Because he is a fantastic player. Joining a terrific class

Sometimes hard to recruit well with so many freshmen and Soph starters.

I’m not comparing to BYU — just looking at Utah’s prospects going forward.

Look at Barton’s offer list. It’s a great get.

Both BYU and Utah benefit big time from LDS larger families.

This is an under-appreciated point of Big 12 inclusion.

Meh, low level guys angling for $, maybe just telling him what they thought he wanted to hear.

You seem to be forgetting that BYU is the PAC South Champion already.

Yep, supremacy of the pac12 south this year has already been decided, and it ain’t Utah.

Great win for BYU. But 1 loss out of 10 games isn't a sign of doom for the program. It's just

Okay. Well, from what you can gather in Utah recruiting. What makes you think the program is headed to decline?
