National Signing Day 2010: WAC Recruiting Class Report Card

With National Signing Day 2010 all but over for the Western Athletic Conference, it's time to grade each team's recruiting class.

We'll take a look at their highlights, their lowlights, and perhaps a few surprises.

While most expect Boise State to be on top of the WAC in every aspect, it's Fresno State that took the top spot in 2010. The only reason for that is the fact that the Broncos have all but one starter returning for next season.

Don't discredit the Bulldogs, however. Pat Hill and his staff landed what could be their best recruiting class in recent memory.

San Jose State and New Mexico State also came up with their own surprises as well.
