New Mexico offered.

If we can't beat New Mexico in a recruiting battle then we might have a problem.

They've since chosen to transfer here, but out of high school they choose New Mexico over us.

Last class we kicked their tail in recruiting. They got Aaron Jenkins over us, but our offer to him came early and I don't think we were actively recruiting him anymore at the time he committed to UNM.

We did, however get Chris Miles, Willy Ivery, and Fonzale Davis (they offered after he committed to us) over New Mexico last class.

My point is, you're right. We should be beating them. Unfortunately it hasn't exactly been a sure win returning against them. This class should be a big step up for us, which means not just beating bigger schools out for recruits, but winning these type of battles every single time. Bullying some teams on the recruiting trail.

We should stalk MWC teams and see who they offer. Aside from Boise we should be a contender in recruiting with any other MWC school, a legitimate contender.

It looks like we're going the opposite direction (East) with our out of state offers, besides Oklahoma of course. We appear to be recruiting the southeast a little, which I love. Got some offers out in Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana, potentially Florida, and we appear to have an eye on states like Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama.

That's where we should do our out of state recruiting IMO. With our exposure in those states only getting better due to being in CUSA, we can steal kids out of our conference mates backyards without having to put a ton of resources into those states like we did with Louisiana a couple years ago. Very rich states in HS football talent, whereas most Mountain West schools have to do most of their recruiting in California, which is a little out of our exposure range.

Won't believe this until it actually starts occurring. It's been said for years, but has never come to fruition.

Ben Gooding · April 30, 2014

If we can successfully recruit the SE, by all means recruit the hell out of that area. If not, we should look into recruiting the MWC's and MAC's recruiting grounds for out of state purposes.

Vito's recruiting blog series:

Looks like Jackson is being recruited as an interior offensive lineman.

BillySee58 · May 31, 2014

UTEP offered a couple days ago.

GrayEagle · June 1, 2014

Sometimes it's the position. If New Mexico can offer a player a good chance to start early they could win a recruiting battle over someone who is pretty loaded at his position.

Congrats to Kingfisher Yellowjacket, Kaden Jackson. 5th offer, this time the Ohio Bobcats!

I wonder if the oil and gas business explosion in WY has affected campus life in Laramie?

Harry · September 22, 2014

Article indicates he chose Wyoming over us but we had already gotten a center committed from Flower Mound right???

Doesn't it get fairly chilly out in Wyoming?

Ben Gooding · September 23, 2014

If this was a legit loss to Wyoming in a recruiting battle we are doing something very wrong. Matter of fact if it is legit we should start doing the opposite of everything we are currently doing.

BillySee58 · September 23, 2014

We have 3 interior offensive linemen committed. One of which has been told he may play center or guard (Cody Wheeler - Allen) and a guy who will most likely be a center (Creighton Barr - FM Marcus). With not a lot of spots left, Jackson most likely missed the boat.
