Tedford’s first Fresno State signing class a significant step forward

How many recruits made their way across Jeff Tedford’s computer screen over these past 12 weeks?

Fresno State’s recently hired head football coach leaves me guessing.

“More than 100?” I ask during a recent conversation in Tedford’s office. “Two hundred?”

“Easily more than 100,” he replied.

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs and their depleted roster, college football teams are allowed to sign only 25 players each year. Fresno State signed 23 Wednesday (including five midyear transfers who came aboard in December), wrapping a tidy red bow around the first significant milepost of the program’s new era.
