Yep..........they are difficult to get any info from. Very tight-lipped and non-responsive for the most part.

I'm told there is one more recruit who has verbally committed to Boise State (from Idaho) but has not yet signed his L.O.I. and possibly one more recruit who may be added. Not sure where the latter is from tho.
