RE: They got lucky in many regards though

Texas always finishes with the top or near the top of the recruiting class each year but that doesn't translate into a National Championship like maybe it should. They are paper tigers. With Riley we beat them going away last year. Not impressed! Utah can have all of the stars they want as long as we beat them on the field. Nothing trumps hype as a good old butt whooping on the field. I know. 54-10... OUCH!

Troy Hinds?

Meant to be under main thread

From what I understand....

WJCougar

1/18/12 3:58pm

Troy, yeah, that was a slip

ChopperDave

1/18/12 4:04pm

According to Rivals, yes. According to Scout, no.

Tokolosh

1/18/12 3:56pm

And this is a very small class for BYU this year.

kccougar

1/18/12 3:57pm

I think we had a similarly small class last year

So in conclusion, who knows?

Rivals is the more respected site nationally

Actually, there was a study done a couple yrs...

Hardly, our classes are basically rated the same

therock

1/18/12 3:57pm

If Scout has Utah 4 Spots better than Utah is doing well

jdart

1/18/12 4:02pm

Class size has affected the overall ratings on scout and

raidingtombs

1/18/12 4:04pm

By comparission, Rivals has Utah at 28 and byu not in top 50

jdart

1/18/12 4:04pm

The recruiting quality is about the same on both sites

kimdaddy35

1/18/12 4:08pm

With out your 5 extra recruits BYU would be killing Utah on

1/18/12 4:06pm

The only reason Utah is higher is due to the # of commits

therock

1/18/12 4:06pm

I'm a Utah fan, I don't read Scout

jdart

1/18/12 4:08pm

But you certainly don't have a problem quoting it and being

Here are the numbers.

raidingtombs

1/18/12 4:08pm

Rivals numbers:

jdart

1/18/12 4:15pm

If either fan base looks at ESPN we are both unhappy ;)

1/18/12 4:25pm

Rivals numbers for BYU is 2.93. Kolton Dohnovan is going to

1/18/12 4:33pm

I actually think that Utah was ranked higher than BYU last

Zinger

1/18/12 4:20pm

Of course Utah's JC's (JC's ALWAYS have padded stars) are

darkcoug

Rocky Hinds? USC transfer to UNLV

Jericho

1/18/12 3:57pm

Look up all of the cougar stat tweets and you will see that

1/18/12 3:58pm

Why do you think Utah fans are so happy to get invited to

Crazy Cajun

They got lucky in many regards though

I love this

jdart

Riley would have played a quarter and a half and gotten hurt

OGSuperfan

1/19/12 8:31am

So even tho most Ute fans admit the past 2 yrs recruiting...

Looks like past recruiting years at the Ewe. A handful of

We need to be better at this

Douger

February championship means squat when you lose

WDaddy

1/18/12 4:03pm

So now we lose both championships

ChopperDave

1/18/12 4:04pm

Doh!

WDaddy

1/18/12 7:10pm

Amazing that they mean so much to the Utes all of a sudden.

kccougar

1/18/12 4:32pm

We should just pack it in.

Bob Vance

1/18/12 4:11pm

Yeah, that's what I'm saying

ChopperDave

1/18/12 4:29pm

If you factor in our RMs, no, though honestly

I'mBatman

1/18/12 8:03pm

On paper maybe. That doesn't always translate into more

Byu Badger

1/19/12 1:18am

My point was never that Utah would not recruit better...

BluePuppy

1/19/12 9:23am

Yep, they sure haven't got a recruiting boost from the P12

therock

1/19/12 10:14am

Not really. They're still ranked in the mid-40's to low 50's

Melkor

1/19/12 7:39pm

No. BYU and Utah have very comparable...
