Loyolla, California cornerback Chaz Anderson is the recipient of the latest scholarship offer from Boise State.
The 6-0, 175-lb. Anderson happens to be the cousin of Bronco corner Bryan Douglas. Anderson had three interceptions last year and caught 14 passes for a touchdown as a wide receiver. He is quick, having lettered in track. He has run the 110-meter hurdles in 16.88 and the 300 hurdles in 42.80. Anderson played on a losing team last year, so he had plenty of opportunities to make tackles in the secondary. He displayed good coverage skills, good instincts, and wasn't afraid to stop a speeding locomotive (a running back at top speed) from reaching its destination.
Although Anderson was happy to receive Boise State's offer, he wants to go to both the USC and UCLA camps, which tells me that like so many others, he values a school's conference more than the school itself. No knock on those two schools, but Los Angeles, with all its big-city problems, doesn't compare to Boise.
More on the recruitment of Anderson as it progresses.
Au contraire, mon frère. He's very grounded and down to earth and the "prestige" of a conference will have nothing to do with his decision. His family is not at all affected by the bright lights and the big city. It will absolutely be based on what's best for him, the actual university and the community. Let's just say Boise pulled their offer, then what would Chaz do had he not followed the best laid plans for his summer camps and his exposure? Sounds like a smart kid to me covering all of his bases.
ReplyDeleteI would just say that if Chaz committed, he's not going to have his scholarship pulled. Boise State is not that kind of school. That said, the Bronco coaching staff generally likes to get people that are completely sold on everything the school and the community has to offer. I did not mean to imply that there was anything wrong with checking out other schools. The scholarship offer has been made, and the only way that Chaz will not get it is if he waits and another player jumps in and takes it. The coaching staff is very upfront in telling each recruit exactly what the situation is.
