Jaycee Carroll deserves a mention in this article. A state without a club basketball team in 2012? Amazing.

Yep, non WAC-relayed but...

Coach Rodney Terry keeps at it. The Bulldogs are heading to the top of the Mountain West Conference and soon.

Nathan Kotisso writes that Terry is crowding into Big 12 territory.

Fresno State can't be happier. PTW keeps waiting for Leon Rice/Boise State to make a move up in the basketball world.

It's Monday, Monday

Really, Prince actually wrote "Manic Monday":

"It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday..."

Wednesday's WAC hoops digest

Jason Groves saves the day with a post about the Aggie team leaders come the 2012-13 season. That's a fascinating topic as Big Wen leaves behind an oversized role to fill -- let's see who comes to the fore.

Saturday's WAC rundown

Per Joey Natale, "Fresno State has offered 2013 Dallas Mustangs (TX) forward Soma Edo"

 He's 6-foot-5, 205 and listed as a power forward. A number of other mid-majors, including quite a few in Texas, have also offered. A major league athlete, his face-the-hoop skills need burnishing.

More press for Terry's recruiting prowess

Kellon Hassenstab has national praise for Coach Rodney Terry's first full group of recruits:

"While many fans are aware of the storyline that led 7-footer Robert Upshaw to Fresno State, the reality is that coach Rodney Terry’s first full recruiting class addresses the program’s needs and should set them up in good position for the future. While Upshaw is a top-50 prospect and clearly the headliner, there’s other room for excitement. 6-5 forward Broderick Newbill is a glue guy, and former Kansas-signee Braeden Anderson should have a niche in the frontcourt. Another newcomer with some acclaim is 6-3 shooting guard Marvelle Harris, reportedly one of the most underrated players in SoCal."

This is not a knock on Steve Cleveland -- simply an observation -- but are there any remaining Bulldog aficionado holdouts still believing that the change in coaches is one still open to debate?
