us (I'm assuming USC didn't withdraw the offer, and I'm assuming he actually signs with WSU).

we're getting a very good player "later on." Fehoku? Joyner?

Riverside (Calif.) C.C. linebacker Jonah Moi has flipped commitments from Washington State to Oregon, per a source.
