First Glance..

i saw a couple of tapes of the first practice. the cougs look long and much more athletic than last year. It seems like Ali may be the best PG this year. He can shoot and hopefully is better defensively than Flynn . As long as he can stay on front of his man and not do the dog trot following his man to the basket he will be a huge improvement.The first practice also showed a lot of extra energy and people trying to do more than was possible. They will settle down and we will get a better idea of who will get major minutes this year.Since Flynn is gone and other weak defensive players may see a major drop in minutes the cougs have a great chance of being a better team.

Saw youtube video but not much to take away. Matt Chazanow had a couple tweets.

All sounds good! The biggest question isn’t whether WSU improved but rather if they improved as much as the rest of the league? The incoming recruits around the league is pretty impressive. I doubt we will compete consistently against Oregon, Arizona and UCLA in that regard but if we can overtake Oregon State, Colorado and stay ahead of CAL that would be a plus. Constant year to year improvement that brings WSU at least to the middle of the PAC in the next two years is acceptable to me as far as Kent keeping his job goes

It will be interesting as i feel that a great many of the highly rated recruits do not pan out. I feel that the cougs may reach the middle of the PAC this year.
