what's happening with Jonah Moi. The last reports had him visiting TCU (or was it Oregon?).

Mission Viejo (Calif.) Saddleback College WR Christopher "C.J." Dimry picked up an offer from Washington State tonight. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound receiver officially visited over the weekend. Syracuse was also interested in Dimry.

With Dahu Green flipping to Oklahoma tonight, this offer is a no-brainer. I would expect a commitment from Dimry tomorrow.

For the Knot Hole Gang per BR twitter. Oguayo is a 6'4 210 OLB/DE fro, Maryland. Excellent pickup Some good news

Sacramento (Calif.) Grant offensive tackle Darrin Paulo will make his college decision today and is down to Washington State, Oregon, Nebraska, and Utah. I think this decision comes down to Washington State and Nebraska with the Cornhuskers holding a slight lead. We'll see.

Moore (Okla.) Westmoore WR Dahu Green has flipped from Washington State to Oklahoma. This news doesn't come as too big of a surprise, given the three-star receiver's official visit to Norman over the weekend, coupled with rumors that his primary recruiter, Dennis Simmons, is linked to the Sooners outside receivers job. It's another tough blow to the WSU class.

With Lavan Alston committing to Nebraska over the weekend, George Wilson, a three-star Utah receiver commit, is the only receiver prospect on the Cougars' hot board who still has Washington State interest. JUCO receiver C.J. Dimry, who visited over the weekend, could also be a potential replacement in this class, though he does not yet hold an offer.

With Deontay Burnett also weighing his options following an official visit to Michigan, the Cougars' receiving corps, which was once a strength of this class, is now left with Kyle Sweet as the only solid verbal commitment. There will surely be some movement at receiver over the next 24 hours.

Tustin (Calif.) WR George Wilson and Murray (UT) Taylorsville DE Mufi Hunt will make their college decisions at 11 a.m. PST and 10 a.m. PST, respectively, at their high schools on Wednesday.

Wilson almost becomes a priority recruit now that Green has flipped to Oklahoma and Burnett looking at Arizona State and Michigan. The thing with Wilson, though, is that he seemed to cool on Washington State and focusing on Boise State and Utah, where he's committed, after the Cougars landed Green, but he'll have a Washington State hat on the table. Dave Yost is his recruiter.

Hunt will be making his college decision between Utah State, BYU, Michigan State, Oregon State and Washington State. The Cougars, for quite awhile, were in good position to land the three-star defensive end, though he's probably a long shot at this point. Hunt will take a two-year mission following graduation and arrive at the school of his choice for the 2016-17 season.

If he indeed had a agreed to take the OU job, WSU should have got him out of Pullman the day he accepted and hire Jarrail Jackson to take his place. He was a lame duck recruiter for us once he took the job. Trying to hold out and wait until after signing day killed this class. Tezino probably found out he was leaving, Green knew he was heading to OU, Burnett probably knows and will end up at ASU because we haven't hired his replacement yet. Faamatau flipped to ASU, Sykes flipped to Nebraska all in the last week. Would have some flipped? Sure, but Tezino went from 100% committed to decommitting 2 days before signing day.

This falls on Moos and Leach. Moos talks about running with the big boys, well big boys don't let coaches try and fill out a class that are leaving. Did they offer him money to stay? Was the pay raise so big at OU that he we couldn't match it? Lincoln Riley is making $500K to be their OC, I don't see Simmons making anything near that. Maybe $350K, he was making about $210K, could we have not got him up to $300K or so? I don't know.

From a class that had so much promise to scrambling to just sign 25 kids is tough.

Washington State is the latest school to show interest in Baytown (TX) Lee College PF Ahmed Mohamed, according to a Twitter report from Brad Winton of JucoRecruiting.com. The 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward is from Alexandria, Egypt.

Mohamed played his senior year of high school at Sugar Land (TX) Trent Internationale School before signing with Houston as a member of the 2013 class and redshirted last year. He then transferred to Lee College this season.

As a redshirt freshman, Mohamed is averaging 16.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. You can check out his current statistics at this link. Mohamed holds an offer from Tulsa and is also hearing from Arkansas, Wichita State, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

The Cougars recently signed four prospects in the 2014 class, including two JUCO players - Derrien King and Renard Suggs - in addition to high school prospects Robert Franks and Jeff Pollard.

Ernie Kent says Pollard, a forward out of Bountiful (UT), will likely go the prep school route and arrive in Pullman for the 2016-17 season. Franks has put together a big year at Vancouver (Wash.) Evergreen, though there have been rumors that grades could be an issue.

It's clear, though, that the staff believes they will have room for one more player in this class, preferably a big man to pair with Valentine Izundu (also a former Houston transfer) in the front court next season. I'm hoping to have more on Mohamed in the coming days.

I just received a text message from four-star linebacker Kyahva Tezino who says he has de-committed from Washington State. Tezino declined to explain the reasoning for the decision, but a flip to San Diego State would seem likely.

It's about "negative recruiting." A WSU assistant might be the one referenced in the "Stats Mean Nothing" segment.

Monday's chat went pretty well, so I'm going to do another one here until about noon today. Drop your questions on WSU here and I'll get to them when I can.

According to a report by The Football Brainiacs, Washington State outside WR coach Dennis Simmons is a candidate for the Oklahoma Sooners vacancy. When asked whether he would be the new WR coach at Oklahoma today, Simmons said "I have no comment," according to the report.

I have been unable to confirm the report on the Washington State side, however a source close to the Oklahoma program says the Sooners have already made their two hires - receivers and defensive backs - and are waiting until after signing day to make the news official. The source says the rumor around Norman is that Simmons has already agreed to accept to position.

The obvious connection here is that Simmons worked with new Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley while at East Carolina and Texas Tech. The Sooners could likely offer Simmons, who has quickly become one of the top WR coaches in the nation, a substantial raise in salary.

I'm still working on confirming this story, so stay tuned.

As reported on BR Twitter and others ,Tezino a four star commit has decommited from WSU.I wonder if he is going to SDSU? Rumors are that their coach is on the hot seat and may not be around after this year.

Anaheim (Calif.) Servite 2017 WR Terrell Bynum says Washington State offered today. It's the first offer for the 5-foot-11, 167-pound receiver, who is also hearing from UCLA, USC, Miami, Nebraska, Utah and Oregon.

I just talked to Deontay Burnett to clear up what's going on.

Burnett said he has not committed to Michigan and that he remains committed to Washington State. On the flight home, he got to thinking about the recruiting process and that he wanted to consider three options - Wazzu, Michigan and Arizona State.

That is what he will do over the next couple days leading up to National Signing Day. I still stand by my text message report because it's still on my phone but that's where we stand now.

Britton, Can you find out if this recent SDSU de-commit is visiting this weekend? He's a 6-3 185lb DB with reported interest from WSU.

Thanks.

After their wr commit today. But okie guys saying Indiana now in the picture. Anyone?

Hope not

and it could be 21 if Moi and Green flip.

NC State fan here. I'm a big fan of Coach Leach and Im really hoping next year things get back on track for you all. But tonight I was casually looking around at various programs current commitment lists to see how different classes are shaping up with teams I like. It really seems Yall have a nice class coming in, but when I was looking at the list, something stuck out. I didn't see a single player on there from the state of Washington. I thought it was so odd. I had to double take.

I was hoping someone could educate me on this. As a guy from NC, I havent a clue about high school football in Washington, but I'm curious. Is this normal? Does the state struggle to produce D1 football players.

Really hope yall have a break out year next year. I'd love to see coach Leach get things back on track.



Btw, not sure if anyone cares, but we're recruting a kid from Utah named TJ Fehoko. Looks like he took an official to WSU at one point. Seems like a good prospect.

Take a look around 2:20. Guy is a beast

East West Bowl Pt. 3

Maybe getting Justice Murphy to WSU? He's being recruited by a guy who was offered by WSU....Taylor Stubblefield to Utah. Maybe one of those overlooked guys like Nelson Spruce who come in and do great things over the course of 4 years. I remember after seeing Spruce's video...being more impressed by his quarterback Nick Isham who ended up at Louisiana Tech and starting as a true freshman. I thought maybe WSU had taken the wrong guy (Cody Clemens) and should of offered Spruce as well.

I'll rather have it be a receiver, easier to replace. You can take a JC player like Dimry, bring him in, redshirt him and have 2 years left of him to contribute. Maybe Burnett played this year, but receiver recruiting will always be fine under Leach. Just sucks losing players that been committed since July and haven't taken a trip since they visited in November flip on the last weekend. I'm pretty sure Wazzu wasn't recruiting his spot that hard because he didn't visit any schools since he visited so to get left holding the bag like this is rough. So goes recruiting, why I don't get too excited about verbal commits.
