Bohl's challenge is recruiting 4-5 star FBS players, building a fan base, building a winning team culture and mentality, changing the program from spread offense to defensive first culture, etc.....
The first Bohl recruiting class will have to deal with the fact that it will take most of their college careers to even to begin a winning tradition. It is not going to happen over night (3 years?).
Anyone that thinks Bohl is going to be recruiting 4 and 5 star players to Wyoming is out of their minds. Boise State, America's darlings and the undisputed kings of the Mountain West conference have signed 3 4 star splayers in the last 5 seasons, never even getting a sniff of a 5 star. The Minnesota Golden Gophers, with their endless pool of money and their B1G status, have only been able to ink 3 4 star recruits in the last 5 seasons, all from the same class and are about to lose their only 4 star recruit for this season to Florida. Wyoming has no 4 or 5 star recruits at any point in the last 6 years. Bohl is going to have to make his hay where he always has, with guys that aren't as highly though of as they should be. He'll get a handful of 3 star guys, but his bread is going to be buttered with 2 star players and the same kind of "finds" like he made here.
Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk
This law is the final word:
For the strength of the Herd is the Bison
And the strength of the Bison is the Herd.
