Just like in years past, the football coaches at Washington State University must outwork every other college in the conference/nation to recruit football players to our great institution. Also like in years passed, our coaches must continue to recruit kids right up until the minute Letters of Intent are faxed into their offices at Bohler Gym. Just like Alec Baldwin said in one of the most famous monologues in cinematic history, the difference between 1st Prize and 2nd Prize, when it comes to recruiting, is truly the difference between a brand new Cadillac and a box of steak knives. Under Doba's last few years, we had to settle for 3rd Prize and the results have shown in our on-field performance the past two seasons! You can't always fault a teenager for changing their minds, continue reading to see if the grass is truly greener for those who don't sign with the Cougs....

It's that time of year again. The Seattle Times and Tacoma News Tribune have unveiled their annual recruiting rankings. If you aren't totally familiar with it, the Times goes with their Blue Chips/Red Chips/White Chips series, looking only at players in the state of Washington, while the TNT rolls with the Northwest Nuggets, looking at the entire region including Oregon, Idaho, etc. Check out the Times' Blue Chips here, and the Red & White Chips here. The TNT's Nuggets are here. Oh, and no, WSU didn't get any Blue Chips this year. UW ended up with three of the four selected for this year, with Jake Heaps the lone non-UW player who made their list. They didn't get any Nuggets either. Boo. The good news is that they did end up with a lot of the Red Chips, with six of 'em (Connor Halliday, Aaron Dunn, Maxx Forde, John Fullington, Jake Rodgers and Blair Bomber). From a WSU fan perspective, I guess if you wanted to take issue with who the Times put in their top four, you COULD say that they missed on Aaron Dunn, the 9th-ranked tight end in the country from Scout.com and now rated among the top 200 players overall in the country. But I don't know, I mean there really isn't any point in getting worked up over who should or shouldn't be rated as the top four in the state. Dunn's credentials are just fine, and he projects nicely as he moves up to the NCAA next year. I don't think he's going to lose sleep over not making the Blue Chips list....and neither should you. As mentioned, WSU didn't have any nuggets, but had some honorable mentions with Dunn, Halliday and Fullington. Read on for more....

Hello Followers. Hope you're having a good weekend.
Well, today started off so darn good for yours truly. Little Sutra busted out 11 points in the second half of his morning tilt, including 6 of his teams final 8 points, as the little Wizards won their first game of the season. "This is going to be an AWESOME Saturday" I thought at the time.
And then our Cougars took the court in Pauley..
Want to know my takes on today's debacle of a loss to the Ruins? Then read on.

Happy Cougar Football Basketball Saturday,
So after an epic come-from-behind win, the likes of which have not been seen by Cougar Athletics since the 2008 Apple Cup, can these young Cougs keep the momentum from Thursday night rolling into Pauley Pavilion? A win would represent 3 victories at Pauley all-time, or 3 in their last 6 attempts. Read on for my thoughts plus other predictions from around the Pac 10 Conference....

Hello Coug fans! It's almost National Letter of Intent day (Feb. 6) and the final verbals are trickling in for what appears to be another strong recruiting class for 2010. Along with these verbals have come a flood of glowing reviews about the amazing experiences these kids are having on their official visits to Pullman. If you believe what they're saying, and the rate of verbal commitments seem to back them up, apparently Coach Wulff is the host with the most.
That said, I can't be the only one who has wondered, what on earth do they do with these guys? Knowing coach Wulff I think its safe to say they aren't getting the Tennessee/Lane Kiffin lap dance treatment, or anything close. So what do you do in Pullman, in January, to impress 17-18 year old kids? Last weekend a large group of recruits came to WSU, and as I personally shepherded a couple of old alums around campus to see all the changes of the last few years, we kept running into these guys, giving us a little glimpse of what makes up a recruiting visit. Here's what we saw...
