Morning links: WSU’s week starts early

It’s only Tuesday morning and the Washington State men’s basketball team is already about to fly to Salt Lake City.

Because the Cougars play on Wednesday, everything is happening a little earlier this week. So, we already had our media availability with coach Ernie Kent and that transcript is included in this blog post about Brett Boese, who has emerged as one of WSU’s key players.

We also have a blog post about WSU’s newest football recruit .
