It's still recruiting. In fact, in many ways it's harder to recruit transfers.
Also, knowing what your team needs and doing whatever it takes to fill the position shouldn't be held against someone.
Also, not counting walk-ons like Ziggy is dumb too. No one else wanted him, and Bronco turned him into a top 5 pick. First one for BYU in decades (ie, more than one decade).
