MWC Recruiting Roundup 9-13-21. The latest news, offers, and interviews.

It’s another week of the MWC Recruiting Roundup.

The calendar has turned to September and recruiting will be gaining steam over the next few weeks as we hit the prime period of the recruiting cycle. Teams will be hosting official visitors and commitments will be plentiful once again in due time.

For this week, there were a few different things going on. Offers were plentiful, especially for Fresno State and Nevada. There were four known Mountain West commitments, with Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, and UNLV all gaining new commits. As for the cover photo, Fresno State seemed to cover the most ground in recruiting, offering eight players and laying the groundwork for the 2023 class as well.

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.

Also, September 1st is the first day schools can actively recruit players in the 2023 class through letters, emails, texts, and social media.

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: 38

Commitment Spotlight:

JUCO DE Isaiah Sayles (UNLV)

“I chose UNLV because of the progressive culture change going on there. The coaches & I have gotten along great & I feel it was a great fit scheme wise also. Them being honest In the recruitment process. I'm an older guy so they didn’t have to “sell” me into coming to UNLV. UNLV & is getting an explosive, cerebral player who’s going to wreck shop in the backfield.”

LB Marquis Jones (New Mexico)

“I chose to go to New Mexico because I have had awesome conversations with the coaching staff, they made me feel good about what they can offer, I’m ready to work!!
