The Monday a.m. WAC-mobile coming at you

Boy, are we glad that all the uproar and hoopla have died down over how the Western Athletic Conference was a dominant factor in the NBA draft -- not. It's fascinating how blinders -- often self-imposed -- obscure reality. A story ripe for the writing and, quite apropos metaphorically, the ball was dropped. Guess that 4,050th story on John Wall was too compelling not to write.

Djim Bandoumel. No, he didn't score the winning goal in the World Cup -- he's an Idaho recruit out of the New York community college ranks who Vandals fans are wondering about, a la if he will be on the court in Moscow next season. Bandoumel was recently sighted on the Idaho campus but his eligibility remains up in the air. The NCAA Clearinghouse works in mysterious ways and most certainly on its own timetable. Our sense is Bandoumel will enroll and be in school even if a verdict on his eligibility remains pending. The stumbling block could be about core class acceptability or possibly when his eligibility clock began ticking
