National Signing Day is here - is it going to be good for Utah?

This was insightful, thanks for the summary. Good job as always.

If we get Peterson, I will be shocked. Word is, he has all but sent in the letter to Arkansas, but you just never know.

I still think we can land Pomee and Henderson. USC has recruited as though they have 25 scholarships available. though unlikely, the NCAA could shoot down their petition today and they would be down to 15. That means 10 guys they already have would be jettisoned and Pomee and Henderson would come crawling back to the Utes.

seem to be coming straight from the Utah Athletics Twitter account.

Every commit not “undecided” (i.e not on Jazzy’s list above) has officially signed with Utah except for Keith McGill, so no shocking defections. Here’s hoping for some pleasant surprises throughout the rest of the day.

Signed with Arkansas. Unfortunately, I think that Arkansas will give some others the boot and make him a priority.

Utezone has breaking news that this guy has decommited from ASU and committed to the utes!

While we have a pretty good recruiting class so far, the next four-five hours will give us a good feel for just how much our program has improved in the minds of top recruits. I’m sooo damn anxious to see us solidify ourselves in the new league… and what’s this? Someone other than Eubanks decommiting from ASU in favor of the Utes? Can this be the beginning of a snowball from Sun Devil’s Stadium?

Hey guys. It looks like you’re putting together a pretty nice class – especially that brute RB Langi.

Best of luck picking up Lucien and Pomee. I’d much rather see them with you than Ucla or SC.

You can do so here!

Whatever. I have no problem with him going to Arizona State. He committed there and certainly the odds were stacked against the Utes.

But to do the fake out is a total douche move.

Oh well.

until Pedroza switched, then my hopes soared – only to be dashed against the rocks or reality.

When he picked up the Utah hat I was like WTF? Am I dreaming?

That’s the only downside, I think, for this year’s class.

We lost a couple of guys but, Utah got the running backs they wanted and an upgrade at receiver with some good guys on the line. According to rivals and scout, this is the 2nd best class the Utes have ever brought to SLC.

If they can win BCS bowl games with mostly 2-star recruits, I think they will be able to add some depth for the upgrade in schedule and at least be competitive until they can become more firmly entrenched with greater exposure in the PAC12. We’ll see how it all shakes out on the field.

We have to have a decent offense before we can add a QB, have to catch some eyes. I hoped Chow would help us land a QB.

Let’s put our trust in our coaching and hope that no matter how many stars a guy gets, he’ll be made into a better player.

Probably not getting him or Pomee but we’re allowed one last dream, right?

I hate the off-season.

Henderson talked in length why he liked Utah and actually sounded like he might be leaning toward that. In fact, every statement he made was about the program.

He thought the campus set it apart from the other schools he visited. He liked the coaches. But, more importantly, he liked they were going to the Pac-12.

BUT

Pomee decided on SC and it looks like Henderson was going wherever Pomee picked.

Now we wait until spring practice to see how the new boys perform. Should be good. QB situation a bit shallow, but we should be able to put together a good squad.
