    Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

    Are you going to add WSU/players committed to the list?

      About half the schools have 2+ 4* recruits coming in and the other half is MVC like.

          One thing to remember is that many JUCOs are not ranked by the recruiting services so the automatic 2*s they get are not a true reflection of their talent. For instance I believe all 3 JUCOs signed by Memphis are All American as is Samajae for WSU. Same thing happens a lot for foreign born players that did not come to the US or Canada for high school.

              I'm drooling at all those 4 stars. Our recruiting almost certainly got a nice bump automatically.

              I think I'm gonna like this conference.

                  Me too. Sure would be nice to see 3G pick up about three 4 star players for 2018 if not more. Judging by his comments he made in the past couple of weeks (I looked in vain for the article(s) but couldn't find what I had read before), it would seem he thinks he may have several high profile recruits lined up.

                    That Houston class should form a band.

                    Fabian and the 2-Stars.

                      I edited the list to show JUCO All Americans.

                      Memphis has 2 1st teamers and SHJ in made the 2nd team for the Shocks.

                        USF has landed two grad transfers in the last two days.
                        Stephan Jiggetts from Fairleigh-Dickinson: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...ephan-jiggetts
                        Payton Banks from Penn State: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...0/payton-banks

                        This after the news that freshman point guard Mike Bibby Jr. would be transferring. USF still has four scholarships available for next season.

                          Would WSU play Women/Men Rugby and Lacrosse like UConn does? they also play Men's Volleyball, would WSU consider that as well?

                          I'm so sorry about posting this in wrong thread.

                            None of those are revenue generating sports, so it seems highly unlikely that WSU would be interested in adding any of them since it would just drain resources from existing programs.
