As I said a few weeks ago you don’t use recruit rankings this early in the process to flex on your rival. In the end you’ll just look foolish. Utah is currently ranked 12th in the Big12 Conference despite having more commits (20) than BYU (12). And BYU’s not done yet!

BYU fANS BYU has had a great run of outstanding recruits commmit to the Coach Sitake and his Cougar staff over the past couple of days! But they’re not done! Expect another announcement soon from another outstanding athlete to commit to BYU. Go Cougars!
