We got bigger and faster... Swen looks ready now. Welch is a stud. The scat back is quick like a mongoose. We are building something special. Props to the coaches getting it done.

Does Hudl have swen listed as the number 1 RB out of Texas.... Or am I tripping?

I didn't think Hudl is a ranking site... just a way for athletes to promote highlights, etc.

I did see that Rivals had him as a 4 star as a junior, now listed as a 2 star on their site. His 247 composite puts him around the top 25 recruits in the conference. Definitely a good get!
 
Might be one more recruit. Alonzo Hall makes his decision in about 45 minutes. Down to Wyoming, Arizona State and Fresno State (I think??? Hard to tell in the pic)...

Damn. This is a helluva recruiting class...

Wyoming is beating out teams like ASU... HELL YES!
 
On paper, this is Wyoming's best class I can remember.

There were threads earlier this season indicating that the HAPC was a waste of money. Well year 1 of recruiting results are in...

Do we have any scholarships left?

I'm not sure what the team total scholly is at but assuming that you don't exceed the maximum then a team can sign 25 recruits in a given year. I believe we are at 24 so 1 possibly remaining.

Wyoming has the 4th ranked class currently in the MWC according to 247. Last year, 247 ranked Wyoming's class dead last.
 
Fantastic job by the staff and Burman for getting them resources they need.

Also one of our highest rated classes in recent memory. Wait, recruiting rankings don't matter :whistle:

I don't see too much use in hyping this class up until these guys actually see the field and give us results. We certainly got some good recruits, but I think it's a little early to put up a mission accomplished banner on the HAPC as the be all end all fix to our football problems, as many seem to believe. 247 sports has us at 6th best recruiting class in the MWC, and 99 in the country with this class. While that's an increase from 12th in the MWC and 127th nationally in 2018, it's an identical national ranking from the 99 they had us at in 2017. That's not a bad thing to match your best class as a coach, but it wasn't a huge increase as one might expect. Also, the Glenn/Christensen transition had higher nationally ranked recruiting classes (ranging form 74th to mid 90's), at least according to 247. This is all way subjective, as you never know what you have until you get to look back at the results, but it raises several questions. Did the HAPC actually give us a good recruiting bump this year that was negated by last year's season, coaching attrition and our problems on offense? Did it make no difference and our coaches just hit another "good" class like they did in 2017? Is it somewhere in between? Five years from now we'll have a much better idea.

Aside from that, I don't think anyone ever said the HAPC would not help recruiting. It obviously isn't gonna hurt, but most of the discussion was whether we were really getting ahead of the competition vs keeping up, was the cost worth it at the time, would our bad offense and questionable coaching decisions at times offset the positives from the HAPC with recruiting in the short term, would the problems of recruiting students from across the country to a place like Laramie be offset by HAPC etc...
