Boise State Snags Great Receiver

Boise State is making inroads now that will pay huge dividends in 3-4 years.  The Broncos scored their third commit in as many days, reeling in wide receiver Akilian Buter.

Butler (5-11, 172) is from West Mesquite High School in Texas.  He has great speed, athleticism and body control.  Butler hauled in 28 passes for 378 yards and three scores as a sophomore.

Akilian had offers from Clemson and Colorado, and interest from Baylor, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Washington State prior to committing to the Blue.

Boise State Will Compete in Seattle

For the 28th time, Boise State will try to advance past the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championship, and this time, they'll perform in the West.  The 17th-ranked Broncos will compete in Seattle Saturday, April 5.

Only two teams advance from each region, and that is why Boise State has never made it to Nationals.  They have never gotten better than a three seed, and that is what they are this year.

Host Washington is the favorite as the #6 seed.  Alabama is seeded first in the region with Nebraska the second seed.  Boise State will have to beat at least two of those teams to make history.  Hint:  the odds are stacked against them, which is why it is so important to get a team score of 196 each and every meet.  Other teams competing in Seattle will be #20 Denver (which outperformed Boise State in the Mountain Rim Conference Championship) and #25 BYU.
