Looks like a terrific class. Some great talent at a variety of positions and both Demetrius Bronson (rb) and Andru Pulu (de) transfer over from the huskies.
Despite Late Start, Eagles See Silver Lining as They Sign 20 to Letters of Intent
Eagles also add pair of UW transfers, while adding depth to the offensive line and finding "true football players" was the emphasis in recruiting high school players
The late start to recruiting wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Eastern Washington University's trek to the NCAA Division I Football Championship delayed its bulk of recruiting for about a month, but Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin was reminded of the silver lining to having its last two games of the season broadcast live on ESPN2. The Eagles won the title with a 20-19 victory over Delaware on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.
"A fellow coach and I were talking about how other schools had recruits who had been home-visited and they saw them in school, but we hadn't even been out there," Baldwin explained of the late start. "He said, 'well, you've had two-straight home visits on ESPN2, so you are in some homes.' We felt late getting out, but it was good to be late."
On Wednesday (Feb. 2), Eastern's late start yielded a quality group of 20 high school players who signed letters of intent to attend EWU and play for the Eagles next fall.
Included is Vernon Adams, a quarterback from Pasadena, Calif., and Alemany High School. In his final two seasons, he passed for 5,234 yards and 49 touchdowns, and rushed for another 1,263 yards and 19 more scores in leading Alemany to an overall record of 22-5. Local product Jordan Tonani signed as a defensive back after helping Ferris High School in Spokane, Wash., finish unbeaten and win the State 4A title last fall.
Eastern also has added a pair of University of Washington transfers -- running back Demitrius Bronson and Andru Pulu -- who both played for the Huskies in 2009. Pulu is already attending EWU, and Bronson has signed a financial aid agreement and will attend EWU in the spring quarter.
Hey Big Sky... remember Aaron Boyce? Yep, Jason is his brother. 
Some hogs on both lines... David Delgado (Double D, Double Destruction?) 6-3, 320. Should get some nice instruction from Kninety-eight the Knife, Renard Williams.
