Recruiting Update

First and foremost, Clovis West defensive end Chris Lewis has verbally committed to Miami. Who can blame the guy? South Beach, 5 national titles, the ACC, and come on it is the 'Canes! Fresno State did pick up one other verbal, A.J. Jefferson from Bakersfield's West High. Jefferson is a good size CB/WR. He is slated to play cornerback at the next level and is best known for containing fellow Bulldog recruit Barry Wilson in the Valley championship one-on-one with no help from the safety. Does Jefferson's signing mean that Thenarse will probably not be a Bulldog? Channel 47 only lists 13 verbals for Fresno State the names on the list below minus, Bell, Hamler, Hedrington, Schenck, and Smith. Their sources are probably better than mine, but I list 18 with Hamler the only for sure one with another verbal to a different school thus far.
