Vince Grippi is back, checking in with some WSU updates. The aforementioned Anthony Houston injury is confirmed and he has some basketball news.

The good news is that Patrick Simon and Andre Winston are on campus. Dexter Kernich-Drew should arrive when school starts, as he's dealing with getting his visa and assorted paperwork in order.

On the cautiously optimistic front, Faisel Aden is finishing up his AA and appears to be on track to get here by the time school starts. Obviously we won't know until August, but this is promising.
