It’s another week of the MWC Recruiting Roundup.
The recruiting cycle is in full force. Teams will be hosting official visitors and commitments will be plentiful once again in due time. Something that seems a bit new this year is how teams are prioritizing recruits in the class of 2023 already. Perhaps teams set their sights on future classes sooner due to taking fewer high school recruits and more transfer portal players as of late.
For this week, offers were handed out, visits occurred, and new commits were announced. Of the known commitments this past week; one for Fresno State, one for New Mexico, and three for Nevada. As for the cover photo, the Wolf Pack earn a place on the banner this week.
Class of 2021 Cover Photo Total:
- Utah State: 6
- Fresno State: 5
- New Mexico: 5
- San Diego State: 5
- Air Force: 4
- Boise State: 4
- Hawaii: 2
- UNLV: 2
- Wyoming: 2
- Nevada: 2

Recruiting Calendar:
We are currently in an evaluation period from now through most of November. Athletes can visit colleges through official and unofficial visits. Just as importantly, coaches can watch players in person at their high school games. Here is the official definition:
An evaluation period is that period of time when it is permissible for authorized athletics department staff members to be involved in off-campus activities designed to assess the academic qualifications and playing ability of prospective student-athletes. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts shall be made with the prospective student-athlete during an evaluation period.
Recruits, Coaches, and Parents!

Air Force Commitment Tracker:
Since the Air Force Academy regularly has around 100 commits in each class, it’s kind of fun to track them over the course of the year.
Number of Falcon verbal commits: 42
Visit Recap:
JUCO DE Cortez Hogans (Boise State)
“I had a great time this weekend on visit the staff and players welcome me and the overall experience just felt like home, the energy at the game was different fans going crazy would love to play in front of that. But I’m looking forward to coming back again.”
Commitment Spotlight:
OL Nate Mier (Fresno State)
“I chose Fresno State because the atmosphere is incredible, there is so much pride and love for the program, they were the first program to reach out to me, in April of 2020. The coaching staff also just took me in as one of their own, even coaches and assistants that don’t coach my position write to me and treat me like Family, it reminds me a lot of my community here in the San Bernardino Mountains.”
LB Malaki Ta’ase (Nevada)
“The main reason why I picked Nevada was because I feel wanted there and at the end of the day I want to go where I am wanted. Nevada has something special going on and I want to be apart of that.”
