Tuesday: Links with recruiting



Story of the day:

Welcome, Malcolm Johnson [OregonLive Blog]

The big recruits just keep coming.

Boise State got a verbal commitment from Barlow High (Oregon) RB Malcolm Johnson, one of the top-rated running backs in the state.
"I really wanted to commit early and then focus on my senior year," Johnson said.
We really wanted you to commit, too.

Johnson's junior season numbers were outrageously great and not at all congruent with the offers he had received.
Johnson, who led Oregon’s Class 6A in rushing with 2,514 yards last season, chose the Broncos over offers from Portland State and Air Force.
Hmm, Portland State, Air Force, or five-time WAC champion and national darling Boise State? We like that our recruits can problem solve, too.

  1. Now THIS is the harvest that the Fiesta Bowl victory has sown. Last year we saw some of the rewards, but a lot of big time guys had already gave verbals to other places before our coaches could get in the door.

    This year, we're the ones getting some of those early commits.

    It's an exciting time to be a Bronco

  2. I'm amazed that Johnson didn't have more schools knocking on his door. I know it was early and all, but kudos to the Boise State staff for locking up a premier talent when they had the chance.

    And kudos to the Fiesta Bowl for the exposure and opportunity.
