You mean the state where BYU is no longer confined to the state?

And instead is getting non-LDS athletes from around the country, both high school and transfers? You could fit about 5 Utah's worth of D-1 prospects just in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro. They not only have speed like Covey...they have size. BYU is making inroads there.

I like the fact that we are getting the Hoffman's and the Willis's...and the Canada's...etc. Let's not lose sleep over what happens in Utah. We will get our fair share. But the reach of the program is being greatly expanded. That's something to celebrate.

I don't care about Utah. I am talking about owning our state in recruiting

All is well, similar records to SDSU, Nevada, and Fresno State over same time

I would agree with you if those players were a significant upgrade over local

Tell you what. Pick the non-LDS, out of Utah kid on the team...

There's no trend.

Great post, solid take, I think the problem is not who we go after . . .

Cougarcoisa

There is no such thing as a slam dunk and it's pompous to think there should be.

Not pompous, it's math

If they were truly convinced about Covey, they would have offered sooner.

I didn't say they did.

I agree more speed at Utah making a difference. Not much of it from Utah HS

Of course the larger receivers have more yards, look at first downs.

The issue is that BYU wanted him, he is LDS, and he picked Utah over BYU. When

I doubt he picked Utah because of NFL aspirations.

Utah has been getting the Covey-type of kids all along. I don't think it means

I doubt a smurf like Covey is NFL material, whether he attends BYU or Utah
