PrintI don't know if you've heard, but there is a rather large event coming up in the college football world. National Signing Day is less than a week away and in that time you are likely to see plenty of recruiting coverage. As part of our recruiting coverage, Kyle is putting together a mailbag, answering any recruiting questions you all may have.
Maybe this is your first year following recruiting and you don't really know what happens on National Signing Day. Maybe you don't know what a LOI is. Or maybe you'd like to know whether Eduardo Middleton projects better at tackle or guard. Whatever your question may be, Kyle will do his best to answer it. You can email him questions via the email link at the bottom of the page or you can tweet him, Facebook him, Skype him, write him a letter or hit him up on ICQ. Just whatever you do, do not Myspace him, he hates that.
The WSU men's and women's basketball teams return to action tonight. Craig will be by later with a preview of the men's game against Arizona, but until then there are previews and other links after the jump.

Washington State Cougars - Spokesman.com - Jan. 26, 2012
OUTLOOK: Arizona (13-7, 4-3) is coming off a tough 64-63 loss at Colorado last week. The Cougars can pull even with the Wildcats in the conference standings with a win.
The 11-8, 3-4 Washington State Cougars go to Tucson to play the 13-7, 4-3 Arizona Wildcats who are 9-2 at McKale Center. Two of the best teams on the West Coast beat 'Zona who comes off of a tough 64-63 loss at 13-6, 5-2 Colorado last weekend.
Success at home’s a constant in league
It’s definitely tempting to go overboard about Washington State’s weekend, with wins over two teams that were in first place entering each game, but should we have really been surprised? The games were in Pullman, after all, and doesn’t the home team always win in the Pac-12? Well, almost.
Choosing basketball over baseball paid off for Shadle’s Boese - Spokesman.com - Jan. 26, 2012
Going into his freshman year, Brett Boese thought his eventual path to college would be baseball. A glance and an injury, though, steered the Shadle Park senior toward basketball. It started the spring of his freshman year and was confirmed by a baseball injury a few months later that summer.

Piggybacking on yesterday's Apodaca post
I’m 100% onboard with this kid. Anybody that comes from the same town as the Left Hand Brewery is all aces is my book.
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.
Hmm, I dont remember it happening like this
The Cougars were beaten by 11 and 10 points at 13-6, 5-2 Colorado and 15-5, 5-3 Stanford.
Everything about this article doesn’t make sense
While I think we could have ourselves an even more competitive matchup this time around, I’ll back the ’Cats scratching out a double-digit win.
Tyrone’s Pick: Arizona -9
Agreed
Who is this Tyrone person, and why are we linking to him?

Cougar Acetone?
Actually, hadn’t thought about that, WYWSAYLO.
We might end up on ESPN’s doodoo list and never get game day in Pullman now!

We never got out of it.

The rumors started a few days ago
I think I read somewhere the WSU coaches indicated that they may want him to grayshirt. If they stick to that, my guess is he’ll go elsewhere.

Yeah, I'd buy that.
The above article states one of the draws to WSU was the ability to play right away.
In case you missed it....
Interesting story on Utah’s BB coach, and how he measures his team’s success. h/t Christian Caple and the SR.

Krystkowiak is doing a heck of a job
When he brings some talent in, look out. That team is making strides everyweek. I know they still get blown out from time to tome, but they seem to rebound off those games nicely.
Around these parts, a man could get hurt for wearing purple.
Steal
My biggest question is what recruit out of this class will be considered the biggest steal? Who committed early to WSU when Wulff’s staff noticed something and offered when no know one was looking at them and gained trust and has stayed with WSU.
I am not certain but Austin Apodaca seems to a definite steal who had he played as a junior like he a did this past year as a senior he certainly wouldn’t be a future Cougar right now. After seeing Kyle’s article it’s obvious there’s a night and day difference between the command of his offense his senior compared to his junior year when Wulff’s staff was able to land him. In my opinion Austin’s a major steal and perfect fit for Leach’s Air Raid offense.
Something tells me Feddie Davey is going to have a Bob Sanders type impact on this defense. He makes plays all the time and can lay the wood. I know that’s lofty expectations, but remember Sanders was 5’8" 175 lbs, not very fast, and not recruited by many teams and was lucky to land a scholarship to Iowa (the only BCS conference school to offer) and became a 2nd round pick. Maybe it’s crazy thinking, but getting someone from a good program in Miami that played on a top notch defense, could possibly be overlooked and someone that can make an impact despite the naysayers. They said he was the “glue that kept them together.” He just seems like he’s going to make a big impact because the kid makes a lot of plays. I like the fact he came from an area with big and solid players who seem destined for the ACC or SEC. I see stud written all over him. I could easily be wrong, but I hope my non-scouting abilities are correct on this one!
