At this point Boise State, San Diego State, Memphis, and SMU need to get together and figure this out. Put together the best conference you can and be the fifth best conference by a long shot. Would be a killer basketball conference as well.

Boise State currently has the top Group of 5 class with 16 known commits. When the "silent commit" reveals himself, they will be comfortably in the top 50. I expect Boise State to go after a juco DB as well. A top 45 class is not out of the question.

I see a lot of you are rooting for Memphis. Not me, I want to see what Apsey and Thompson are made of. We've given both of them a free pass for too long. Boise has lacked a commissioner and an athletic director with a voice. This is where Bob Kustra was so valuable.
