It's been a pretty good week up in Pullman, Wash. A few days after locking up in-state forward Brett Boese, Ken Bone and the Cougars scored again.

Late Wednesday night, multiple sources confirmed with Rivals.com that Richard Longrus is a Cougar.
A 6-foot-7 combo forward from Oakland (Calif.) Bishop O'Dowd, Longrus is one of the class of 2012's ultimate glue guys.
He rebounds aggressively on both ends, will defend the three or the four, and is a sneaky baseline forward. Most of all, he turns up the energy on both ends whenever he's in the game.
A three-star prospect who spent the past few summers running with the Oakland Soldiers, Longrus joins Boese and three-star big man Richard Peters to make up the Cougars 2012 recruting class.
