Big stuff coming up this week at CougCenter

Just wanted to give you all a little heads up as to what you can expect from us this week, which is a pretty big and important week in the world of Cougar athletics.

I'll be bringing you my usual Pac-10 Weekend Wrap sometime later today, and if I get too tired of grading and need a break, I might also have another post for you on the basketball team's lack of leadership and how that's exacerbating the experience issue. Regardless, you'll see that post sometime this week.

Of course, the reason I need to denote that previous post as being about the basketball team is because this is the week that letters of intent come rolling in for football, and that represents the single greatest asset of Cougar football right now -- hope.

We're going to be ready, doing it up right with what we figure will be the most extensive coverage you find anywhere on the Internet. Scout links to Scout stuff, Rivals links to Rivals stuff, and ESPN links to ESPN stuff ... but we can link to all of it, and pull out what we think is the most important and relevant information for you to know. If there's video or information out there on a recruit, you'll find it here.

We'll also have a way to post the news as it comes rolling in throughout the day so that you never have to leave CougCenter to find out what's going on. It's going to be that cool.

Also, we'll have plenty of breakdown of the class afterward, when we'll ...

  • Cull all the analysis of the class once it's finalized and pass along what others are saying. 
  • Have a special signing day edition of the podcast for you on the site on Thursday. (In addition to the regular podcast, which we'll have on the site tomorrow.)
  • Unveil Grady's second annual Elite Eight, in which he highlights eight players to keep an eye on from this class.

And, of course, we won't forget about what figures to be an enormous week for hoops. This team really needs a sweep of the Arizona schools to get this thing back on course, and we'll have thoughts on that as well.

So, all in all, a big week for us. We hope you'll be around here plenty to experience it all.

Great news

Thats good to hear that you guys will be going all out for signing day because there are a lot of important unknowns left in this class.

-Will Asante Cleveland sign with us or Miami?
-Will Erik Dargan choose us or Oregon?
-And do we have a shot at Julius Moore the DT who might be with UCLA or might not be?

Should be an exciting day and I know we’re all hoping some of those important decisions fall our way because we need all the help we can get. Really looking forward to signing day.

Best guesses

Cleveland signs with us
Dargan goes Oregon
Moore didn’t visit this weekend, so we’re probably screwed there

It would seem to me

That the farther away we get from that official visit and he hasn’t changed, the better our chances that Cleveland sticks with his commitment.

I agree with cougfan

Although I still think Dargan signs with us.

by spokanecougar on Feb 1, 2010 6:53 PM PST up reply actions  

I am holding out hope....

that he wants to play with two of his teammates that already have committed here.

The perfect week would be

1. No de-commits
2. Goggins and Mahoney sign with us
3. The mens basketball team sweeps the Arizona schools
4. Dargan signs with us.

If half of these go out way that would still be a solid week.

Icing on the cake...

5. the huskies get swept.

Sometimes I feel like I root against them almost as much as I root for the Cougs…

by displacedcoug on Feb 1, 2010 11:13 PM PST up reply actions  

A true Coug has two favorite teams:

1. The Cougs
2. Whoever is playing the huskies.

I learned years ago that I hate them as much as I love the Cougs.

I am looking forward to a little b-ball talk

I know Casto’s stats are probably falling into place now that we are half way through Pac10 play, but lately it seems like I don’t even notice him in games anymore. The announcers don’t even say much about him, except when he is in foul trouble. I noticed his presence in the Oregon game and the Arizona games (probably because of his last second performances) but ever since he was benched for the ASU game he has lost that bounce we normally see. He seems to be hanging his head a lot more. I don’t think our young players handle the discipline in the public eye very well. I know Bone doesn’t think it affected Klay’s performance in the UW game, but when Klay, Casto and Capers didn’t start because of discipline reasons they didn’t come off the bench and play with effectiveness. Our frontcourt needs addressing for next year. UW just killed us on the boards and I don’t think hitting the weight room is going to solve it. Patrick Simon looks like he might be similar to Brock Motum. Unless, we get some frontcourt recruits we are looking at Casto, Watson, Motum, Simon, Bjornstad and maybe Enquist for the next 2-3 years. That is just not good enough for Pac10 play. We got handled by freshman Reeves Nelson…come on. It will be interesting to see what Bone does. I think he is the kind of coach that will do what is necessary to improve his team in the off-season.

Were probably screwed with cleveland

Miami may take him now. He chooses at 5 am tomorrow our time

by Brian Floyd on Feb 2, 2010 9:11 PM PST via mobile reply actions  

Naturally I read it wrong

Instead of 8 AM EST it’s 8 AM PST, so I guess there’s still hope.

Three star tight end Asante Cleveland (Sacramento, Calif/Christian Brothers) has been committed to Washington State for several months but he took an official visit to Miami two weekends ago. Cleveland will announce his final decision between the two tomorrow around 8 am PST. We expect him to ink with the Canes.
