MWC Recruiting Roundup 1-16-23.

It’s another week of the MWC Recruiting Roundup.

Signing Day has come and gone and now that we are back in the contact period, things are ramping up again, with a focus on transfers and 2024 recruits. Following the transfer visit weekend, there was a plethora of new commitments. As far as commitments go, 28 players committed to 10 different Mountain West teams. Air Force, Boise State, New Mexico, and UNLV all had big weeks, with each of those teams getting at least three new players. However, it was the Broncos who had the best week, with five new players joining the team. They take the cover photo this week.

Class of 2023 Cover Photo Total:

• Air Force: 7
• Boise State: 6
• Colorado State: 6
• Nevada: 5
• Hawaii: 4
• San Diego State: 4
• UNLV: 4
• San Jose State: 3
• Fresno State: 2
• New Mexico: 2
• Wyoming: 2
• Utah State: 1

Recruiting Calendar:

From January 13th until January 28th, we are in a Contact Period. This is the final stretch before the second signing period.

Next College Student Athlete defines it as:

The NCAA Contact Period is exactly what it sounds like—all communication between athletes and coaches is fair game. Coaches can email, text, call, direct message and generally contact athletes and their parents through any NCAA-approved method. In-person contact can occur on the college campus, as well as at tournaments, at the recruit’s school and home. In other words, the communication floodgates are open, so take advantage of this opportunity to get unlimited access to talk to coaches.

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: 69
