WSU has offered all three. If they come to WSU, Leach would definitely be getting closer to his Texas Tech o-lines.
Foster Sarell, 6-6, 300, Graham
Henry Bainivalu, 6-6,302, Skyline/Sammamish
Dontae Powell, 6-6, 300, Richland
One of my co-workers was kind enough to let me know that WSU was mentioned in the ESPN College Gameday calendar last week. The trivia question was, "What team did Colorado beat for its lone victory of the 2012 season?"
One day last week, based purely on curiosity, I decided to watch a couple of episodes of "Gunsmoke". Never really watched it before, especially growing up as a child. I can't believe how good this show is. Now, I'm seriously hooked, and have to watch an hour a day, while I look forward to each new recorded episode each night. Pretty cool stuff. Said to be the longest running prime time TV show in Amercia, from 1955-1975, with 635 espisodes. I've got 631 to go. It's all Mike's fault.
From Hamza Abdullah:
The trainers will give you enough prescription drugs that would lead the average citizen to meth, but they'll suspend you for smoking weed.
Nothing more… Just an interesting insight on what trainers/sideline doctors do to keep players in.
Perris (Calif.) Citrus Hill DB Skyler Thomas has committed to Washington State. Thomas is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound safety prospect who picked up an offer from Washington State recently. He chose the Cougars over invites from Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Montana State, Northern Arizona, UNLV and New Mexico.
Washington State has landed a verbal commitment from Upland (Calif.) WR Grant Porter, a three-star receiver listed at 6-foot-2, 184-pounds, who picked Washington State over offers from Boise State, Colorado State, Kansas, San Diego State, San Jose State and Utah.
He's the fourth prospect to verbal to Washington State over the last year-plus, joining late addition Jeff Farrar in the 2014 class and 2015 signees Tyler Hilinski and Kameron Powell.
The Cougars have landed their first commitment in the 2017 class, adding a verbal from Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) DB Tayari Venable, a 6-foot, 180-pound safety, rated three-stars by Rivals. Eastern Washington has also offered Venable.
Looking at Britt's recent tweet, he's looking at a real positive week for WSU's recruiting… any thoughts (crystal ball time) on whom will be realizing their destiny?
Moving to the area to start a new job. As a guy trying to find a place to live, damn it is expensive and there is not much supply of places. Anyone know of anything, or have any recommendations on where to look?
Michigan has given Ondre Pipkins a release and permission to talk to WSU and several other schools about a transfer. Pipkins says Harbaugh and staff pressured him to sign a medical form bringing about his retirement from football, due to injuries he's had at Michigan (torn ACL, concussion). He refused to sign and, thus, seeks a transfer. http://espn.go.com/college-football...rines-coach-jim-harbaugh-staff-pressured-quit
I taped and rewatched the Sports Center Broadcast from Hoopfest yesterday and it looks like the Cougs made a good showing despite the love fest for gu basketball.
It also seemed like in my travels around Hoopfest there is a lot more Wazzu gear than gu though that may just be that my eye is trained to spot Cougs.
Brand x has a short about the possibility of Michigan DT Ondre Pipkins transferring to WSU. He says Harbaugh and staff pressured him to leave. As such, Michigan has granted him a release from his schollie. I guess he'll have only one year of eligibility, but the guy is a load (6-3, 320, a former 5-star recruit). Has some injury history, however - hence, the Michigan staff's attempts to get him to retire to free up a schollie. But he feels healthy enough to play, he says.
