Still chasing that ever elusive defensive end.

That should kill the annoying narrative, "why doesn't Wyoming offer any DEs???"

There's a handful of them above already, early in the recruiting cycle.

Oh, we recruit 'em, just can't sign 'em.

Sorry, I'm in the wrong part of the state for that. The distance between me and his school is roughly the same as from Laramie to Casper. Also remember, there are over 350 football programs in MN.

What I can tell you is that his high school Benilde-St. Margaret's plays Class AAAA football, meaning there are two classes above them (80 schools), 45 schools at same level, and 243 schools at a lower level (four classes).

They went 3-5 in the regular season, won both section playoff games, but lost in the state quarterfinal round to finish 5-6.

That's all I got.

Eric Wilson, Benilde-St. Margaret's

Death, taxes, Wyoming offers a OK kid...

hopefully deontre thomas wants to team up with chandler again. Maybe he will sign early and be another recruit that promotes Wyoming the way chandler did with getting kids wanting to come.

Really hitting Cali and Illinois hard this year. And we are always trying for those big boys up in Minn. Very impressed with these offers so far. I think it shows that Bohl and crew have had a plan in place in their recruiting tactics. I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more DE/DL and OL and TE in this group. Last year seemed to be going after backfield type players: QBs/WRs on D: CBs/S and a few Lbs.
I think we'll see some strangling pickups of LB, CB, RB and WR positions, but you can easily see this coaching staffs focus year to year.

We are the first ones to offer a few of these kids which is really good. Kids appreciate when you're their first offer.

The other thing I've noticed is we are offering kids from schools we have just recently recruited. Having a guy who has signed from the same school can't hurt the recruiting process.
