Tevis

Petersen is going to do well at Washington. I'm not sure we ever beat out P5 for our State recruits.

Our High School leagues aren't as good as other States at developing talent. Our in-State success will rely on identifying raw talent and then developing it.

I don't think Brett Keisel was highly recruited, right? I wonder how many kids like that actually slip through the cracks? Regardless, Wyoming just doesn't have a lot of CFB talent.

Yep. I just hate to see Wyo players go out of state. I am glad it wasn't Utah or CSU. That would have stung worse.

Bohl has his work cut out for him. Let's be honest, the majority of our recruiting battles are FCS schools. Even when you look at some of our "bigger" commitments this year, the list of their offers are fairly minimal.

Next up, Porter Gustin coming to WY!!! Where is Mr. Large to confirm this?

I will just add that if you look at who Wyoming competed with in the past, many of the recruits didn't have other offers. And, we are not just competing with FCS schools for recruits. We've won recruiting battles against a few FBS schools. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a recruit we are after who has mainly fcs offers

He is getting recruits based off his name alone. If and when we start putting a winning product on the field, we'll see an upgrade in the recruiting level.

ps. Who is USU winning recruiting battles against?

What? Most of our players did not have any other FBS offers. Wick didnt. He has said in interviews he came to wyo because it was his only FBS offer.

And USU started winning recruiting battles with byu and even utah all because of Gary Andersen. Andersen had been recruiting the state of utah for so long by the time he got to logan he was able to steal those kids.

if bohl is going to do that we need him recruiting minnesota, the dakotas, and nebraska.
 
Washington. Now that he chose to go elsewhere, we can all wish him well but stop talking about him. Let the Huskies get excited over him now.

I am not turning this into a pissing match USU vs Wyo. USU is in the same boat as Wyo in many facets. My point was that very rarely do we win recruiting battles versus any legit FBS schools. We get all excited about guys like Tevis and I need to temper those expectation. Simply put, Wyoming players are guys that need a chance. Trust me, I love that the Pokes are made up of guys that maybe "no one else wanted." That said, we very rarely get players who PICKED us over a legit FBS school.

Would you consider ANY of these offers from other schools "big time"

Brett Smith - New Mex State, SJSU and Eastern Washington

Shaun Wick - Northern Col and Sacramento State

CJ Johnson (Our "bigtime recruit" from this year ...GATORADE PLAYER OF THE YEAR IN NEBRASKA mind you)
Offers? - Illinois State, Liberty (Where the hell is that), NDSU, Ohio, South Dakota State, Western Michigan

Brian Hill - Only offer was from UW

Marqueston Huff - Only offer from UW

Gibson was a great pickup. I see some legit schools on there.

This is interesting looking at all of our offers, and who we were competing against. There are some great gets on there for sure. Give me a guy like Wick over some 3 star entitled guy any day

Oh...I thought ya'll were saying it was Utah. I've been busy lately...

Washington? Not going to lie, that came out of nowhere. Few knew they were even involved.

I pulled a wedding nighter. Prematurely spilled the info. I read it wrong on twitter.
 
Can't even get local 3 star recruits and I was hoping for a 4 star some day. Good luck tevis. Don't come back

Oh really? Did you forget about the huge post you made months ago where you talk about him non-stop?

Here I go again...if he doesn't pick Wyoming I'll have little interest in his decision or how he fares wherever else he might decide to go.

Blah blah blah blah, what is this garbage letter? You already disappointed a whole state and now you rub it in? Just go away already. Definitely not a true Cowboy. Hope you don't ride the pine for four years.

Maybe a bit odd that a youngster even feels he needs to write such a letter, but he did it with class. I'm hoping he kicks butt as a Husky...just maybe hoping a little harder for whomever coach Bohl puts under center for the Pokes.

To be perfectly honest I don't see how anyone here even thought he had considered Wyoming. Back when the original thing stated up about him saying Wyoming was one of his top schools at that time he clearly said he didn't say that and he listed schools he planned on visiting.

If you don't schedule an official visit you have little to no interest in the school plain and simple. However at no point and time did I ever think realistically he would come to UW.
