Troy Hinds?

Ron Mexico

Meant to be under main thread

Ron Mexico

From what I understand....

WJCougar

1/18/12 3:58pm

Troy, yeah, that was a slip

ChopperDave

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

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

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

Bluedomination

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

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

Bluedomination

1/18/12 4:25pm

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

Bluedomination

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

Bluedomination

1/18/12 3:58pm

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

Crazy Cajun

1/18/12 3:59pm

They got lucky in many regards though

I love this

jdart

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

OGSuperfan

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

PhillyYFan

example of what drugs can do to the brain

bluelands

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...
