**************************UPDATED*******************

The 2006 recruiting class is just a month old, but it is never too early to talk 2007 recruiting. Fresh off of what many consider his best recruiting class, Pat Hill is poised to top his efforts with the 2007 class.
Scout.com released its California Top 40 for 2007, and 4 players are from Central California: CB Courtney Viney(Edison), OL Justin Cheadle(Bakersfield)[top right], DB Phillip Thomas(Bakersfield), and WR Carter Todd(Merced). Fresno State has reportedly offered all of them except Viney. Viney holds offers from Cal, UCLA, Washington State and Nebraska, but is interested in joining former teammate Johnny Sears at Michigan. He will likely take the route of other former All-Prep Tigers and leave the Valley. No harm, for every Ricky Manning there is a Aaron Miller.
Fresno State has also reportedly offered OL Javario Burkes out of Phoenix. Burkes is a monster and will likely be a 4-5 star recruit. Chris Carter is another standout that could be a coveted player out West. However, his brother David signed with UCLA and part of deal was to offer younger brother Chris in 2007. In Fresno State's favor Carter is working out with Bulldog recruit Lonyae Miller's father.

Quarterback will be a key position for Fresno State's 2007 class. Hill has stated that he will be looking for a QB that he could grayshirt in 2007. Logan Todd[at right] is a prototypical drop-back passer that can move. He is likely to sign wherever his brother, Carter, will sign. Cal and Oregon State are the early favorites . Tim Lang is a duel-threat QB, but will more than likely play another position in college. Lang has been offered already, but I doubt Hill will play him at QB. The last duel-threat QB Hill recruited, Nate Ray, was eventually moved to DB. I expect Hill to grab another under the radar QB that will fit into his system and that is willing to grayshirt.
The Valley is Hill's stopping ground and besides the three players listed in the top 40, there are a few under the radar guys: Alex Cabatic, Avery Horn, and Vince Pascoe. All-state underclass athlete Ryan Matthews will not go under the radar. Fresno State has reportedly offered, but his stock is going up, as are his offers.

I list players from various sources. There are others not listed and some on this list that may be incorrect. It is very difficult to confirm these lists so early on. I will update it as the season wears on, and I welcome all input, corrections, updates, and etc.
