Boise St. with two out of CA

Boise State is mining northern and southern California and this isn't a good trend:

"The Broncos picked up a verbal commitment Saturday night from Paris Austin, a point guard out of Bishop O'Dowd High in Oakland, Calif. Austin is rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN.com and is one of Rivals.com's top 150 national recruits, at No. 142."

A 5-foot-11 point, Austin was a SJSU target until he cut his list of suitors to three. Montana made the semifinal cut, meaning SJSU couldn't beat out a Big Sky program, albeit a very successful one.

6-foot-7 190 guard Chandler Hutchinson is a BSU freshman out of southern California:
"Three-year letterwinner at Mission Viejo High School under head coach Troy Roelen...believed to be first top 100 recruit in program history, ranked No. 80 in ESPN 100 for class of 2014, rated as No. 7 prospect in California and No. 19 small forward in the country."
Gotta win some games this season, meaningful ones, or this will keep happening.

Playing catchup requires discovering and lining up guys before the hordes of others. That's what the Broncos did with Hutchinson.
