"We think we got some of the best athletes in the State, with our recruiting efforts in Washington," said UM assistant coach Gary Ekegren. "We have some exceptional athletes in this group." Topping the list is 6-4, 235-pound lineman Bob Cordier. A first team all-city player while at Shadle Park High School, Cordier is from Spokane. The business major was coached by Bob Haney. "Bob is an outstanding prospect because of his size and his feet," Ekegren said.
