All these recruits from the Valley and the city. That is supposed to be our territory. Interesting that they are coming after the year we won in Missoula in front of all those kids Montana brought in on a visit. Coincidence? I think not. :thumb:

:lol:
 
As if the Viks didn't have enough commits from Churchill HS, here's another one!!!

Obviously none of us know whether or not these players being signed can compete at the Big Sky level. It does seem however that they are able to get players that are pleased to be at PSU. If they are getting players that "buy into the system" that's half the battle.

Good point!

Looks like a number of preferred walk on players to PSU. I wonder how many scholarships PSU had to give out.
 
I know it's just a ranking site on the Internet, but we're still looking pretty good in the eyes of 24/7.

1st in the Big Sky (last year 8th)
111th nationally (last year 189th)

We all know it doesn't mean anything in real terms of winning and losing. What it does though is give your players a feeling that they made the right choice.....if other good players are signing here, I want to be a part of that.....AND it starts to play on your opponents minds....hey they won in Missoula last year, maybe they are building something.
 
Best recruiting Class ever, on paper, for Portland State! The future looks bright for the Vikings and congratulations to the Football staff who worked so hard on attaining these Student-Athletes. Sure hope next year's team will see the benefit of this class on the field. Go Viks!!! Some pertinent articles from NLI day yesterday:

According to 247, this is one of the best FCS classes in the country. Ranked ahead of 14 FBS programs. Impressive.

It's even bigger than that!:

Andrew Nemec Retweeted Portland State Football

Portland State embraced change over past few years, found the approach that worked for that staff and program and absolutely crushed it! This is truly a stunning turnaround on the recruiting trail!

*Highest rated signing class in Portland State history

*Highest rated signing class in Big Sky Conference history

*Highest rated class in the FCS

Did I mention, GO VIKS!!!!
