Our definition of excellent isn't the P5 definition of excellent.

Michael Daley was rated 82.8, the #1752 overall recruit and #124 OLB in the class. He had offers from BYU, Air Force and UNLV. Getting a local kid (American Fork) with those ratings/offers isn't any sort of a recruiting coup (note that doesn't mean he won't be good, players outperform - or underperform - their recruit ratings all the time)

Tate Romney is more a border case, not quite top 1000 (my normal mark for a quality recruit), but very close at 1068 and the #67 OLB in the class. 85.2 overall is good, but not great (would have ranked 14/23 in Utah's class that year). Had some P5 offers but mostly from the weaker recruiting ones (Vanderbilt, Wazzu, Utah, Cal, Colorado). Overall a definite win for BYU, but maybe not a huge one.

Schoonover is the one I think is most impressive (from a recruiting standpoint). He was a top 1000 guy (#887) and had offers from some bigger-name programs like UCLA and Nebraska. I'd consider him an excellent get.

I think we need to realign our recruiting expectations. Romney types should be the meat of our class with Daley types as depth and a few Schoonover (or higher) types as wins in recruiting
