Snippets from Josh Horton's article on West Coast Conference recruiting:
Loyola Marymount
Offers
* Noah Blackwell (3-star, 6-foot-1, 180 pound point guard from Woodcreek High School in Roseville, Calif.)
Blackwell, a rising point guard in the Sacramento, Calif. area, has landed an offer from head coach Mike Dunlap and the LMU Lions.
While Blackwell has a host of WCC interest, he has also garnered a lot of high-major offers. Oregon State is allegedly very interested in him and Arizona State recently offered Blackwell.

Pacific
Commits
* Anthony Townes (2-star, 6-foot-5, 200 pound small forward from Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, Calif.)
Townes is a raw, but athletic undersized big man from the Stockton area.
Out of Modesto Christian High School, a local school in the area, Townes will join former teammates T.J. Wallace and Raymond Bowles at Pacific.
Based on his highlight tapes, Bowles pure athleticism is clear. His repertoire of skills did not appear to be that vast, but looked to be a high energy floor runner that can provide the Tigers a boost in transition when the time comes.
According to Verbal Commits, Townes passed up an offer at San Jose State to play at Pacific.

Offers
* Juwan Anderson (2-star, 6-foot-0, 155 pound point guard from Suffield Academy in Oakland, Calif.)
Point guard appears to be a priority for Ron Verlin and the Tigers in the 2015 recruiting class, and Anderson is a name on the Tigers radar.
Anderson currently holds offers from low-to-high-major schools, but interest should pick up within the West Coast Conference should pick up in due time.

* Paris Austin (3-star, 5-foot-11, 155 pound point guard from Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland, Calif.)
Austin, an undersized but electric point guard, holds an offer from Pacific and host of other schools on the west coast.
At the moment, Austin is a fringe mid-major to high-major player that could blow up on the recruiting front at some point. An offer from Florida State is a big indicator of that.

* Noah Blackwell (3-star, 6-foot-1, 180 pound point guard from Woodcreek High School in Roseville, Calif.)
Blackwell, a point guard from the Sacramento area, earned an offer from the Pacific on July 28, who decided they would make a run at the sought after local floor general.
The Roseville, Calif. native has a lot of potential, and many high-major schools have identified that and offered Blackwell, including Oregon State, Arizona State, Washington State and Maryland. If the Tigers make Blackwell a priority, which they might end up doing, Blackwell might end up in Stockton. However, it appears Blackwell is destined for a Pac-12 caliber program.

Interest
* Vinnie Safin (2-star, 6-foot-4, 185 pound shooting guard from Rocklin High School in Rocklin, Calif.)
Safin, who is a native of the Sacramento Area, has been on Pacific’s radar for quite some time, according to this interview West Coast Convo did with him earlier in the spring.
As a local guy, an offer may come, but as of now he appears to be more of a back-up plan. After all, Pacific only has only scholarship to expend for the 2015 recruiting cycle.

* Jordan Roberson (NR, 6-foot-5, 160 pound shooting guard from Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova, Calif.)
Roberson, a slender two-guard from the Sacramento metro area, has been recruited by Ron Verlin and the Tigers, according to Verbal Commits.
According to this article (midmajorreport), Roberson was visited by the Pacific staff at one of his practices – or more than one, it wasn’t very specific. Also, Roberson stated he has unofficially visited Pacific.
Updated: 7/29/14
* Collin Russell (NR, 6-foot-8 power forward from Folsom High School in Folsom, Calif.)
Russell is reportedly has garnered some interest from the Pacific Tigers.
UC Davis is currently the only school to offer Russell, but don’t be surprised to see a WCC school (like Portland and Pacific) to swoop in a snag him.
