Vandals criticized for lack of in-state recruiting

MOSCOW — It’s been a rough last couple of weeks for the Idaho Vandals.
A couple weeks ago, the Vandals were picked to finish 11th — last — in the Sun Belt Conference in football this season.
Then, last week, Idaho State football coach Mike Kramer — a former Vandal player — dissed his alma mater’s football program, saying it was ignoring top-notch recruits in its own state.
Also last week, it was reported the Vandals and Boise State aren’t going to play each other in men’s basketball this season for the first time in 45 years.
What in the name of Dennis Erickson and Don Monson is going on here?
First, Kramer. Earlier this month, he told Boise radio station KTIK that the Vandals have “abandoned” the state of Idaho in recruiting.
