Linebacker Brad Marboe has committed to Wyoming for the 08 season. Marboe is a linebacker from Idaho Falls, ID. Looks like a pretty good class for the Cowboys so far. Good pickup.

Think they'll recruit a kicker or find one through transfer?
 
I'm more than excited about this recruiting class so far.
We're lookin at 4 defensive ends, 2 offensive tackles, 2 linebackers, 1 WR, and 1 TE.
-One of the DE's (Nick Williams from Highlands Ranch, CO)held offers from the likes of ASU and Kansas and chose WYO.
-One of the tackles that we picked up (Kyle Magnuson from Elkhart, IN) has the size to play as a freshman at 6-6.5 303 lbs
-With the linebackers we've picked up, I think Marboe may have to bulk up a little more from his 190lb frame. The SLB we got from Iowa,Ben Durbin (6'2 219 lbs), may be the gem in this draft class. Thus far Durbin racked up 104 tackles, eight sacks, and 19 tackles for a loss during a junior season in which he received All-State, All-Mid Iowa, and All-District honors.
-The TE we got (Matt Birkeness from Littleton, CO) has good size at 6'4 220lbs. As a junior he averaged 20 yds/catch.
-The WR that we got (Justin Morgan from Chicago, Il) is yet another player hailing from Mt. Carmel HS. Last year we snagged two of his teammates in Keith Lewis (projected starter at corner next year and already on special teams) and Mark Oliver (a RS Frosh LB who will also see time next year). Morgan is as tall as the Tight End we got at 6'4 and 190lbs.
I'd be lieing if I said that i wasn't extremely impressed with this class thus far. I'm really hoping we land the 3 star safety prospect from Denver (ranked as the 45th best S in the nation) after seeing what happened to us against UNM. We're also at near one of the top schools for this beastly 3 start MLB from Indiana, ranked nationally 22nd at his position.
When it comes to next years kicker, we picked up a late recruit from last year right around when school started. Hailing from Virginia, he wasn't sure till the very end where he wanted to go (UW or UVA). I'm not sure how good he is but I'm assuming he could be kicking for the job next year. Right now we're not looking at any kickers that I'm aware of. If we got a transfer it would've been better to have gotten one last year so they could sit out this season and kick next season.
 
No problem, I love talking about recruiting. By the way all of our committments are 2 stars..nothing lower. I hope we can land some good 3 stars cuz we're chasing a few..including a RB out of Denver that has 4.35 speed. Our D-line and linebackers seem to be set but I wish we'd land some more secondary..especially the corners.
If anybody wants to talk some more recruiting, that'd be cool.
 
Besides the freshman from VA we have..I'm not seeing any kicker prospects on our radar right now. Kickers can be sketchy anyway..like how Goodman was one of the top Kickers in the nation coming out of high school and look how he faired. We just gotta be patient and hope something pans out. I'm more concerned about gettin a punter to fill Vinnedge's shoes...cuz the backup blows. haha
 
We just picked up another committment, today!!
After a year in pro baseball, this Safety prospect committed to us. He was here with Marboe on his visit. I saw the guy...he's a big dude! I'm guessing he's really fast considering the baseball roots. I can't find much more on this guy besides he was an 'interception specialist' playing for Englewood, CO in h.s.
good stuff! Now i'm getting excited about this class!!
