Damn it

I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

pretty nice recruiting for coming on the scene so late. I guess it will take Leach a couple of years to get things on track. Do they have a decent QB at least?

Pssh, all the hot chicks are at Washington.

Just a wild guess. Pullman,Wa doesn't have much of a social scene

They have 2 returning QB's with starting expeience.
With Marks onboard, and a dozen or so more recruits visiting this weekend, this should be interesting.
The Pirate might be up and running sooner than expected.

This makes me wonder why Arizona and others passed on him. Leach can recruit.

They'll be in a bowl next year, Leach has never had a problem developing QBs and he has a few good options already on the roster. Leach likes to sub receivers a lot so Marks should be a key contributor right away.

Don't kid yourself, Wazzu was 6 points away from going to a bowl this season and their team was pretty damn awful. Wazzu will be in a bowl next season and Marks will be a big part of the turnaround. Washington State may be in the middle of nowhere and their degrees may be worth less than snotty tissue but they're in a top football conference and they just bagged themselves a legit coach, their days of being a doormat are over.

Agree. Leach > Price and price went to the damn Rose Bowl.

Bledsoe
Leaf
Gesser

All lit it up for wazzu. Some QB in the next couple years will shatter all their records under leach

Price was a decent coach but the '98 cougars got to Rose on a very down year for USC. They still beat wsu 42-14. But you are right, so many bowls have given a lot of space to pac12 teams.

Go Ponies!
