Will this move hurt season ticket sales? (Poll)

selahcoug — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:17:16 -0000

I didn't really want to do another poll and take away from Johnnycoug's poll, but I am just curious if this move will really alienate the regular customers, the season ticket holders. Are people just looking at this for convenience or is it something the customer wants. I could have just said season ticket holder or not, but I really wanted to see if it is also dependant on where people live. Plus, it could give a sample of where the season ticket holders come from.

Let's talk replacements for Chadwick/Boeke

selahcoug — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:58:26 -0000

I was looking through the recruiting databases and there are a couple of committed to other school guys, that don't appear to have signed LOI's yet. The new LOI signing period starts here shortly. Any way there are two that look like possibilities for Bone.

One is Angus Brandt, who was being recruited by WSU, but there didn't appear to be any openings at the time. He is a native Australian and ended up committing to Oregon State.

The other is a Washington kid who from some articles I have seen, may have been recruited by PSU, so Bone may be familiar with him. He has size, but looks to have committed to N. Illinois. His name is David Wink. I know nothing about him other than the stuff listed on the recruiting websites.

Anyone else have any possibilities?

Bennett to Virginia?

selahcoug — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:47:43 -0000

Someone in Pullman tell me it is not true. I am hoping this is a mistake, that it is Randy Bennett that is going there. He turns down Indiana and Marquette, closer to home and LSU close to the in-laws for Virginia? It just doesn't make any sense. I am hoping it is false, but the Times has run with it so I don't know. Do we hire from the staff to keep the continuity? Ben Johnson, Woodley? We saw how that worked out in football so I don't know.

St. Mary's Matchups

selahcoug — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:35:06 -0000

Let me preface this by saying that I have not watched St. Mary's at all and am going just by what I have read. It sounds that they have 3 main players in Mills, Simpson and Samham. I look at the matchup like this:

1: Rochestie vs. Mills, both are good, but it sounds like St. Mary's has the advantage
2: Klay vs. Hughes/Hunter advantage WSU
3: Does it really matter, anyone pretty much has the advantage over WSU here
4: Simpson vs. Forrest, sounds like advantage St. Mary's and will probably need more Casto.
5: Baynes vs. Samham, again both are good, but I would have to say advantage WSU.

They have a deeper rotation as far as the number of guys that get time, though it seems they mainly have 7-8 getting the majority and most of the guys who play seem to be guards. I guess without any other knowledge I would have to give this a push. Looks like they have the advantage with guards and the Cougs have the advantage with bigs. We'll see how the fouls go.

Looking at their roster they have one other big body if their big guy gets into trouble, other than that, most of the playing time goes to other guards. I think Capers and Nik will help on D. Looks like Forrest may be outmatched here so Casto should get some good minutes if he can stay out of foul trouble. I think the biggest challenges are going to be Mills and Simpson, probably Simpson the most. If they don't call ticky tack calls, Baynes should negate Samham and hopefully get him in foul trouble, if they double, Forrest could be open, but then Forrest might not be the best option for D.

I think our biggest advantage in this one could be Klay, as long as he does better than he did in the Pac-10 tournament. It doesn't appear that they have anyone who can match up with him. Hopefully he gets going early. Looks like they will either have to put a shorter guard on him or a forward who probably isn't used to guarding out there.
