Scout.com's take on BYU, Utah
Sharing an assessment from Brandon Huffman, the regional recruiting manager for Scout.com on Utah and BYU's classes. Scout.com has BYU currently at No. 40, Utah at No. 54, a notch ahead of MWC rival TCU.
On BYU's class:
(BYU might drop down some in Scout's ranking since Kyle Van Noy won't join the team until Jan. 2010.)
"Van Noy is a phenomenal player, he is the best football player on the west coast," Huffman said. "I know people think they didn't get some great guys they were going after like Te'o but BYU did a good job getting on some players early."
On Utah's class:
"Utah signed a pretty good class. The biggest question I get is if the win over Alabama is going to be noticeable and usually the bumps are seen the next year. They still got a darn good class coming in with guys like Jordan Wynn and James Aiono."
He was surprised that Timpview's Xavier Su'a-Filo went with the UCLA Bruins over the Utes:
"But just the fact that Utah and BYU were in the mix with those other schools tells me how respected those programs are becoming," he said. "That they are mentioned in the final five and final three for players like that speaks to the programs' respect."
