MWC Recruiting Roundup 12-19-22. The last roundup before Signing Day.

It’s another week of the MWC Recruiting Roundup.

Every team is making a final push before signing day on Wednesday. As can be seen below, there were lots of new offers, visitors, and new commitments entering the fold for their teams. Also, the decommittments keep coming (5 known ones). This week, 10 of the 12 teams handed out new offers. Plus, as you can see, transfer players are getting offers too.

Several teams hosted a number of visitors for future classes, although not as many as previous weeks. and 9 teams added at least 24 new verbal pledges to their classes. A number of teams had good weeks, notably Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawaii, SDSU, and Utah State. For all of their efforts with offers and securing six new known commits, the Bulldogs takes the cover photo this week.

Recruiting Calendar:

From now until January 13th, we are in a Dead Period.

Next College Student Athlete says:

The most restrictive of all the recruiting periods is the NCAA Dead Period. During the dead period, coaches may not have any in-person contact with recruits and/or their parents. In other words, coaches are not allowed to talk to recruits at their college campus, the athlete’s school, an athletic camp or even the grocery store.

While the term “dead period” makes it seem like all recruiting stops during this time, that’s actually not the case. Athletes and coaches are still allowed to communicate via phone, email, social media and other digital communication channels. While NCAA Division 1 programs are prohibited from conducting any in-person recruiting, D1 college coaches can still contact student-athletes via digital forms of communication during the dead period.

Air Force Commitment Tracker:

Since the Air Force Academy regularly has by far the most commits among Mountain West recruiting classes, it’s kind of fun to track them over the course of the year.

Number of Falcon verbal commits: 56

Visit Recap

Commitment Spotlight

JUCO DE Cian Stone (Utah State)

“I really loved the campus and the coaching staff and I feel like the defense Utah State runs really plays to my strengths as a player. They showed me great hospitality and I had a great time on my official visit. The community surrounding the school is awesome and it’s a great place to play football.”

Bricen Brantley (Wyoming)

“The reason I choose Wyoming was because I felt wanted. Going on the visit all the coaches knew who I was. Usually you’d greet the coach with “ hi im such and such” but every coach came to me saying hi bricen. It had me in shock I didn’t know what to say. The students that showed me around campus and gave me the tour made sure everything was ok, if I needed some water or anything is wrong. Everyone was just nice and peaceful. The game day atmosphere made it wayyy better hearing the roaring crowd just made me want to come to Wyoming even more.”
