If BYU stopped right there that is as good of a recruiting class as they have ever had. But they still have legit chances at the following:
1. Manti Te'o, 5 star recruit, number 1 ranked linebacker in the country by both Rivals and Scout. Offers from 37 different schools.
2. Xavier Sua'filo: 4 star recruit, number 7 guard in the country, has offers from Miami, USC, LSU, and just about everyone else. Best friends with Richard Wilson who has already committed and plays at Timpview with Craig Bills and Tui Crichton.
3. Latu Heimuli: 4 star recruit, number 10 defensive tackle in the country has offers from Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon State, UCLA
4. Steven Fanua: 3 star recruit, Number 18 ranked MLB in the country, had 173 tackles and 12 sacks his junior year. offers from: Cal, Fresno State, Arizona State, Washington. (Most think he is BYUs to lose)
5. Lt Filiaga: 3 star recruit, number 23 ranked MLB in the country. Offers from: BYU, Utah, Stanford, Washington. 92 tackles, 3 sacks, 4 fumbles through 9 games of his senior season.
Right now Scout has BYU with the 31st ranked class in the country, Manti Te'o would bump them in to the top 25, Te'o and Sua'filo puts them in the top 20, if they landed all 5 guys on the wants list they would be estimated about number 11.
