I was worried that we had shot ourselves in the foot a bit by recruiting Florida so hard the past few years. Don’t get me wrong, we got some great players who will pay major dividends in the near future, but we all knew Erickson was on his last leg (so to speak). California and Texas are key if Utah is going to continue to compete at a high level, and it’s awesome to see that half the signees so far are Texans.
Also great that all others (except one) are homegrown. The state of Utah is becoming a micro-mecca for recruiting, with the poly pipeline and all. Utah needs to protect it at all costs. We’ll always get some poaching from PAC-12 schools, but the infiltration by the BIG10 and other conference schools in recent years is troubling. Stay the f**k away khakis.
