on part of the problem.

This Universe article says that:

- only two of Bronco's recruited have been drafted, while Whitt has 16

- Utah took a bunch of two-star HS athletes and put them in the NFL.

- since joining the Pac-12, Utah seldom recruits two-star athletes (which used to be their bread and butter) and now have three-star athletes as their baseline.

Utah has, over the past decade, been better at developing talent and, since going into a P5 conference, their recruiting has brought in better athletes.
