What happened to these Utah Commits
I know Ute fans hate it when BYU fans tease them for not getting commits in but it seems that every year, there are 7-8 guys that never make it. This does not take into account guys going on missions like at BYU.
UTAH Recruits last 2 years that are not on the team. 2006 Chet Blasucci Joseph Faifili Pauli Latu Tony Smith Kenton Thomas Peter Tuitupou Mombroso Washington 2007 James Aiono Mike Honeycutt Thor Salanoa Damilyn Tanner Westlee Tonga Reggie Topps BYU recruits that are not on the team (not including missionaries) 2006 Sam Doman (Left team this year) Matt Johnson Michael Moore (Made it to school but quit football) Tico Pringle (Played 1 year before transferring) Matangi Tonga (Played 1 year before personal issues) 2007 Ryan Kessman (Left team during year) Star Lotulelei I don't know if some of the Utah Players above were on the team and left for personal reasons like we had with the Cougars but I just found this interesting that to my knowledge, BYU had Matt Johnson and Star Lotulelei as the only recruits that did not qualify. |
Didn't BYU have a Thor Salanoa back in the 80s? Is the one mentioned above, his son?

He is but and he could be on a mission. I am not sure so that is why he is on that list. All the other guys are not LDS I believe.

No matter what the reason is for any of them who are no longer on either team, be it Utah or BYU, it really isn't an issue now. Both teams seemed to have survived without them. |

Star Lotulelei did not qualify and is no longer playing football, however he is preparing for a mission and some say he may try and play when he comes back. James Aiono did not qualify and is playing at Snow Peter Tuitupous mom works at BYU, and she was very upset when BYU did not offer, he also did not qualify and played at Snow this past year. Pauli Latu shot someone or was shot. Joseph Faifilli did not qualify. |
