Wow - Utah definitely got the best of this deal. You can start to see now the power of the Pac 12. Hansen of LP is a prime example. I'm surprised BYU didn't try to match 6'4" Hansen of LP by going after 5'8" Nelson of Logan at QB. BYU loves these 5'8" Nelson QB's after all!!

Dear Patriot,
BYU is fully loaded at Quarterback for many years to come. Drool all you want over Chase Hansen, but BYU is in great shape at quarterback with Elite 11 co-MVP Tanner Mangum headed to Provo. Matt Hadley seems to have a lock on the No. 1 spot for weekly performances of incoming recruits. This is the first week in awhile for Utah to have 2 recruits mentioned, along with 2 from BYU, which has had 3 in a couple of the recent weekly listings. Your assessment that Utah is dominating the recruiting battles shows your red bias.

pretty sure byu's last elite 11 mvp wowed us all to the bench. i don't put tons of stock in "big name" recruits until after they've put in time with the program. there's too much to factor in, especially for the utah schools as most of these kids that show up on these lists will be lds mission kids.

@Patriot - Why does Scout rank BYU's current recruiting class 34th and Utah's 65th?

Also, I'm not sure why BYU would go after Nelson when they have Hill and Mangum just to name a couple coming in. I'm not sure Nelson would see that as the best situation for his playing prospects either.

"Williams had a very efficient day running the football during his team's 51-0 win over Patriot."

Sorry Patriot, LOL

Eric weddle.... One star recruit.... Started as a freshman...... NEVER lost to byu...... Highest paid safety in the league...... Rating kids out of high school does NOTHING for the kid or the school. Latest example? The savior/future greatest QB, Jake heaps.

Do you not remember Harline is still open. I am pretty sure that Weddle was the db on that final play that did not make a play. He is a great player but he did in fact lose to BYU!

@ Ramarama Weddle never lost to BYU?? Do you not recall Beck to Harline? @ patriot what is Utah's record in the Pac-12? Not as good as BYU's, one of those 5'8 "Nelson" QB's has BYU out to 6-2 record. Guess a 5'8 "Nelson" QB is better that a Division 2 John Hays.

So when BYU has a higher over all recruiting class, Utes bring the Eric Weddle stories? But when Utah looks to have a few good recruits upcoming, its all because of the Pac12 and star rankings are gospel and thats what we should expect to see from here on out?

Just like U always wanting it both ways.

Very bizarre ! How can anyone from Plano TX know anything about a kid from Logan Utah ? Or for that matter know anything about any of these Utah High school football players ?

Make comments about Texas talent at least you would display some class and a little relevance.
