After playing limited minutes for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Summer League, Low decided to take his game to Australia. Here's the release from WSU:

I didn't have time to give you my quick thoughts on the Cougars defense in 2008 in my last blog...so here we go (I'm sure you've been waiting anxiously).
Washington State's defense allowed 302 points last year (the second worst figure in the Pac-10...only ahead of Washington (321)) and I think you can expect more of the same this season. I'm guessing there will be some high scoring shootouts in our future.

The NBA Summer League got started Friday night in Las Vegas. There are three Cougars on summer rosters. Kyle Weaver is playing for Charlotte, Derrick Low is with the Mavericks, and Jeff Varem is playing for Denver.
Weaver started tonight in Charlotte's summer league opener against the Clippers. I didn't get to see the game (it wasn't televised), so the box score is all I have to go by. His stat line was mediocre (again...I didn't see t...

Three Cougars were picked in the Major League Baseball draft just about a month ago. I figured it was time to give you an update on how they're doing in their professional careers. Once I started looking up their stats...I went a little crazy and started looking up every Wazzu alum I could find (who is still playing baseball of course).
Here's what I found (2008 stats only):

Washington State wide receiver Brandon Gibson was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List. The Maxwell Award is given annually to the nation's most outstanding player.
Gibson, who thought about entering the NFL Draft (thank goodness he didn't), led the Pac-10 in receiving last year with 1,180 yards. That's also a WSU single-season record.
Needless to say, Gibson is going to be a key to the Washington State offense this year, but ...
