So how do the coaches land the 4/5 star guys?  What changes to encourage these guys to pick Utah?

Especially the instate guys: Jay Tufele, Puka, the Sewell brothers (those two should be Utes – why didn’t the coaches seal the deal when Nephi was a senior in HS? That one still stings).

The out of state players are more difficult, but the defensive guys who should naturally be inclined to pay for a perenial top 15 defense.

I think of Eno Benjamin, Jayden Daniels, Talanoa Hufanga, etc – they all seemed on the brink of coming to Utah – how can the coaches close the deal? 

I thought Jack Tuttle would be a huge difference maker by the way he recruited and used social media – maybe more recruit involvment?  

Fans can’t recruit per the NCAA, and technically aren’t even allowed to respond to twitter posts, but perhaps mass likes and retweets?  An inundation of free/inexpensive Ute gear to the Utah highschools? Plaster “Family on 3” and “SafetyPride” everywhere?

Great advice. That is what my son and his friends are trying to do – find cheap tickets:)

Thank you!  The tickets are not free and they are student tickets, but hopefully he won’t have any problems.
