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.
I believe Blasucci had injuries that ended his playing days and that Latu had eligibility issues, but those are the only names which I've heard any reason why they are no longer on the team.
