BRONCO FOCUS EVERY MONDAY-THURSDAY AT 3:45 P.M.: Bob Behler, the voice of Boise State athletics, joins Prater and Johnny to share his interview with football general manager Brandon Jones. The Broncos are in the middle of June camp season - Bob takes a look at the importance of high school-aged camps. The Broncos aren't doing a team camp this summer so the emphasis is on individuals (and future/potential recruits). "In the end, in-person evaluation is everything,'' Jones said.
