Mountain West Recruiting Roundup 1-29-24. An abundance of offers.

It’s another week of the Mountain West Recruiting Roundup.

We are in the home stretch of the 2024 recruiting cycle, with the second signing period just a few weeks away.

Offers and commitments are still happening at a high rate for Mountain West schools. There were 84 known new offers among Mountain West teams in the past week, with the vast majority of them being given to recruits in future classes. San Diego State (29) and Nevada (21) led the way with offers. There were also 6 new commits this week, with 2 of them for the 2025 cycle. Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, and San Jose State all added to the current or future class. Nevada gained 2 more commits, but San Diego State gets the nod this week as the team most active in recruiting.

Recruiting Calendar:

From January 12th until February 3rd, we are in a contact period. This is the most open of the phases, and pretty much all contact with recruits is permitted.

Next College Student Athlete defines it as:

The NCAA Contact Period is exactly what it sounds like—all communication between athletes and coaches is fair game. Coaches can email, text, call, direct message and generally contact athletes and their parents through any NCAA-approved method. In-person contact can occur on the college campus, as well as at tournaments, at the recruit’s school and home. In other words, the communication floodgates are open, so take advantage of this opportunity to get unlimited access to talk to coaches.

Air Force Commitment Tracker:

Since the Air Force Academy regularly has by far the most commits among Mountain West recruiting classes, it’s fun to track them over the course of the year.

Number of Falcon verbal commits: 102
