Glimmer of hope for McClure?

After recent events with Brady Hoke making a push for McClure's services at Michigan, it would appear that Michigan might be out of the running. Michigan just secured the verbal of another 4 star DB named Blake Countess last night. Does this mean they are no longer offering McClure? Does this mean an even greater chance of landing him for the Broncos? Signing day is soon and this would be huge.

Meet our newest recruits

Adam Sheffield, a 6'5'' 300 pound offensive tackle from San Jose. Looks like another overlooked kid but he has good size.

We apparently have recruited a kicker from the JC ranks who is 5'6'' 160 pounds, which makes me wonder if BSU isn't having success recruiting a kicker from the high school ranks. The kid must be good since BSU isn't too fond of taking a lot of JC recruits.

is now listed as a soft verbal to Michigan and now he is going to visit Miami. This kid cant make up his mind. Any chance we can get him back or has coach Pete and co. moved on over this wish wash kid?
"Chaminide Prep College’s Matt Goudis has been committed for to Michigan for less than a month and is already planning to take a visit elsewhere. That place will be Coral Gables (FL), to visit the University of Miami who recently named Al Golden head coach. GBW chatted with Goudis for the latest."
Recruiting notes

I only have a couple to pass on, but I wouldn't mind hearing more if anyone has some notes to share on this thread.
Sam Ukwuachu is apparently being recruited to BSU as a receiver and not DE. Eric Agbaroji is being told he will play on special teams and see the field a little as a true freshman.........although I think thats probably just the coaches telling him he possibly could if he is good enough coming in. Agbaroji also was awarded 1st team all area.
This just in.......Rees Odhiambo is a big boy http://www.maxpreps.com/photo/gallery.aspx?athleteid=1a5a589c-d39a-45e3-a170-9bbc847658ef&imageid=a22621d1-73db-47da-85c9-f0de82f688a4&ssid=12962347-09a5-472f-9657-920aeaafd78b#imageid=a22621d1-73db-47da-85c9-f0de82f688a4
Not much, but its something. If anyone else has anything please share, I like to keep up on recruiting.
"This subject was brought up on Idaho SportsTalk yesterday. Will Boise State be ready to play in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas? In the back of many minds is the 2007 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, when Boise State elected to pass on the Humanitarian Bowl for a trip to Honolulu. The Broncos had a great time over there—and lost the game to East Carolina, 41-38. Also out there is a perception the Broncos just want to get this season over with. Bowl practices have always been considered a huge advantage for a program’s big picture, kind of "mini-spring football." But the Broncos aren’t getting all of their allotted postseason practices in because of finals this week and the early date of the game. Still hard to fathom this team not having that edge to it for the matchup with Utah".-courtesy of Tom Scott
I could not have said this better myself. I've been worried about the same thing. Many fans think we are just going to walk in there and blow Utah out. I dont think we will, in fact we might lose this game. This reeks of the Hawaii Bowl all over again. The vibe I've been getting around Boise and on campus is that no one cares, our season ended with Nevada. The players even elected to go to this bowl just to get it over with. I for one wanted the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl not for the opponent, but for the extra practices it gave the younger players. Repetition is vital for these guys. Just my two cents.

"Football fans in the South like to say that Boise State would never survive an entire season in the SEC, and to them I say: This is not the season to test that theory."
Quite the gem by the Fresno Bee. Good read.

check out what Herbstreit says about BSU on the Gameday Final.
SOS and computer rankings
interesting to see the SOS of some of these teams, BSU is tied with Alabama on SOS. How does Oklahoma have an SOS of 20??? these computers are glitched. Funny seeing Utah with an SOS of 119. TCU with a better SOS? Get real
For those Tyrone Crawford fans out there
"A friend e-mailed me yesterday and asked if Tyrone Crawford was still with Boise State. I replied, "Yes, Crawford’s still on the roster. Why?" The friend said he was just surprised he hadn’t heard anything about Crawford, the Broncos’ lone junior college transfer. That changed later in the day when Petersen raved about the 6-4, 275-pound Canadian from Windsor, Ontario. "He’s as big and strong and fast as anyone we have right now," said Petersen. "Just getting him dialed into our schemes—we’ll see how long that takes." Boise State had been recruiting Crawford heavily in high school (that’s how the staff discovered Michael Atkinson), but Crawford had to go the JC route at Bakersfield College because of academics. The Bronco staff stayed on him (and Crawford never wavered), and he appears ready to pay some dividends."

heres the depth chart released for WAC media days. Some interesting stuff going on heading into fall camp.
Its confirmed, Brian Murphy loves OBNUG
Giving the OBNUG crew another shout out.
Very interesting............
what if scenario. Check it out
Troy Ware grayshirting
Puzzling to me, considering that ESPN had him as our highest rated recruit last year and had this to say about him............."Ware has the size, athleticism and playing speed for the wide receiver position at the major level of competition. He shows good production with the ability to be creative after the catch. Demonstrates a smooth release off the line of scrimmage; has enough immediate speed to force defenders out of"...........................sorry, im not an ESPN insider so i dont know the rest.
Jeremy Ioane Article
"A violent force in the defensive backfield at Punahou High School in Honolulu. His ability to punish the opposition strikes fear in the hearts of ball carriers who anticipate a collision from Ioane. Runs like a free safety, hits like a linebacker. Accelerates through the ball carrier, picking up speed as he begins his descent. Stops runners in their tracks. Ioane doesn’t tackle people; he pulverizes them. He doesn’t just enjoy contact; he craves it."
I dont know who i have a bigger man crush on, this kid or Doug Martin. I cant wait to see this kid play on the blue. His highlight video is insane
Idaho Statesman showing OBNUG some love
Murphy is showing the OBNUG crew some love. Near the bottom of the article.
Big man on campus
Bronco mens bball has signed a youtube phenom to play. He's 7'1'' and 250 pounds.
Jeff Worthy, DT, fifth verbal for 2011
This kid turned down Az St., Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon St, UCLA, and Wazzou to come to Boise State. Great get by the coaches.

A serious debate
by Agent_Orange1982 on Nov 1, 2009 6:05 PM EST

Lets debate who's the greater receiver, Austin Pettis or Jeremy Childs?
I feel that Austin Pettis (while his career isn't through yet) is already the better receiver than Childs was. He simply doesnt drop passes outside that bizarre drop in the SJSU game. Pettis is on track to break records at BSU this year as only a junior, and if he increases his speed he'll be a legitimate NFL prospect. Hows that working out for Childs?
Now, something that has been extremely irritating to me all season long................DOUG MARTIN. He has been hyped as the best athlete on the team, and i think he's lived up to the hype as being the dominant runner he is. My question is.........WHY IS HE NOT STARTING??? I know, Matt Kaiserman is the flavor of the week with his performance at Hawaii and him being a local boy and all, but seriously if anyone here was picking teams who would choose him over Martin? I know this might be a poor example since it was garbage time but Martin only played 11 minutes of the 4th quarter against SJSU, but in those 11 minutes he had 6 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown, which was tops among the backs. Any thoughts as to why hes not the starter? I dont think Avery or Kaiserman is better. Martin is just as fast if not faster, more physical, breaks tackles, catches passes, blocks, and scores. ITS FRUSTRATING TO ME, HE'S CLEARLY THE BEST IN MY EYES.

Does anyone besides me watch Sunday Sports Xtra on KTVB? if so, does anyone notice how much Corr smiles like the joker on Xanax or the numerous stupid faces he makes? im no computer wiz but i think it would be cool to make an online collage of all the dumb faces he makes during a broadcast for laughs. Anyone up for that? KTVB..........always good for a laugh whether it be Mark Johnson or Justin Corr.
