We couldn't locate much of anything WAC-related so here's our best shot:
Ben Golliver talks with Joe Cronin about some of the Trailblazer summer leaguers, including Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson. Go here and scroll down to the interview portion.

As a bonus:
From Dave Telep's Twitter account: "HS player on a plane last night was arrested for stealing someone's camera while they were sleeping en route to Vegas. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb."
Jeesh! How did that getaway plan work for you buddy?
The point is to steal on the court.
Beyond the obvious (that any college coach worth his salt is now crossing a certain name off his list of possible recruits - landing a thief isn't conducive to team-building), who would want the lamebrain who hatched this stroke of genius anywhere near the court, especially in any decision-making capacity?

Here's a terrific piece by Joe Posnanski on Dean Smith -- a terrific human being.

Tuesday and the WAC
The pickings are thin today...
Remember Terrance Joyner, the young man who decided to test out homeland security at the El Paso airport and ended up departing from New Mexico State? He was at Eastern Utah this past season, playing in six games, before departing from that roster. JucoJunction is now reporting that Joyner has landed back in D-1 at ... well, it's somewhere but we don't have a sub to JJ so the information is unavailable to PTW. The info will pop up elsewhere at some point and we'll report back.
*** CHECK THE COMMENTS FOR THE ANSWER -- thanks for the information ***
