This was a surprise yesterday, but it makes sense if you really think about it. Boise State senior-to-be Chandler Hutchison has declared for the NBA Draft, but he will not hire an agent.
What we think we saw Saturday
Boise State’s Blue & Orange Game Saturday was a prototypical spring game. As in, it’s really hard to draw any conclusions from it. But there were some maybes.
Blue & Orange Game: 1’s versus 2’s
In spring football, it’s always feast and famine rolled into one. And so it will be tomorrow when Boise State wraps it up with the Blue & Orange Game in Albertsons Stadium. If one side of the field is happy, well, the other is sad.
Boise State’s 6 p.m. consolation prize
Has Boise State been thrown a bone by the Mountain West? And if so, is this enough of one? The conference has announced its TV package, and two of Boise State’s kickoff times have been finalized.
The Broncos’ leaders of the pack
At his press conference last week, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin was asked if any captain candidates were emerging during spring football. While Harsin did say it was too early to speculate on 2017 captains, he did rattle off a list of leadership guys.
Weaving some common threads
As big a stage as University of Phoenix Stadium was for Boise State football in its first Fiesta Bowl appearance in January of 2007, it still did not compare to what Gonzaga was looking at last night in the NCAA Tournament championship game.
Quarterback math for the future
There’s not much to make of Boise State’s second scrimmage of spring football Saturday. It was kind of a dress rehearsal for this Saturday’s Blue & Orange Game (full disclosure: I wasn’t there).
Time’s a-wastin’ at the wide receiver spot
The past few years, we always focused on who would make up Boise State’s “second wave” of wide receivers behind some combination of Matt Miller, Shane Williams-Rhodes, Thomas Sperbeck, Chaz Anderson and Cedrick Wilson.
How many Bronco names will be called?
Will Jeremy McNichols be the only Boise State player drafted a month from now? Does Tanner Vallejo have a chance to join him?
Rathen Ricedorff’s effect on Rypien, etc.
When Rathen Ricedorff committed to Boise State in December—and was named a first-team junior college All-America quarterback a few days later—we wondered what his role would be, really.
