And boom goes the dynamite

The 2010 recruiting day is over. Exhausted? I am. It was a pretty spectacular day for the Utes, who, according to Rivals, produced the 32nd best class nationally and tops for a non-BCS team.

Speculation aside, I'm pretty excited about this class. If we're going on subjective rankings alone - it's probably the best we've seen here. Whether these players pan out, though, won't be known for at least a year (and that's stretching it). But for now, talk is good.

The class after the jump!

one of the utah signings made it to the sbnation blog.

not the front page. sbnation has a blog now for feedback and more information.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"
