Re: Commitment -
Great news. This kid is a developing talent ,whom i think was overlooked by many bigger schools.He is 6'3 and either listed as a PG or SG . He has talent and will be a very good D 1 player.His video is very good. He had an offer from Penn State and UC Irvine and WSU late.

In the youtube video he is a 6'4 PG . He shows serious hops,good quickness and speed.Most of incoming frosh have problems with defense at the next level. But he has the physical ability and with desire and good coaching there is no reason he cannot play solid defense. He may be the steal of the season for the cougs. There are a couple of other HS players from Arizona whom i hope the cougs pick up

It's "7I" folks. That is seven eye...not seven one.
Details...details...so many have made this mistake over the years and it is driving me nuts! ;-)

Solid get for the backcourt. Doesn't look like a PG but a guy that will hopefully compete with Iroegbu for minutes behind Lacy next season. It will be interesting to see what they do with the final spot or do they have 2 left now?
It looks like Kent has done a nice job especially for the spring.

Which is not an unusual position for an entering frosh.He has to learn to play defense and to rapidly get used to much better competition. The difference between HS and D1 basketball is night and day. D1 basketball is almost like football without pads to the kids playing it.The speed, quickness, and the strength of basketball players at that level is amazing.Unlike the previous regime which recruited essentailly raw projects whom other D1 programs did not want ,Kent is getting kids with the physical ability to succeed at this level
Lets hope there's a PG in the bunch. Best bet is Isabell at this point with the others secondary ball-handlers or backup PGs. With Lacy gone after next year there's plenty of minutes available at the 2 a year from now.
Isabell probably is the pg, but Ike looked more like a pg than a two guard to me. I think everyone gets too caught up in the idea of a pure pg. Neither Low or Rochestie were pure pgs. Rochestie performed admirably at the position, but his skill set was much more catch and shoot. He was not the penetrator that most elite pgs are. Two smart, experienced combo guards who can dribble, pass, and shoot trump one pure pg in my opnion, and gives a coach much more options in his offense.
Iroegbu has talent but is a bit of a tweener. His high school evaluation has ended up pretty accurate. Needs to play better under control, needs to improve "feel" for the game, and from what we saw last year he primarily looks score.
The combination of Weaver/Low/Korprivca and Rotchestie/Weaver/Low was good. As you say there wasn't a "pure" PG in the bunch. Individually and collectively we don't have this skillset on the roster. I can't remember the last "pure" PG at WSU. None of Rotchestie, Moore, Seltzer, Ellison, were really "pure point guards" in my book although I'm not sure how you define it.
PG has been a glaring weakness the last 3 years.
