A recruit, a raise for Mike Leach and more

Welcome back football. The season may not start for a couple more weeks, but football news season is already in regular season form. Fall camp continues to roll on -- Andy will have more on Day 3 later this morning -- but that was far from the only WSU on Monday.

Here is just a look at some of what happened:

• Mike Leach got a $500,000 per season raise with the assistants getting a bump too.
• Jeff Farrar, who signed with Virginia in February, is headed to Pullman afterall. The 3-star corner should be eligible immediately.
• Crews continue to work on Martin Stadium with the addition of brick facade the current project.
• Current WSU 2015 commitment Dominic Davis was moved to 4-stars by Scout.com with a similar bump from Rivals.com expected soon. That will give WSU four 4-star recruits among the current 2015 verbal commitments. According to Rivals. WSU has signed four 4-star prospects in the last 8 years.
• Marquess Wilson will be out a while after breaking his clavicle in Bears practice.

And now for even more.
