Italy trip a needed start to the 2011-12 WSU basketball season

((Excerpt))

Hey, everyone. So, I take a week off work and some WSU news comes out.

Not only did the Raiders officially sign West Virginia guard Jason Cuffee to a letter of intent (some feel the combo player who was also a star quarterback at Poca High School could have an immediate impact), but coach Billy Donlon and his program announce they’re going to Italy.

These trips have been common for college basketball programs hoping to either relieve stress for players or build camaraderie. With no players on the 2011-12 roster who have been with the program for more than one season, this year is a great choice for such an international trip.
