Our recruiting rankings the last 6 years, regularly put us in the bottom half of college football teams. BSU had a higher class ranking each of the last 4 years per ESPN.

247 has a cumulative ranking for on field talent currently in each program, and BYU (81) is behind BSU (70) and CSU (79) and just ahead of Fresno St. (83) and SDSU (86).

I know recruiting rankings dont tell the whole story, and can vary widely depending where you look. Dont get me wrong, I think Kalani has found some hidden gems, and landed some big recruits, but overall, especially against better teams the talent level of BYU lags behind the opponent, and that goes for both players and coaches.
