State of the Beavs: A 4-Star Tight End Comes Home + The WCC Gets Tougher

Your host Matt Bagley dives into what Williams can bring to the table as well as some of the Beavs' other recent pieces. Plus, both Beaver basketball squads have tough months ahead of them, including a #18 Gonzaga team that comes to Corvallis to January 16. Go Beavs.
