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.
