Players coached or recruited at BYU that Grimes wasn't involved with:
Kingsley Suamataia- 5* o-lineman that could be a first round draft pick next year.
Ethan Thomason- high 3 star offensive lineman that had offers from 16 P5 schools.
Dylan Rollins (0.8456)- Multiple P5 offers. On his mission
Elia Migao (0.8641)- didn't qualify academically, went to Utah State
Weston Jones (0.842)- just got back from a mission. Offers from multiple P5 programs.
Sione Hingano (0.8259)- just got back from a mission.
Lisala Tai (0.8504)- multiple P5 offers. Projected to be a possible starter this fall.
Peter Falaniko (0.8415)- projected to be in the 2 deep this fall
Vae Soifua (0.8370)- projected to be in the 2 deep this fall
Paul Maile (0.8800)- projected starter this fall
Ian Fitzgeral (0.8600)- projected in the 2 deep this fall
Waylin Lapuaho (0.8500)- projected in the 2 deep, possible starter this fall

Here are all the players recruited by Grimes:
Connor Pay (0.8519)- multi year starter
Jacob Smith (0.8412)- no longer at BYU, never played
Campbell Barrington (0.8385)- starter at BYU. Transferred to Baylor to follow Grimes because he was mad he wasn't getting enough playing time at BYU. Charmin soft, and got beat out by guys younger than him.
Tysen Lewis (0.7903)- no longer at BYU, never played.
Elijah Unutoa (0.8499 rating)- hung up his cleats and never played a down of college football
Blake Freeland (0.8418)- coached 2 years by Grimes, 2 years by Funk. Will likely be a 2nd round draft pick
Sonny Makasini (0.8098)- hasn't played any meaningful snaps yet for BYU
Brock Gunderson (0.8319)- no longer at BYU, didn't play a snap
Jake Griffin (0.8268)- hasn't played at BYU yet
Isaiah Tupou (0.8336)- returned from his mission this winter, was moved to walk on and he left the team.

You can't look at those two lists and honestly say that our future is bleak or that the quality isn't as good as what Grimes brought in or coached. We are every bit as good as we were when Grimes was here.
