ColumbusCoug Walk-on

However, the haven't really been pursuing him for sometime. He has been a lock to BYU after his decommittment from Oregon. It very much is a recruiting win over the Utes yet it isn't a guy they have expected to get for several months.

If it didn't happen with every recruit BYU gets, it might be more believable.

If it was any other position I would agree. But they don't miss on many DT's. If they get

It's job security I guess. Gotta pander to the most insecure fan base

We're also not paid for our analysis.

Many times your sentiments come from those who are

And it's lame every time. I get that often the recruiting site guys are true

The worst part about Swinney is that he pretends like he's only a UCLA fan and

It's an access issue

Okay? Is that somehow supposed to inspire confidence?

That's the absolute worst part about it

I wanted him, but knew he was probably headed to BYU.

I think what he's saying is accurate but only because he was clearly going to Y

Utesplease

1/22/17 11:32am

The spin is what's inaccurate. He's implying that it wasn't a recruiting victory

Won't argue there

I really wanted Tuifua. He obviously wanted BYU.

Lol, I keep telling you guys that Tuifua was a nice get. If you're not gloating

No gloat - Y'all lost even though you attached ~5 qualifiers to the loss
