BYU's recruiting class of 2007

[Goatnapper'96]

has already experienced 33% attrition. In the 3rd year of possible elgibility for signees of that class BYU will have lost more signees than will be on this years roster. 10 kids will be on missions, so that stat is a bit misleading.

Further, BYU has already lost 75% of the non-LDS kids from that year. The one remaining holdout is JJ Diluigi and since he has already redshirted I doubt he leaves after next year, even though his chances of playing much are probably slim. That sucked as I thought the non-LDS kids in that class had some promise.

When did Brannon Brooks leave BYU?

I think Brooks left a few months ago.

I don't think attrition's necessarily bad, if guys are leaving because they're getting beat out by other guys. Brooks had no chance of contributing in the 2-deep, because there were better newer players.

If the attrition is due in part to the talent pool getting better, I'm okay with that.

That group lost some talented players. Star Lotulelei, Gary Nagy, Gdawgydawgstyle Pittman and David Angilau were all pretty talented recruits and I think those 4 could all have been two year starters had they made it to their end of elgibility at BYU.

With respect to that 33% remember that the most advanced kids in the class are redshirt sophmores in Steven Thomas, JJ and Pendleton. There is plenty of time and likely to be more attrition. It would not surprise me if that class finishes at 50% attrition. I think there could be some strong contributors in the kids left but nobody really stands out as a future all conference caliber performer other than Ethym Manumaleuna, who might be wavering in returning according to some rumor I once read.

A great recruiting class for BYU appears to be the class of 2005. Already have 2 all conference performers from the class, with Matt Reynolds about to make it 3, and the attrition is at about 22%. In addition to the 3 all conference players I see three solid starters and one more strong two deep contributor. There is only 22% attrition and the class only signed 18 players.

Damn sexy contributions if you ask me!

Gary Nagy struggled to crack the 2 deep and never really did...he also had major HC issues, which is why he decided to transfer.

David Angilau is quickly rotting away and becoming the latest Matangi Tonga. You can take the kid out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the kid.

Star Lotulelei will end up with University of Utah after his time at Snow.

G Pittman.....I could see him getting on the field early with Washington State and doing well there. It'll be interesting to track his progress.

Brooks had left the team before the Vegas Bowl, it just wasn't publicized. The kid really struggled to get past his injuries and to be anything other than 3rd team during his time there. I have no idea where he is now.

This is pretty typical, actually. For an average recruiting class, 25% will be starters at some point, 25% will be special teams/depth players, and roughly 50% will never see the field in any capacity.

I know Utah's 2006 class was pretty much a bust.
