Any chance we'll see a grade point average for these new players?





Idaho Vandals sign eight junior college football players


The Idaho Vandals announced the signings of eight junior college players Wednesday, set to join the program next month. There are two defensive linemen, two defensive backs, two linebackers and two offensive linemen. Petrino expects to add another dozen or so players in February, but said in the coming weeks, another junior college player or two could join for the spring semester.
I also asked coach Paul Petrino if any players have left the program since the season ended, and he said there have been some, but declined to say who they were.
