With Darius Lemora at nickelback, there appear to be three candidates for the two starting safety positions.

We take a look at that competition in today's story for the paper. Also in the wrap we've got Jim Allen's story on WSU's ongoing search for a soccer coach. On the blog yesterday we had our practice report, a video of Mike Leach speaking after practice and we put the Five Questions to Isaac Dotson.

The Pac-12 Blog has a story from yesterday's pro day and includes Washington State's Jeremiah Mitchell on a list of impact junior college transfers.

Yesterday the Stanford basketball team won the NIT championship.

Elsewhere in the Pac-12 …

-- The Huskies had a pro day of their own.

-- Herb Sendek wrote a letter following his dismissal from Arizona State.

-- Former Washington prep Christian Behrens will not return to California next season.

-- UCLA's freshman quarterback looked good in his first real action.
