Here's a look at what the 7-foot junior college transfer brings to the Cougars next season.
Ernie Kent put the finishing touches on what has become a monstrously large 2015 class on Monday when 7-foot junior college center Conor Clifford signed a letter of intent to play at WSU in 2015-2016. He'll have two years to play two seasons.
If you read about Clifford's commitment on Monday, you already know WSU beat out Utah and South Carolina for the one-time UC-Irvine player. In fact, Clifford's coach at Saddleback College told Jacob Thorpe that Clifford had 55 scholarship offers, which seems kind of crazy until you remember that, yanno, he's 7 feet tall, which means that beyond the high major interest Clifford received, there probably isn't a mid-major in the country that wouldn't have loved to have him.
