Boise State's best recruiting class EVER this year - with only 15 new recruits

[Bronco754]

Four (or five) FOUR Star recruits for Boise State is the most ever. Here's a breakdown of the newly signed recruits for Boise State who were in fact offered scholarships by the so-called "Power" 5 (a.k.a. GREEDY 5) conferences who chose to sign with Boise State instead:

I wrote Four (or five) FOUR Star recruits because some are saying RB Keegan Duncan was rated as a Four Star recruit by 247 or ESPN (not sure which) but I've found no evidence of that.

The Four Star recruits who DID sign with Boise State this year are:

1. Hank Bachmeier - QB - Rated as a 4 Star recruit by both 247 and ESPN

2. Casey Kline - DE/LB - Rated as a 4 Star recruit by both 247 and ESPN

3. Austin Griffin - TE - Rated as a 4 Star recruit by 247 and ESPN

4. George Holani - RB - Rated as a 4 Star recruit by ESPN - but only rated as a 3 Star recruit by 247

5. Keegan Duncan - RB ???

Apparently Keegan Duncan IS rated as a Four star recruit - by 247. Not his COMPOSITE ranking but his 247 Ranking (Below his Composite ranking) of 90 (which is Four star level)

Keegan Duncan, Declo Senior, Running Back

So there are - in fact - FIVE new signees for Boise State rated as Four star recruits.
