Hello Followers.
Today, we honor the age-long American tradition of stopping productivity in favor of obsessing over the decisions of handful of 17-20 year old men.
So, as we enter signing day of 2012, you can almost cut the tension with a knife:
Will Taylor Taliulu decide to go back to Hawaii after deciding last night to go to WSU after deciding to go to Hawaii? Will Destiny escape us? Will Leach find himself to be “On the Marks” during this abbreviated recruiting cycle?
With questions like these in play like never before, how can you not click on the jump throughout the day?
(And yes, we’ll be updating the list of Cougar committs as they come into the WSUFB headquarters throughout the day…)

Followers, here’s the deal: We’re tapped into the fax machine universe. So, when a fax comes in, we’ll have an “Update” listed in bold. Then, we’ll let you know who has made the greatest decision of the world in becoming a Coug for Life. Then, at the bottom of the page, we’ll provide a master list of who has committed so far.
For instance:
UPDATE: 6:23am Pacific

Okay, that’s all folks.
Overall, a good class given the coaching turnover. And if Sam Jones (who Leach said may be put on D right awa) and Gauta pan out, it could be a REALLY GOOD CLASS!
At the same time, relative to the rest of the conference, this group has a lot of work to do to both keep up and catch up.
We’ll be back over the next few days for more thoughts on this crew.
In the meantime, to the recruits:
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY COUGIES!!!!
You’re going to have the time of your life over the next four to five years. Congratulations on your accomplishments!
