Utes pulling in 2nd best non-AQ recruiting class
Utah Utes
Top prospect: QB Derrick Brown (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta)
The Utes are putting together one of their better classes under coach Kyle Whittingham, and selling future Pac-10 play to recruits appears to be paying dividends. Utah already has 17 commits in its well-balanced class. Brown is a steal and should be a highly productive quarterback thanks to his great dual-threat skill set and athleticism out of the spread. Other schools may have passed over offensive tackle Daniel Kristensen (Salt Lake City/Cottonwood) because of his lighter frame, but we see a lineman with very good feet, agility and a high ceiling for physical development. Future depth has been added at receiver with several system-fitting prospects, including Charles Henderson (New Orleans/McDonogh).

Who wouldn't want to come to play for Utah?
If you were looking at non-AQ schools as of right now, I think it would be tough to turn down a team that will be going to a BCS conference the next year. We should be first, but i’ll take 2nd.
We will be in the PAC 10 next year ...
These recruits will never play a day in the MWC.
How are we a non-AQ recruiting team?

From the looks of it, the difference between Utah and TCU's classes are minimal.
But yeah, TCU is set to dominate the MWC for a looong time.
Maybe that’s why BYU wants to go independent.
Yes
I think they don’t see themselves overtaking TCU or Boise so they feel that if they can upgrade their schedule by going indy they can draw in more talent, or it’s simply a “TV contract keep bowl cash” decision.
