That’s been the case for years. Those guys Utah offers, the ones in common with BYU, often do end up at Utah. Performance and perception bring them that way. You have all these Utah-based guys, and many other potential BYU recruits, on their 2019 roster in supposedly their most talented year ever, and you’re going to claim they don’t go after Cougar recruits when they’re good? Utah is FILLED with BYU recruits.
They’re offering the best of our top targets, and unfortunately many of those eventually succumb or flip their recruitment. That was not so much the case when BYU was better.
