2011 Recruiting Class

Every year at this time there are countless high school seniors that make their final decision as to which college they will attend in the fall. Those who are unrelated to these seniors do not care where they go. That is unless the senior is a football recruit. In that case fans go crazy and over-analyze the mental happenings and workings of the kids' mind. We are all guilty. Not that there is anything wrong with rooting for your team, but these athletes are still children. With that said, let's take a look at who has committed to the Broncos and who still can (they will if they are smart!), all thanks to scout.com.

There are others on the prospect list (you can see for yourself here), but these four are the highest rated and most coveted. Boise State fans really want to see cornerback Stefan McClure playing on The Blue next year. He was in the High School All-American Game where he grabbed an interception and returned it deep into the East's territory. He is really talented and could take Brandyn Thompson's spot from day one. He is one of the "play now" guys. Let's hope the coaches can convince him of that and get him to Boise. As far as the committeds go, there are 20 of them so far, and it looks like a great class. There is a lot of talent making it's way to Boise State University. The one that has many people excited is Jay Ajayi. He has been tearing up record books down in Texas and will do the same on The Blue. The Broncos have their kicker in Jake Van Ginkel. This kid has a cannon for a leg. His presence and abilities will be much needed with the departure of Kyle Brotzman.

What are some of your opinions about these recruits? Who do you think will make an impact?
