Recruiting post mortem: Utah vs. BYU

[SeattleUte]

Why? 2 BCS games in 5 years, I think it should be the other way around. You should be kicking our ass in recruiting right now. You have a much larger recruiting base to pull from, you have zero restrictions on who you can bring in, and face it your academic standards are suspect when it comes to athletes.

That's two BCS BOWL WINS in FOUR years, buster.--Hallelujah

Head to head recruiting:

LT Filiga: Utah
Latu Heimuli: Utah
Richard Wilson: BYU
Tui Crichton: BYU

Looks pretty even.

We also offered Chris Washington and Tuipulotu. Did any other BYU commits have Utah offers (not that it means anything)?

My honest thoughts off this years recruiting class.

Both BYU and Utah picked up some very talented kids this year and it would be pretty hard to say who is the distinct winner of the coveted "February Championship".

I personally think Utah did an excellent job in recruiting guys with speed. BYU fans should be jealous of this.

BYU also dropped the ball in addressing immediate needs for the team. They should have had the amount of JC corners/secondary players Utah had on their signing list and more LB's than they landed. BYU needs some serious help on one side of the ball and I am not convinced they got it for next year in this class. I think they also signed to many big Wide Receivers. 2 of them are the same guy and they are the same guy they recruited the past couple of years. Thompson will be the wide out from this class that will be good IMO. He is legit.

Utah on the other hand, was very JC heavy. Yes I am biased and don't like the JC route and yes Utah has seen "some" success with this. I am still surprised that they signed so many JUCO guys this year especially with really good talent already in the system. They did get a ton of speed though as well as got some quality big guys up front. Speed kills.

This is a very reasonable take on the recruiting. If you look at the JCs this year there were a couple of positions that Utah really needed immediate help with and that is what they targeted with JCs. I think the reason that they went after so many is because of the poor success rate with JCs. If 2-3 of them pan out, the Utes will be in good shape.

Hallelujah says he is not exUte. It think you should respect that and leave it alone. Are you trying to run him off?

Actually, you're both right. I prefer to view it as two BCS Bowl Wins in the last five billion years. That makes any difference between BYU's and Utah's BCS performance statistically insignificant.

That kind of kills the outright conference championship titles as well for both schools too.

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure we were kicking your ass in the preexistence.

According to my understanding of choices made in the preexistence, the Prophet was a Ute then.

That may be all I have, but I'll take it.
