Bair would have freakish speed in Texas or Florida for a high school kid. The fact that he is only a junior and from Idaho is absolutely bizarro. I'm curious where he can go as a track athlete as much as a football player.

If he keeps improving, he has a legit chance to compete at the Olympic Trials next summer in the 100 and 200. 

 

He smoked the California defending state 100M and 200M champ.  

[Did I hear a WOOSH?]

I hope Boise keeps him home.  That said the real work they’re putting in is for him to go to Michigan for a year then transfer back in.  And that is perfectly ok.  Let him go develop then come back home.  This is the way.

I hope Boise lands this kid - if for nothing else to give a middle finger to the blue bloods and their money.

He would be, by far, the highest rated recruit in Boise history. The fact that he is local(ish) would give him a good chance of being one of, if not the, most popular player to ever play here... if he were to meet those expectations.

I can't tell, is this fast?

Some track stars are quick and light.  Superfly.   Bair is a bulldozer with speed.  Not the typical HS sprinter.

That is nuts.  And at elevation and in the rain too.

Yeah, he's noticably bigger than all of the other sprinters. Kid won by 20 meters at a fairly prestigious meet.

Ran a 10.11 earlier this year.  Smoked the defending California state 200M and 100M champ in both events.  And a white kid from Burley +++++ing Idaho....just crazy.

That is a tough one to turn down, but he already has basically turned down Georgia by not putting them in his top five. Also, what are the chances that Nick Saban is still around by the time he enrolls? Rumors of Saban's retirement have been rampant for the last couple of years and Bair wouldn't enroll for another three years

10.15 in a prelim today. If this kid’s mission isn’t in Jamaica, the mormon church is going to miss a huge opportunity.

Looks like Boise just got their first '24 commit. Any guesses?

Yeah, we've really not seen what most of AA's recruits can do. But he does sign more guys like this, which his predecessors didn't once Boise built their brand. He may end up having an eye for talent, but he did sign a few guys with mostly FCS offers last year. One of which was Breezy Dubar, who exploded his SR year and became a 4*** recruit.

I mean maybe he has the CP eye for talent?  And yeah Breezy had no offers...then he became a 4 star....I just think in todays day and age players with talent that would have once been overlooked are not anymore...so much

We don't really know about his actual recruiting abilities. From a ranking point he's done fine. Fairly Boise State like, but not as good as some of Pete and Harsin's best classes.

This year will be the first time we get to see his first full class play. We did get to see Ashton Jeanty, who is an absolute home run. Prince Strachan sounds like he could be a stud. They're all going to be RSFR, but we should be able to get an idea about how he is doing.

Stop with your anti-Montana bias.

Kid had both Cat and Griz offers. Benches 380 and squats 500 plus as a HS junior. He’ll have PAC offers towards signing day but plays at a small class B school (smallest 11-man division) an hour outside of Missoula. If he were from Challis or some shit you’d be swinging on his nuts.
