WSU Basketball lands a prized recruit

Good morning! Sunday is a big day for the Washington State Cougars athletic department, for reasons we will address further on. But the Cougar basketball team made the biggest headlines on Saturday, securing a verbal commitment from highly-touted prospect Adam Njie.

Njie (prounounced EN-jeye), who has prepped in both Arizona and New York, gave coach Kyle Smith his pledge after fielding offers from several other power conference schools, including Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Illinois, TCU and Miami. 247 lists Njie as a combo guard, and ranks him in the Top 150 nationally (144 to be exact), so needless to say, this is one of the better high school recruits that WSU has tentatively brought into the fold.
