sweet, keep 'em coming coach A

PG Fan

Way to go Jason! It will be fun watching your tenacity shine as you play for the Aggies!

Go Vikings and
Go Ags

Jordan Fan

Congrats Jason. You're a great player. It will be fun watching you and Hart. It should be a great one two punch.
Go Ags!!!

Go Gary, Go Gary!!

Anyone who doubts that Anderson is slowly building something special in Logan (okay, building something considerably better that what's been there there past three decades) is not paying attention. Go Aggies!!

He

is the best player on PG's Team. USU just got the best D1 play PG has to offer and Hart is a much better QB than lloyd.

Go USU

The new coaching staff seems to be great. I just hope that they can recruit some extremely great linemen to protect the new investments. The line has been overmatched in all of the games so far, they wouldn't even run Turbin. The ags need some serious size increase. I bleed blue, navy blue that is. Go Aggies

BGJ

Atta boy Jason! I love that the Goon Killa is going to be an Aggie!
Congrats to you and your family! Maybe in a couple years, Big B will be joining you?!?
Congrats again and best of luck!

Re:Go USU

Spot on assessment, in fact it may sound over zealous but I would put the Aggie skill players up against the Y's anyday. Look at Curtis, Cooley, Carty, Turbin, White and the list goes on. However where the separation seems to be quite WIDE is at the lines, offense and defense.

The O Line in particular always seems so small in comparison. The D Line is pretty much the same thing. We have had pretty good linebackers come through but tell me the last D or O lineman that really was a BIG time difference maker . . . yeah not much to speak of is there.

It is no doubt where we have to improve if we want to be true players in the WAC scene. That comes way before being competitive with our in-state rivals.

As a tribute to the Y and U we indeed have a ways to go to catch up to them, we need to be competitive in the WAC first, the rest will follow.

re: HE Aggie4Life

Nice comment. Way to try and bring QB's into the matter-isnt this an article about Fanaka? But since you brought it up there was no one even close to PG's QB in summer camps and workouts from Utah. Hence the 15 or so D1 offers for the PG kid and noone else in Utah was offered (except Alts's from a JC I believe). We are thrilled getting Hart since Lloyd turned us down when offered months ago. I look for Hart and Manning to battle in the future.

Great get in this PG Fanaka. He is big and can catch. USU will be back, and the 3 year rebuilding plan is starting to pick up momentum.

Welcome to the family Jason!

Go Aggies!

Dallas Aggie

Welcome Welcome! Great choice on attending and playing for USU....You will love your experience up there! Go Aggies!

Aggie Watcher

Great hearing about the new commitments for the Aggies. Offensive and Defensive lineman are the most sought after players every year, if you don't believe that do some research. Most teams in the country have to develop those positions and the Aggies will get this done with hard working kids who will develop under this coaching staff. Thanks for the info D-News. Keep it up Aggies!!

Las Vegas Aggie

Uath State is a great palce to go to college, none better in the intermountian west.
Now we have a football coach that is going to do the same thing that Stew has done for Basketball life is going to be even better.
Keep the great instate players coming peppered in with a few D1 players from out of state to create a great mix, thanks for the direction GA.

Re: Re:GO USU

You're right. The line's size on both sides of the ball was an issue Saturday in the second half with their loss to Nevada.
Utah State picked up big 6'8" Bryce Walker from Pleasant Grove to beef up their O Line. Sounds like they're moving in the right direction to me.
Way to go Jason. We are proud of you and can't wait to watch USU's rise to the top!

re: Las Vegas

If you're meaning any place in N. Utah and the local Idaho/Wyoming area, you're right. There are way nicer places in the much larger Rocky Mountain area than USU and you can get a far better education. Even Colorado is a far better place. Much more to see and do.

I was Hoping for this one

Great commit! I love the upside of this kid and the impact that he will have on Aggie FB. Great article. (Bloggers need to leave the QB out of it he's not a starter yet)

Building a program

Anderson is smart enough to know that the only way of rebuilding not only the Aggie football program, but also the Aggie fan base, is to include a good-sized number of local talent.

Relying almost strictly on California imports for recruits makes it nearly impossible for Utah State to increase the size of their already small fan base.

Mars

Awesome.

We'll be there screaming our guts out for you, Jason. Make us proud!

Go Aggies!!!

Jordan fan

Congrats Jason! Hart will love to throw to you. USU is right, the Aggies need to grab some other horses from PG and around the state as well. Keep em coming coach A you have a great start. To comment HE: Keep your dumb comments trying to bash Lloyd to yourself. None of us want to hear it. Jason, great job you are well deserving. What an experience of a lifetime!

Sneaky Jimmy

There should be plenty of farm boys from No Utah/So. Idaho that could take up space on the line. Anderson is just what the Aggies need.

Aggie HYPE

Alex Hart is one of the TOP recruits in the country??????

According to Rivals he isn't even rated and is no where to be found in the top 150 QB's in the country who are rated.......

THE DNEWS hypes everything...from Obamacare to HS Football....try having a little integrity like FOX NEWS!
