Motum -> WSU

PrintThe 2008 recruiting class is complete with the addition of Brock Motum*, a 6'9" Australian power forward.
Without going into too much detail, this is huge for the Cougs for two reasons: 1) we desperately needed one more big man in next year's class, and 2) it keeps the Australian pipeline going even after Baynes graduates this year.
* Vince Grippi had his name spelled wrong at SportsLink, where we found the news. Sorry!

Here's what Grippi had to say
The 6-foot-9 power forward is reportedly something special, though we haven’t seen him play, of course. A former college basketball coach now in broadcasting told a friend he believes Mouton could be one of the better players to come from Australia. When we contact the freshman-to-be, we’ll pass along his comments. Early signing day is next Wednesday.
If that’s true, this is spectacular news. Between returnees Casto, Boeke and Watson, and 2008 classmate David Chadwick, that’s a heck of a lot of talent up front.
And here's a brief bio
From the Australian Institute of Sport. You might remember Baynes came from AIS, as did NBA top pick Andrew Bogut and Vandy star Andrew Ogilvy.
