Craig Haley, the new FCS executive director for The Sports Network, wrote this glowing piece about Chase Reynolds of the Montana Grizzlies, and what he projects as the top 10 running backs in the Football Championship Subdivision.

The recruits are adding up… in UNLV

Here’s the latest from the Las Vegas Sun on new UNLV coach Bobby Hauck’s recruiting prowess. He was able to get Kjelby Oiland, a defensive tackle who had long been on his (and Montana’s) radar, to commit to the Rebels over the weekend.
