Yeah, we brought in transfers each of the past 2 seasons and played them ahead of recruited talent.
It was apparent we lost Medlock over this (transferred to a good program btw) and could have lost Fotu.

Interesting – he seems really down on Kansas compared to the consensus
He has it kind of tiered out
1. Utah
2/3. Kansas St / Okla St
4/5. Arizona / Iowa St
6. West Virginia
7/8/9. Kansas / TCU / UCF
10/11/12. Baylor / Cincy / Texas Tech
13. Colorado
14. BYU
15. ASU
16. Houston

It’s already been hit upon that 247 assigns too much value to class size (though it does have some value*) but I’ll add that our 2023 class was stronger than our 2024 class
A big part of that was that the 2023 class was simply stronger in the local area AND Utah cleaned up in-state.
For 2024, there were fewer top prospects in Utah and BYU got…[Read more]

Would be a huge get. We’ve been so stacked at linebacker that we’ve had a lot of great recruits jump ship (Medlock, Chambliss, Tafuga, Tabaracci).
It’s been a position we’ve really recruited well, but a lot of those recruits haven’t ended up long term answers. And I’m not sure it’s a development issue since lots of them have been blocked by…[Read more]

Graduation, draft declarations, retirements, return missionaries, PTO scholarship awards etc. all factor.
All teams have same scholarships, but in any given year none of them have the same returning players on scholarship due to all of these factors mentioned. So, recruiting class sizes vary accordingly.

This topic is a pet peeve of mine. The only correct answer is: Play whatever music the majority of the team likes. So likely some modern hip hop…Migos, Drake, 21 Savage, etc.
Our fans are predominantly older white males, therefore you want music that appeals to older white males. I’m sorry but our players do not like butt rock. Play your ACDC,…[Read more]

1. Transfers (in and out) change the number of available slots.
2. Class sizes are not equal.
Yergensen replied to the topic Does anyone know why our recruiting in the forum Football 22 hours, 41 minutes ago
Class ranking is not the right metric. It factors quantity of recruits/class size. So you can have a small class of 10 recruits whose avg recruit score/talent score is 90 (see Colorado) and another team whose class of 25 recruits with an avg recruit score is 85 (see BYU) and the latter gets a higher class ranking.
The key recruiting metric is the…[Read more]

Thatcher, 4-Star LB out of LV NV, will announce this evening (6pm MST). He was originally predicted as a USC commit, then UW. Now, after visiting UTAH on June 07, he has moved his announcement date up and is predicted to commit to the UTES! He’d be a fantastic get…

Ozzy Osbourne opening “O Fortuna”
Coolest concert I’ve ever been to.
Lights go out and then the team runs through the fire flames and smoke
Strobe lights and highlights synchronized to the music.
This would only really play well during night games

different role. If Johnson turns out like people are hoping he’ll be more similar to Blackmon or RJ than Bishop
