CougCenter: Very few things get WSU fans excited like landing four-star recruits, mostly because it happens so infrequently for the school’s highest-profile programs. The football program has landed 16 of them — total — since 247sports/Scout.com started tracking composite ratings about 20 years ago; basketball has signed just five. Five!
So, when Kyle Smith, on the heels of a much improved season, signed a trio of players who were rated as four stars by at least one recruiting service as part of a class that ranks as the best in school history, fans sat up and took notice.
