In my 2008 Lindy's preview post I forgot to mention that Teo was ranked as the #6 overall prospect in the nation for next year. Between he and Big Red, I'm not sure who would be a bigger signing. Thoughts?

Three times BYU has gotten verbals from the best player at their position in the nation. Benji, Ngata and Ofa. Benji was grossly overrated, even when one figures in the contagiousness of pussyitis he probably contracted walking the halls of TO High School. Ngata gave us the dance and kicked us in the balls. Ofa was just mentally not ready for the rigors of college football and he never appears to have gotten there.

I hope BYU lands Manti, but BYU's history with these blue chippers is not real great. BYU seems to do statistically better with the next tier guys (Austin Collie, Jake Kuressa, Travis Bright, Reynolds brothers etc).

To answer your question I think Olsen was a bigger get as he was the #1 recruit in the nation in some lists and he was a skill player.
