KW is a very good recruiter, but to be honest, it didn't hurt KW at all that Shakerin and Bo Nagahi are cousins. That said, landing Kruger and apparently Shak along with Tuimauga is very solid work by KW and the other coaches.

Another good get for the Yewts. I guess we'll have to see if they start coming our way after we beat them three years in a row. Congrats to the Utes.

Wishful thinking by some zoobs, unless zoob is a subset of BYU fans. We were recruiting him, we wanted him and the Utes got him. Kudo's to the Utes. It honestly doesn't bother me a bit. I personally doubt he would have seen the field at LES much as a running back. That isn't sower grapes and just my opinion. If he turns out awesome, then I will wish he had gone to BYU. |

I'd like to have Kruger, Shak and Siliaga. I think all 3 have very bright D-I careers ahead of them. Tuimauga won't do anything at the next level. Kid can barely run, weighs in excess of 365+ pounds and is like the super mega fat O-lineman that BYU used to recruit, hoping they'd pan out and then they wouldn't.

- the BYU RB situation appears fairly well set for the next 3-4 years - Shakerin is not LDS - Shakerin is by all accounts a Ute fan and has ties to the program - the Ute program is solid He seemed like he was Utah's to lose, and I wonder if the greater competition didn't/won't come from out of state. Good job by KWhit and staff to bring him in, especially given that he got a lot of out-of-state attention. BYU had to go after him by virtue of him being local. I'm not surprised at all.

Utah is going to win some recruiting battles. It isn't the end of the world when they do. |

I didn't mention it because Yewt "fans" start freaking out when that line is addressed. His buddy and teammate Kendric Moeai....a 6'4 WR that also verballed to utah is struggling academically as well. BYU has a verbal from a RB near Oakland,,,Seta Pouhaha that is also a long shot to qualify academically.

I also find it funny that some call it rationalizing to think the fact that BYU has a superior runningback to anything on Utah's roster and that Harvey is a freshman might have had any influence on the Shaks decision. Regardless what we really learn is there is still much to do. While BYU emasculated Utenation this past year, Kyle is not going down without a fight. I will not be satisfied in Zoob dominance until even the Devil worshippers who are good football players are knocking on Saint Mendenhall's door begging to be BYU Cougars. So buck up folks, pick up your bootstraps and get to work!

As I understand it, Boo Williams is in the same boat as far as qualifying academically.
