WSU Recruiting Recap-" So far Coach Dodge has done a excellent job of adding some very talented players on both sides of the ball and he still has plenty of time to give out the other 9 scholarships available. Rumors are Coach Dodge is holding on to 4 or 5 hoping to land some more talented transfers like last season"
Coach Dodge Comments "I really like this class so far. I feel like I have increased our Overall talent and hopefully with another Bowl appearence we can increase our program to a 3* caliber allowing us the opportunity to start signing 4* and maybe even 5* type players" Until then we will focus on building the program similar to what they did at Boise State, with players who are not always highly sought after."
