According to his Twitter account, Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga cornerback Marcus Lewis has an in-home visit with Mike Leach and Jarrail Jackson tonight. The four-star defensive back, who officially visited Washington State in early October, was recently re-ranked as the No. 6 cornerback and No. 93 overall prospect in the country.

"Thank you to Coach Leach for coming all the way from Pullman to DC to chill with the fam," Lewis tweeted on Sunday night. "Appreciate you!! #Cougs!!"

According to his coach, Steilacoom (Wash.) linebacker Fotu Leiato had an in-home visit with Ken Wilson, Joe Salave'a, Eric Mele and Graham Harrell.

Anyone notice that Railey's dunk over the UTSA player was #1 on the Sportscenter Top 10?

Says Rob Rang CBS Sports.


3 reasons, according to Rob given are:
1. He's already graduated. Congrats, Kid.

2.NFL has a dearth of D tackle seniors

3. He is shooting up draft boards, he'23 years old

DeVante Wilson committed this weekend, who looks like a beast, who will help this team greatly. Adam said he was a giant Cal lean, so why would a kid with the offers that he has commit to a school without a DC? Now, I look at Wilson's prep profile page, not his JC page, but when he was in high school. Guess who recruited him at Nebraska? John Papuchis, who has been mentioned as a candidate for the DC here. I'm not wild to the idea of him as our DC, I think there is better candidates out there, but if he's the new linebacker coach or ST one, I will be OK with that.

Wilson

According to a report from David Nuno of KTRK-TV in Houston, Washington State head coach Mike Leach has expressed interest in the Houston job.

I spoke with two sources this evening who refuted the report, saying there's "zero chance" Leach has any interest in leaving Pullman. "He loves it here," a source, who requested anonymity, texted WazzuWatch.com on Sunday night. "Ridiculous."

"I haven't heard anything about Leach and openings," another source said. "He is very happy here." I'll have more as I gather it.

UPDATE: The official Washington State athletics account tweeted moments ago that there's no truth to the Leach to Houston rumors.

Washington State SID Bill Stevens also confirms there's no truth to the Nuno report of Leach having interest in the Houston opening.

According to a source, Riverside (Calif.) C.C. linebacker Jonah Moi, defensive end Jeremiah Mitchell and defensive end DaVante Wilson have committed to Washington State.

For a season wrap up story. Moos says he will rollover Leach's contract.

Moos will rollover Leach's contract

Two defensive ends and a linebacker. Per Greg Biggins tweet.

I wonder where he stands. He has offers from Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Maybe 9 JC players taken this year?? There's already 5 and if you add another CB, WR,, OLM and safety....that makes 9........Whew!

Any word from the Islander?

....before the news broke. A text message. Recruits are telling the coaches? Crazy.

Riley

According to CougFan, Darryl Monroe has decided to move on down the road. Regardless of his poor season this year, this cannot be a good thing for the current state of the team.

That was perfect coverage.. Not to mention some other be calls. UA is always in a position to tackle with their 335.

Looks likes how you beat Oregon

In "recent" Coug history, there has been Gary Rogers. Connor Halliday. Luke Falk.

This happens around the country, in college and the NFL. Guys burn it down in their first game or two, they get a hero's welcome, the hype machine kicks into gear... and then in the ensuing games, they promptly s--- the bed.

In many cases, with time, the QB rediscovers his mojo (Halliday). In many others, they don't.

Is this simply a function of defenses having no tape on a QB? Or is there more going on here; e.g., you don't nervous taking snaps in practice and you're comfortable in your first real games, then you eventually "learn" to get the yips and regress after you get hit a few times?

I am not a big BB fan.

I was at WSU during some of the Raveling years, the golden age of WSU basketbalI. What a class act George was and still is. Had the pleasure of meeting him during his HOF induction. Google him and watch his interviews about his WSU days. Great stuff.

I had season tickets during the Bennett years, because I loved their workmanlike, blue collar, team-based mentality. Part of why I enjoy seeing our fellow Coug Aron Baynes thrive in a similar situation in the NBA in San Antionio.

Met and liked Ken Bone, hated his philosophy and was sure that he would not thrive. Why did we not hire Ben Johnson and continue Bennett Ball. Major mistake IMHO.

Coach Kent, I like what he says, but frankly he comes off like an evangelical preacher. To be fair, no different than Tony Bennett and his 5 pillars. Can't even quote them. Something like honor, teamwork, loyalty, God, faith, blah blah chase the money you hypocrite.

Losing to Idaho is the lowest form of humiliation. I saw it in 1999 and 2000 in football. in Basketball, can you believe it? We are talking about IDAHO. Hello - redneck central.

Sincerely,

Loyal Coug

...said this last week, Leach is going to clean out the roster.

Seems to be his MO. If you are a 3rd year player and don't project to contribute as a solid player the next year, you go.

brand X reports that 3 star juco Treshon Broughton decommits from OSU and commits to cougs His video is very impressive

So the lowly coach (EDIT: Sarcasm alert) for Colorado State that we lost to last year, apparently is worthy. How much we helped his stock go up is debatable but he is heading to Florida to coach the Gators. The number of assistant's falling is increasing. Wonder if the list of 6 is growing for us...

Looks to be finding a home to show his talents. New Mexico has already offered him and now he's looking to potentially go to Vandy. Good for him!

Brit, hope you don't mind the link.

AA to Vandy?

Washington State has landed a commitment from Riverside (Calif.) C.C. cornerback Treshon Broughton, he tells WazzuWatch.com. The three-star cornerback was previously committed to Oregon State. We'll have more soon.

i'm ready to call uncle and let Kent go now. Same feeling I had when Wulff was hired.

The Kent system doesn't fit with the talent we have.

I think a good community college could eat us.

Floyd was right on this hire....he wanted someone else.

Moos needs to get his ego in check and admit he was wrong on this one if we don't improve.

Over the past year or two, the visitors list has been impressive. We've had the discussion that it's been a long time since these "star rated" players have looked WSU's way, but now we need to close on them. Sure seems like we are starting to hedge this way.

Complete speculation, but could someone give some reasons why? I'm assuming PT is one. Facilities is another. Is CML still a reason for the "looks"? Certainly our record isn't one...
