Sunday's WAC news and notes

The Brady Heslip Watch continues unabated. Nothing new on his Twitter account as yet (although he gives Aggie fans a dose of panic before pulling it back)

Matt Sonnenberg checks in with some early predictions on next season's WAC finish.

Joe Santoro offers a 'Luke and Armon We Hardly Knew Ye' column.

Chris Murray provides a post featuring the question about Luke Babbitt's upside, or possibly lack thereof. Maybe we are WAC-biased or even Luke-biased but all boils down to this for PTW: it's a guarantee (and there aren't many of those in the NBA draft when you get into picks 12-20) that Babbitt will do everything possibly to maximize the level potential he has. It's also a guarantee that he will be an upstanding NBA citizen. He can shoot inside and most definitely outside and can board at an NBA level. Yes, a GM might select a player with far less present production but a seemingly higher ceiling but consider how many of those choices/reaches have actually worked out well in the last decade?

We offer a big-time thank you to Dayton Morinaga/Honolulu Advertiser for his superb coverage of UH basketball. The HA is disappearing into the ether tomorrow but we're hoping the powers-that-be at the Star Bulletin make a move on him.

Former Boise recruit Chris Kupets just made a curious decision. The junior college backcourter signed on with Utah (aka The Revolving Door For Players)  right after acclaimed juco point, Josh Watkins did so. This article labels Kupets a combo guard despite his 5-foot-11 height.

The 6-foot Watkins just won the most valuable player award at the national junior college tourney in which his team triumphed as detailed here. Can Coach Jim Boylen play a pair of 'smalls' at the same time in the backcourt?
