CFN Recruiting Rankings
1.
Fresno State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... The passing game.
Even though Derek Carr, the brother of David Carr,
is likely the starting quarterback in the very near
future, the Bulldogs were able to sign Lester
Fontenette, a promising bomber from San Diego, while
Kelly O'Brien is a JUCO transfer who might end up
being the No. 2 man in the mix for the next few
seasons. The dangerous Josh Harper is a big, fast
target who combines with another good receiver,
Davon Dunn, and the 6-6 Victor Dean to load up the
team with receivers. Matt Darr is the nation's best
punting prospect.
2.
San Jose
State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
linemen. SJSU had one of the smallest classes in the country last year, and it made up for it by loading up this year for both sides of the ball. New coach Mike MacIntyre is a defensive
head coach and he needed bodies up front. He got
them, led by stud JUCO transfer Ah'Keem McKinney,
who'll likely be penciled in as a starting tackle.
JUCO transfers Andrew Moeaki and Ja'Rodd Watson also
add some instant beef up front, while speed ends
Sean Bacon, Marcus Howard, and Vince Buhagiar are
for the future.
3.
Hawaii
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
linemen. It's Hawaii so the passing game was hardly
ignored with a slew of new receivers signed to go
along with QB Kevin Spain from Arizona, but this
class is all about the defense and all about getting
better up front. There isn't the JUCO influx of last
year when head coach Greg McMackin looked to
immediately patch all the gaping holes. This is
about the strength in numbers with seven linemen of
all shapes and sizes to build around.
4.
Nevada |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
linemen. The quarterbacks were brought in last
season so the offense was taken care of. This year,
something had to be done to boost the depth on a
defense that can't stop anyone's running game. Seven
prospects were signed for the defensive line with a
premium put on speed, quickness, and pass rushing
ability. There isn't the bulk needed to clog up the
middle, but there pass rush will be a strength.
5.
Boise State
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Quality over
quantity. There simply weren't any spots to fill,
and it showed with a light class. However, the
players brought in were good ones highlighted by big
receiver Matt Miller, QB Grant Hedrick, who won't be
in the mix until at least 2013, and corner Bryan
Douglas, the next great Bronco shut-down defender.
This year's defensive line didn't need a whole bunch
of work, but it got a little boost from JUCO
transfer Tyrone Crawford, a speed rusher for the
outside.
6.
Louisiana Tech
|
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive backs.
Sonny Dykes. While the focus will be on the
quarterback and receivers in the Sonny Dykes system,
Derek Dooley brought in those prospects last year.
This year, the coaching staff, with no time to work
whatsoever, loaded up for the secondary with seven
prospects who'll be thrown to the wolves right away.
Antonio Burton, Michael Schrang, and Connor Nichols
form a solid safety trio, while JUCO transfer Ryan
Williams might be one of the WAC's best corners
right away.
7.
Idaho |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Defensive
tackles. Head coach Robb Akey brought in a varied,
diverse class with a little something for all spots,
including center with Sam Tupua possibly the next
great Vandal lineman now that Mike Iupati is gone
and Mike Marboe the anchor for the future. But the
bulk stars are on the defensive front, especially at
tackle with big, big bodies being brought in with
285-pound JUCO transfer Ben Swarts, and 290-pound
JUCO star Aaron Strumski to fill in right away.
8.
Utah State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... The passing game.
Gary Andersen spent his first season loading up on
players getting JUCO transfer after JUCO transfer,
but this recruiting season is about building for the
future. Diondre Borel is the starting quarterback
this year without question, so Alex Hart, Trevor
Brown, and Jeremy Higgins will get time to develop.
However, a few of the new receivers will be asked to
produce early on. JUCO transfers Xavier Martin and
Dontel Watkins will give Borel targets, but Shaan
Johnson will end up being the start of the passing
attack.
9.
New Mexico State |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... JUCO transfers.
DeWayne Walker struggled with his first recruiting
class, and his second one isn't all that great.
However, considering the team made decent strides
after starting from near-scratch, it was a must to
get more players who can help the team right away.
And here come the JUCO transfers with seven coming
in highlighted by OT Aundre McGaskey, who might be
an anchor from snap one. DT David Mahoney should be
a big factor right away, while QB Matt Christian
will get every chance to start.
