Idaho, Utah, California and now strong ties in Washington--this will continue for the reason that Skippy stated. With that said, I have heard of a push into Hawaii as well. Not sure how they can do it from a budget standpoint, but we will see. ISU came very close to getting 2-3 players from the islands last winter.
Zamberlin will need to go JC heavy--I expect 10-12 to be signed with 5-7 kids in for the Spring. Idaho State will need to be more successful getting the JC kids on the field and contributing. They cannot afford to invest so much resources to get such limited production from JC transfers.
If they cannot improve the defensive line NOW--they will not be in a position to compete at all next season.
