Wednesday's WAC items

TJ Taylor, a 5-foot-9 northern California point and of interest to Boise State at one point, has given a verbal to UC Santa Barbara -- go here. We just counted nine Bay Area players on the Gaucho roster -- having that beach next to campus sure doesn't hurt.

+++++

seldomseensmith at the Blue Aggies site has uncovered yet another 'big' who has a Utah State offer -- go here. Just asking: is "Matrix" the young man's middle name?

From the Flagrant Fouls site, come this September 3, 2010 item:

Q - Is there a sleeper right now you have low in your rankings that could emerge as a high major player?- Marc, Syracuse

A - Westwind Prep in Arizona has 6 Canadians on their roster, one of which is a transfer out of British Columbia named Keanau Post. At 6-10, 270 he's certainly got the size to make an impact at the high major level. He's also got good hands, back to the basket moves, and the ability to rebound his area.  If he improves his conditioning and motor, he could certainly make a serious push.

Here's a photo of Post. On the official Westwind Prep roster, he is listed as a 2012 prospect.
