Intriguing, surprising, late addition to Boise State’s 2024 recruiting class. Three-star prospect had offers from Washington, Rutgers and others.

Was roommates with freshman Ethan Lathan at Compass Prep. https://t.co/CcHOIDiy1g
…and some intriguing info on a previous basketball pickup
Alvaro Cardenas' last two games at San Jose State: 36 points, 16 assists, 11 rebounds, four turnovers in 75 of 80 minutes against two NCAA Tournament teams in Utah State and Colorado State.
— B.J. Rains (@BJRains) July 7, 2024
Averaged 13.2 ppg, 5.5 apg for the season.
Such a massive addition for Boise State.
And how about a chaser of some more info on that wide receiver that committed last week?
Boise State recruit @GavinPacker8 scored 6 TDs in Skyview (Washington) High's first two state playoff games last season.

(And, as a bonus, a little about a couple walk ons)
🧵Two new players have been added to Boise State's football roster: WR Kayden Chan and TE Champion Johnson (what a name!)… Both are walk-ons, according to a BSU spokesperson.

Ashton Jeanty Continues to Rack Up Praise
The guy that runs the Senior Bowl posted this thread. Last week it was Rece Davis. Before that, it was Dane Brugler. Ashton Jeanty is getting a LOT of love at the national level! https://t.co/R78n0AeMwC

#BoiseState junior RB Ashton Jeanty has 9 games with at least 20 touches in his career.
— Jay Tust (@KTVBSportsGuy) July 4, 2024
He's averaging 174.3 yards from scrimmage and has 15 TDs in those games.
The ONLY time he was held under 100 YDS on 20+ touches was against North Dakota, an FCS opponent (73 YDS).#TuSTATS

Mountain West Media Days are next week and this means the season is getting closer! @Coach_SD, @JonahDalmas35 and @A_Hassanein91 will be representing the Broncos in Las Vegas.

#BoiseState senior K Jonah Dalmas and senior DE Ahmed Hassanein are the two players that will accompany head coach Spencer Danielson at MW Media Days in Las Vegas next week.
— Jay Tust (@KTVBSportsGuy) July 1, 2024
I believe Dalmas is the first special teams player the Broncos have ever sent to the event.

A Possible Culprit Behind Hank’s Tragic Regression After That Incredible Performance
To be fair, though, a line can’t protect forever. Ultimately, the QB also has to protect himself by making quicker decisions and getting rid of the ball…

Boise State Golfer Alum Update, Anyone?
Former #BoiseState golfer Troy Merritt is closing in on his second top 10 finish of the season.
— Jay Tust (@KTVBSportsGuy) June 30, 2024
He enters the final round of Rocket Mortgage Classic T-10th at 10-under. He’s 4 shots off the lead.
Merritt has a chance to jump inside the top 120 of the FedEx Cup Standings, too. pic.twitter.com/00HdJRLAEx
See anything we missed? Let us know in the comments.

Gemini is useless, and Microsoft’s Edge AI follows closely. In other news, great updates! I haven’t said it yet during this countdown but, you guys really do a lot of fantastic work and I, for one, appreciate it greatly! So many of us more “seasoned” fans are no longer posting but, we enjoy the info nonetheless! Thank you!
Thank you! We greatly appreciate that. A lot of effort goes in behind the scenes to make sure we don’t miss a day on those. So, thank you for reading (and enjoying) our work!
