I addressed that point.
2. Gonzaga’s recruiting classes are about the same as BYU's, sometimes lower. I believe the Zags have had 1, maybe 2 classes rated in the top 25 ever. The highest ranked recruit, Zach Collins committed to GU before he started a HS game. He was a reserve as a junior playing behind 2 D1 players. He blew up his senior year and was ranked 32nd I believe. I will add that next year’s class will be highly ranked. Benefits of playing in the NC game?
In the last 20 years my guess is that BYU had higher ranked classes than GU.
