Several players stood out, including a Lynden wide receiver and Meridian linebacker, both of whom will be in Pullman next month to participate in the WSU summer team camp on June 19. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291600.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291600.html Tue, 14 May 2013 22:25:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate BELLINGHAM - True, the WSU coaches are hard at work recruiting California, Florida and Texas -- but they certainly haven’t forgotten about the Northwest. Indeed, Taylor Barton, a former Husky QB, Oregon State GA and someone who has long had his finger directly on the pulse of area recruiting, says the Cougar coaches are doing the top job in recruiting the Northwest talent. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291598.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291598.html Tue, 14 May 2013 14:54:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate IN A CAREER that has taken him from the Sun Belt Conference to the WAC, the Big 12 to the SEC, and most recently the Pac-12, Washington State assistant head football coach Eric Russell has seen just about everything the college game can dish up. But when he looks to this summer, when the NCAA plans to loosen restrictions on recruiting, this seasoned veteran sees trouble. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270526.html 2047 GREG WITTER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270526.html Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE HAS a key question to answer in spring ball on special teams. And chances are if you had three guesses, you might not get it... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270202.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270202.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:16:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate HOW MANY wide receivers do the Cougs figure to sign next February for their Air Raid offense? The number may surprise you. When CF.C asked Dave Emerick on Friday at the Cougar football celebration in Seattle, the Washington State recruiting coordinator and chief of staff broke down every position as the Cougars start crafting their 2014 recruiting class. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269648.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269648.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:50:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WSU ASSISTANT COACH Eric Russell has been a man on a mission since his arrival at WSU to improve the special teams units. This weekend, Russell and the Cougars will host a long snapper prospect who is no stranger to the Palouse. And he tells CF.C it's been a dream of his since he was a kid to don the crimson and gray. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1262699.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1262699.html Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:27:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate A THREE STAR prospect, who is committed to another Pac-12 school, tells CF.C that WSU special teams coach Eric Russell is a big reason why he’s planning on taking an official visit to Washington State in January. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252614.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252614.html Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:33:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate CHRIS MARTIN, the 4-star d-line junior college prospect out of City College of San Francisco, has become a big name since his recent official visit to Washington State. Following that trip, he said the Cougars were the No. 1 team with the junior college signing period coming up fast. Does he still feel the same way? CF.C asked him about that and more... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1249030.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1249030.html Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:52:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE PRIMARY RECRUITING focus right now is on linemen and mid-year JUCO transfers. But fast, shifty and elusive receivers are what Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense thrives on and one of this coming weekend’s official visitors could bring just that to the WSU table. The in-state product had an home visit with the Cougs on Monday night and he tells CF.C it has him ecstatic to trip out to the Palouse. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1246845.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1246845.html Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:55:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Despite leaving Saturday’s game with an apparent collarbone injury, it appears Jeff Tuel is ready to go for anything and everything football related. Also, special teams coach Eric Russell said he takes full responsibility for his squad’s actions on the field Saturday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1238984.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1238984.html Mon, 12 Nov 2012 07:31:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougars came out to the practice field Thursday night, turf dry and ready for action. By the time all were off the field, a light white film coated the surface, which could be a sign of what is to come when they face UCLA Saturday. Little came from the brief run-through, though one freshman playmaker will miss the rest of the season, while another entered the starting lineup. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1237995.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1237995.html Fri, 09 Nov 2012 05:53:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE -- Eric Russell, Washington State’s first-year assistant head football coach and special teams guru, was the featured speaker at Monday’s Cougar Club luncheon in Spokane and did his best to confine his talk to the Cougs’ upcoming game with UCLA in Pullman. But the 800-pound gorilla in the room, WSU's pratfall at Utah, kept rearing its head no matter how hard anyone tried to ignore it. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236897.html 2047 STEVE CHRISTILAW http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236897.html Tue, 06 Nov 2012 00:02:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate HE'S 6-FOOT-6, 290 POUNDS and has dominated defensive linemen using a mix of toughness and nastiness to record one pancake block after another. And late Thursday evening, the latest Washington State commit told CF.C there was no point in waiting any longer to make a decision. Matt Meyer's mind was made up: He wanted to be a Coug. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235867.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235867.html Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs buttoned up their pads, laced up their cleats and ran through their last full practice session of the week before they take on the Cal Bears Saturday in Pullman. Special teams was the name of the game on Thursday as Wazzu worked hard to clean up all the rough edges before heading into battle. And as usual, the young guns took center stage during Thursday Night Lights. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1229189.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1229189.html Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:44:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate FUTURE COUG LINEBACKER Peyton Pelluer took an unofficial visit to WSU this past weekend and he plans on going to the Seattle Game on Saturday, too. For the fourth-generation Cougar who is racking up double digit tackle numbers per game at Skyline High this season, he also had an interesting take on the loss that put the Cougars at 2-2. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1225712.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1225712.html Thu, 27 Sep 2012 18:20:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN–The Cougs came out Sunday lacking vigor, hustle and effort. Fighting sweltering heat, the Wazzu offense sputtered and failed to establish any sort of tempo. And Mike Leach wasn't pleased. He proceeded to make it very clear to the players that if the Cougs are going to go anywhere this year, it will be predicated on effort and hustle. Plus, a ST report and a corner was sporting a new cast. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212975.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212975.html Mon, 20 Aug 2012 02:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Torched for seven touchdowns in Saturday’s scrimmage, Washington State’s defense rebounded with its most complete practice of fall camp Monday. A unit that days earlier looked disoriented made a litany of big plays despite a front four depleted by injuries. The performance had one assistant coach raving after his unit slowed Mike Leach’s Air Raid Offense during the daily team session. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211302.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211302.html Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:49:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The theme of the day for the Cougs: Tenacity. A couple good “fights” in the trenches got the team riled up for most of Monday afternoon. There’s some clarity from Mike Leach on Rickey Galvin’s position, and Marquess Wilson shined. How about the kicking and punting game, and who is emerging in the return game and at the gunner spots? That and much more in today’s practice report.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209098.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209098.html Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:45:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
