The ESPN tracker hasn't updated for many teams in the Big Sky. Eastern and MSU appear to be doing well with recruiting. Idaho currently has 18 commits.

What is considered to be a typical number per class for FCS schools?

[grizband]

Gabe Sulser isn't the only commit to Montana thus far; we have 14 signed and 4 transfers right now. I wouldn't use ESPN as the best source of recruiting information for FCS football.

[VandalBasher]

I figured. And, for that reason, I wanted to start a thread. Please add in any additional info regarding your upcoming recruiting class.

I think they are the Western version of an FCS school living and dying by the transferees. That's why I believe they don't translate to on-field success. xconfusedx
