poop like this confuses me, Now we don't know much about the kid but being from this area I'd expect more recognition from Colleges recruiting him. He scored 21 TD's in his senior season and I can't find anything bad related to trouble he might have been in.

This probably didn't help things

Donovan Rooks was sidelined most of his junior season with an ankle injury.

I understand where you are coming from but that was his junior year, With a senior year being that solid it should say he healed fine. Would be different if it said missed junior year with ACL/MCL Surgery.

Hmm...that is weird. Decent size, good stats, 40 isn't outstanding, but you can tell from the film he has good game speed. Only thing I can think is that maybe he is a military kid and has his heart set on Army, so after he got that offer he didn't bother with any others.

Don't always believe the listed measurables. Good chance they're embellished, maybe even severely embellished.

IDK about that, I swear I could run a 4.1 40 like my tape said. No coaches looked at me though ;)
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Once I saw his two friends committed there was pretty sure we had lost him. Better now instead of 2 years in.

GoWyoGo confirms Roddie will be in Laramie this weekend. He would be far and away Wyoming's best recruit if he commits.

I'm not sure, but he would be a good get.

According to the other board, the Pokes just got a big verbal from former Oregon State commit Dameon Baber. Very good get.

Go Pokes!!

Tyrone Miller - http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/r ... ler-163365" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He will be here this weekend for a recruitment trip as well so seems there will be a lot of potential players in the AA hope it's a great showing with good fan support.

This is what I'm talking about! No more "diamonds in the rough" who turn out to be part just part of the rough. No more guys with only Big Sky offers. This program will turnaround as quickly as Wyoming begins to recruit like winning programs do. This is a great start.

This is a Craig Bohl thing, It's his legacy and him knowing how to properly sell a program to a recruit. I know it sounds unlikely but by his 4th full recruiting class he will have at least one 4 star player on the field and we haven't seen that at Wyoming since 2002.

It's entirely possible. Hawaii and Fresno both have a commit each from a 4-Star recruit, and Boise State is nabbing several 4-star recruits every class. Sell the kid an up-and-coming program and potentially a bit of early playing time, and Bohl could absolutely lure a 4-star recruit to Laramie.
