Cougs in the League: Week 5 check-in on your favorite former Palouse ballers
Five weeks in, and the Cougs in the League are starting to separate themselves from the pack. Some guys are getting real rotation minutes, others are fighting for scraps, and a few are already making the kind of plays that make you text the group chat. You know the ones. The pull-up three that looks exactly like it did in Beasley. The rebound ripped out of a bigger man's hands. That quiet confidence that says, "I did this on the Palouse, I can do it anywhere."
We've been tracking these guys since they traded Pullman for pro grass, and Week 5 is where the season starts telling the truth. The early buzz fades. The real work shows. For a few of our guys, it's showing up in the box score. For others, it's showing up in the way their coaches trust them late in games. That matters.
If you want the full list of who made the leap this year, go back and read "Cougs trading Palouse grit for pro grass." It sets the table for what we're watching now. This week's check-in is about who's eating.
Go Cougs.
