    I was thinking that these are the level of recruits that you swipe from Utah state, CSU, Nevada at the end of the cycle after they blow up or if you need to fill a slot.

      This is true. It took us a good couple of years before we started poaching the best recruits from Texas.

        These guys don't exactly get my heart racing, but I'm a little more optimistic because the coaches are seeing them in person and making an evaluation with their own eyes.

        And like DDD said, after a year of playing in the PAC-12 the "Utah awareness level" will only increase and make it easier to attract top talent.

        • This isn't hard news, but current BYU commit Zach Lindsay (OL at Davis HS) is rumored to be "leaning 75/25 towards Utah".

          This could be bigger than a simple in-state defection; many insiders expect Troy Hinds and Lindsay to be a package deal.

            Lindsay is only worth it to get Hinds.

                  Did Utah up their standards now they're in the Pac-10?

                      Would it matter to the BYU fans who say this every time Utah wins a head-to-head recruiting battle?

                        If BYU is off the list for Lindsay then so is Stanford, Cal, and Notre Dame (if they would even offer). Makes me question whether Lindsay and Hinds are a package deal (as rumored) if 4/6 schools that Hinds has narrowed his list to woudn't accept Lindsay due to grades (Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame, BYU). That would leave Nebraska and Utah for Lindsay/Hinds and Nebraska only has about 12 scholarships to offer this year and already has a verbal from a DE. In other words, Nebraska won't have room to offer Lindsay unless the bottom falls out with their OL recruiting. So if Lindsay/Hinds are really a package deal, then it would seem Utah has a good chance unless BYU makes an academic exception.

                          Completely agree, especially since he probably doesn't want to follow the honor code.

                            LOL. This is so easy.

                            Lindsay is big. He's not particularly talented. A scholarship for him is a waste if it doesn't net you Hinds. BYU likely isn't going to land Hinds, so I am actually kind of glad to hear Lindsay might decommit.

                              I think the BYU actually has a really good shot with Hinds ... a really good shot. Also, Lindsay will be a Ute. They haven't been a package deal at any point. Troy has way too many options for that to have ever been a reality.

                                That was the rumor a few weeks ago. Jay Drew confirmed with his high school catch a few days ago that Lindsay was still 100% committed to BYU.
