Boise State Broncos land key recruit for 2017

The Boise State Broncos picked up a major boost Monday morning with the announcement that Robert Gittens, a four-star wing from Tacoma, Washington has committed with BSU.

This is the first 2017 commit for head coach Leon Rice, who has now landed a 4* player in three of the last four seasons. Chandler Hutchison (junior wing) and Paris Austin (sophomore point guard) were the others.

Gittens also received offers from Hofstra, Portland and Washington. Boise recently lost out on a recruiting battle to Lorenzo Romar’s Huskies this spring after Carlos Johnson (a former UNLV commit) chose to head to Seattle and spurn Boise State.
