Morning links: Dillon Faamatau to WSU

The lack of a defensive coordinator does not appear to be hurting Washington State on the recruiting front. 

Dillon Faamatau has decided to play for WSU, according to Britton Ransford. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive tackle from Norwalk, California chose WSU over reported scholarship offers from Arizona State, Colorado, Utah and others.

He is the seventh player that is expected to play defense to declare for WSU while the Cougars have been searching for a defensive coordinator, although one player, DeVante Wilson, now says that he will attend California instead.

Faamatu visited Pullman in early October and will sign on February 4, with the rest of the class of 2015.
