The Cougars were off from spring practice yesterday but it was still a busy day in Pullman.

The day began with Connor Halliday and Vince Mayle's pro day. The two Cougars performed in front of 13 scouts from NFL teams despite rain, wind, and even just a little snow.

In the paper today we have a story from the event and also a blog post detailing how the duo performed.

Later in the day, 4A basketball Player of the Year Viont'e Daniels decided to play for Ernie Kent at WSU. I spoke with Daniels and his high school coach, yielding this blog post and story.
