A bit more WAC-itude for you

AW Prince at Silver&BlueSports has a video spotlight on new signee Kevin Panzer -- a sub is required.

Americanbulldog started the posting at the SCOUT Barkboard Save Mart Center basketball message board with an item about junior college backcourter Tim Steed coming to Fresno State.

We also found this: "Tim Steed, a 6-foot-4 sophomore from Highland (IL) CC, was named the Arrowhead Conference MVP. Steed has received scholarship offers from Cal State Fullerton, Fresno State and Southern Illinois. He is leading the Cougars with 16.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game."

Here's much more -- from MidStateHoops on May 2 comes this:

Highland star to west coast
May 2, 2010

Tim Steed of Highland Community College has given a verbal commitment to Fresno State. Steed ranks as the #5 sophomore in our Illinois JUCO play rankings...

Go here for the remainder.

From MidStateHoops in December 2009 is this: "Steed is a very physical perimeter player with good versatility. A natural wing, Tim is also adept to pushing the ball up the floor. He has great body control when he gets in to the paint and has the strength to finish. He’s got a quick first step and a solid jumpshot that keeps defenses honest. Steed is also a big time rebounder who has the ability to play above the rim. Motivation has been a question as sometimes Tim has been known to play ‘uninspired’, something that has been the question of Highland’s team in general. Steed has, however, been the only player on Highland’s roster to score double figures in every game."

It's non-WAC-related but George Schroeder has an article up today that must contain everything you would want to know about new Oregon mentor Dana Altman. But what's typical is that, while a shrine should be built for Altman based upon his achievements in Omaha, the feeling about his departure from Creighton can seemingly best be described with a shrug. Go figure but that's the nature of sports coaching.
