And it is not even really close in some cases. Fresno State has 17 , Utah State 8 and Nevada has 10. ISU has 6. Fans of those other schools are probably asking how he could pick ISU over their school if he wants to get to the pros someday.

I'm curious what position these three schools were recruting him to play, especially Nevada. I worked there for about 3 years, including Wolf Pack football games, so was just curious as to what position Chris Ault saw him playing.

Welcome to ISU Kamari. I'm glad you made this choice.

Side note, Chris Ault retired this season.

this is why it is great to these players here on a visit

Thank you, Tribune, Williams, & Harris. So glad you are all in and happy you and KCM made a connection.
Cotton-Moya had 40 touchdowns his senior season. That is making plays.

Yeah, for the second time, or some would argue the 3rd time. He was both football coach and AD most of the time I was there.

If he was from Iowa most of you guys would be wetting yourselves.

This is a solid get. I will gladly take recruits like this from a populated State like California or others. Only time will tell who will be the better player, Cotton-Moya or others.

Welcome to Cyclone Nation, KCM

Right on Bro. - one of the best posts I've encountered on CF. Could not agree more. Welcome KCM!!!

What his coach said about him in the Bakersfield Californian in December:

"He's just the best athlete that I've coached, no question about it," said Manning, who has already seen three Ridgeview players go to Division I colleges in three years. "He's the greatest competitor I've ever coached. His desire to win is second to none."
