Morning links: A good day for WSU
Yesterday was a pretty good day for the Washington State athletic programs.
The good news started in the morning, when highly-regarded junior college center Conor Clifford sent in his Letter of Intent, giving Ernie Kent a 7-foot center for next season and his biggest recruiting win since arriving in Pullman. We have a story on the signing and a blog post with Kent's comments.
Things continued into the afternoon with freshman Derek Bayley leading the Cougars to a great start in the Pac-12 golf championships, which are being hosted by WSU.
The WSU baseball team capped off the evening by beating Washington in a nonconference game in Seattle, their third win over the Huskies this year.
In other WSU news, Jayson Jenks of the Seattle Times has this feature on Connor Halliday, and Bob Meseroll of the Missoulian caught up with Joe Pistorese. The Pac-12 Blog has a story about defensive coordinator Alex Grinch's desire for takeaways.
