Yep, Utah is in on a bunch of top Utah guys this year, more than in most years,

but Utah is generally going up against other P12 teams for those guys, not BYU. However, if Utah did not land those guys, and the other non-LDS guys from out of state, then they would be going more and more for the next tier of recruits in Utah and LDS guys in the West.
