A jam-packed Friday WAC basketball digest

Craig Hislop has a very important post up about the possibility of college athletics basketball revenue sharing -- it's overused, including by PTW, but this is a must read.

Just as important is Sam Wasson/Bleed Crimson being all over the new NCAA APR proposal. Plus, Sam generously offers links galore on the subject. Picture this: Utah State versus Idaho consisting of the WAC tourney? Otherwise, what would happen if either of the above don't take the tourney and overall records exclude the Aggies and Vandals from an at-large bid? Would the default then be which of the two had the best conference record? Or the highest RPI?

+++++

Not to rain on his parade (hey, that's impossible, plus Wendell is PTW's choice for MVP in the WAC next season) but look at YayAreasFinest mixtape on McKines in the SF Pro-Am and you'll notice how different the play is outside of organized college hoops. In summer, most of the time there are very few defenders in the paint while the opposite is true November through March.

Speaking of W, ESPN's Diamond Leung offers a feature.

+++++

Dave Rogahn covers the state of California basketball. Here he makes mention of former Louisiana Tech star Kyle Gibson, Wendell McKines and former San Jose Stater Justin Graham.

+++++

Dayton Morinaga reports it's Jefferson and not Bermudez in with UH basketball. Dayton also has trip updates here and here. Scott Fisher still has ice in his veins.

+++++

Stacy Davis, a 6-foot-7 Arizona 2012 prepster, has offers from Utah State and Fresno State as well as many others -- Anthony Ray has the details (a Rivals sub is required).
