Tuesday's WAC report

AW Prince at Silver and Blue Sports offers a piece on a Chicago prepster apparently of interest to Nevada, Jamall Millison, a 2012 prospect.

Ferd Lewis says the WAC should be inspired by the late Johnny Cash's song "A Boy Named Sue" -- with all emphasis on the last word.

Here's a Jack Carey/USA TODAY-penned summary of the state of the WAC.

Coach Marvin Menzies has added a former southern California prep star -- Tom Lewis -- to his staff as the coordinator of player development. Former Aggie Chris Gabriel played for Lewis at Junipero Serra High.

Here is a 1985 Los Angeles Times column by Chris Dufresne that takes satire to a whole 'nother level.

Andre Almeida is a 7-footer out of the Arizona juco ranks who signed with Nebraska. His connection was Walter Roese, a fellow Brazilian and a Cornhusker assistant at the time, who was later hired at Hawaii by Gib Arnold. Some UH fans were hoping Almeida would follow Roese to the islands but that didn't happen. Almeida would have become a starter in the middle for the Rainbow Warriors but we just saw a note that he his on campus in Lincoln -- so that candle flame can be extinguished. Roese also is credited for the earlier Nebraska signing of center Vander Joaquim, another native of Brazil who had to attend an Arizona juco due to academics, but someone who did sign with UH this year.
