Other Vorel tweets:

"Young said that Wyoming OC Brent Vigen told him he saw many similarities on tape between Young and NDSU QB Brock Jensen."

"Aaron Young on what Vigen and Bohl told him on the phone today: 'They said that my film spoke volumes."

The dead period just limits in person contact, correct?

One phone call a week, no scouting, no campus visits, etc.

Basically this got done by film study and Bohl/Vigen talking to him. Offer made and accepted! The staff was beyond lucky Young fell right into their laps at the right time.

I'm curious. Since the spring semester has already started, how can Young come to Laramie and be part of spring ball? Doesn't he have to be a student in good standing to participate?

I believe just like in the Fall semester there is always a little grace period for students to get into classes before it is to late.

I thought classes didn't start til Monday. Following some of the players on twitter and they are still home.

Most students are just now returning to Laramie.

Classes start on Monday. Coaches haven't even contacted the current players on Wyoming's roster yet. They need to get the SC coach in Laramie and get him ready to go. I suspect they will have a team meeting once everyone is back.

It's not difficult to miss the first week of class and be just fine. The first week tends to be a waste of time.

+1

And since it is his first semester at Wyo and he is an underclassmen academically, he will likely only be taking 12 credits, in 4 very easy, 3 credit classes.

OK, that makes sense. Yeah, missing the first week isn't a big deal.
