Just because the Utes are on a bye week doesn't mean the coaches won't be busy? The biggest task this weekend? Recruiting. Utah will have its maximum seven coaches out on the road watching prospective future Utes. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham and defensive coordinator Gary Andersen are staying closer to home and watching their sons play for their respective high schools, Brighton and Juan Diego.
I know one recruit the Utes are really high on is 6-2, 285-pound defensive tackle Siosaia Tuipulotu from Euless Trinity H.S. in Texas. He is a former rugby player who has only been playing football for two years, but has shown enough potential to get attention from the Utes along with BYU, Nebraska and Purdue, among others.
