BigBrotherUte Walk-on

does correlate with star ratings. Championship contenders also correlate with their recruiting rankings. A better indicator on whether you should be happy about a 2* or 3* recruit is who else recruited them.

Exactly right

hammergm

Would love to see more quality depth on both sides of the line and DBs

BYUgoslav

1/19/17 3:11pm

Exactly. I already like the numbers because of how many 3* we have

You can't deny that Utah's overall talent has improved with their star ratings

CaliWG

1/19/17 2:31pm

True, it has made a difference in depth

Solomon Levi

1/19/17 2:55pm

Still...

BYUgoslav

Agree

Solomon Levi

Utah has always excelled in the JC transfer game.

FrozenCoug

1/19/17 5:42pm

They like others have struck out with a bunch

BYU '80

1/19/17 6:47pm

BYU '80
