Who else from the WAC were they going to show? Fresno St. has national cache. Nevada and Hawaii are also good teams. ESPN is probably the reason the WAC was as good or better than the MWC this past year. |

Who else from the WAC were they going to show? It's a chicken and egg deal. When a school from a non-AQ conference is nevertheless on ESPN five times per season, you have to think that gives them a big recruiting advantage over their competitors who aren't. |

ESPN is probably the reason the WAC was as good or better than the MWC this past year. Maybe half a dozen years ago when ESPN was trying to pimp Fresno - that never took off. UNR had their best year ever and Hawaii played better than expected, but not exactly great. One year out a dozen was more the law of averages than anything else. |

I don't know, it's not like they're exactly dominating in recruiting, here's their WAC Rivals Rankings for the last five years... '06 #1 BSU #2 La Tech #3 CSU Fresneck '07 #1 BSU #2 Hawaii #3 CSU Fresneck '08 #1 CSU Fresneck #2 Hawaii #3 La. Tech #4 Nevada #5 BSU '09 #1 BSU #2 La. Tech #3 CSU Fresneck '10 #1 CSU Fresneck #2 Hawaii #3 BSU Like Monty said, it's their coaching more than anything. |
