A few additional Tuesday WAC links

With a tip o' the hat to Travis Mason-Bushman/Vandal Nation, Scott Ficklin/True Blue A is preparing to go Cougar hunting (and were not talking about the Demi Moore type). He finishes with an instructional note containing four requests. Check that, we think they are orders.

Here's a look at Hawaii's November signee Jordan Coleman courtesy of Tom Nolan/California Preps:

Jordan Coleman - 6'4 175 Senior - Calabasas

Coleman has flown under the radar ever since his transfer to Calabasas from Granada Hills before the start of last season but that should all change this season. The smooth, athletic wing who has already signed with the University of Hawaii will be counted on heavily this season with the departure of Evan Smith who dominated the Coyotes offensive sets last season.

Coleman showed glimpses of what he is capable of down the stretch last season after Mark Jackson Jr. quit the team. He had offensive outbursts not just in scoring but in assists and rebounding as well. Those outbursts, much to the chagrin of opposing coaches, should become the norm this season for Coleman who is a quiet and unselfish leader capable of taking over a game at a moment's notice. This season should be one where Calabasas, led by Coleman, should re-establish themselves as an elite team in the Marmonte League.
