Thursday's WAC hoops notes and link collection

LA TECH athletics makes it official on Chris Anderson, an athletic talent who should thrive in Coach Mike White's fast-paced system.

Philip Pongratz has tweeted: "Congrats to @LATechHoops Brandon Gibson and Romario Souza for graduating today and recently walk across the stage "

Gibson redshirted his second year due to injury and has one season of remaining eligibility. Souza earned his degree in two seasons, a pretty impressive feat nowadays.

Caught this item in the prep notebook of Tony Ciniglio and Dave Thorpe on 6-foot-2 senior SoCal guard Kajon Mack: "Mack was the last to sign. He was choosing between Tulane and New Mexico State..."  

Does Coach Menzies still have a schollie available or was this earlier interest?

Fallout because of the 'I don't know who my bride is going to be at the wedding' conference realignment mess, from Andy Katz: "Boise State is having a difficult time finishing its nonconference schedule because the Broncos still don’t know what league they will be in 2013-14. The Big West has left the door open for Boise State to seek an invitation. Boise State is committed to the Big East in football so the MWC seems out. The only other option is to continue with the plan of going to the crumbling WAC. Boise State coach Leon Rice doesn’t know, though, if he can schedule Big West or WAC teams in nonconference games. He’d love to schedule MWC teams, but isn’t 100 percent sure the Broncos are out so he’s hesitating. Rice said long-term scheduling is impossible at this point."

A tweet from the Grand Rapids Storm: "CONGRATS to 2010 Storm Alum Chris Anderson (6'5 SF Reeths Puffer/Weatherford CC) & his family on his commitment to Louisana Tech! Go Storm!"

The uber-athletic Anderson averaged 14 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals per game last season, shooting 43% overall, 30% from three and 58% from the foul line.

Earlier reports indicated Central Michigan and St. Bonaventure were interested. 

He committed to Toledo coming out of high school back in 2009. Here's more.
