I would think, and of course KW is going to put his own spin on things...which doesn't make him stupid or a liar...that he took guys who BYU had a mild interest in or who had BYU on there list somewhere and considered it a head to head victory when it might not have been.

I think the more likely scenario like us with Jacobson or you guys with A'sasa (sp) is that there was interest at first, but then the school took themselves out of the running because they knew their resources would be best used elsewhere...and to "save face" so to speak so that we don't have to say "BYU beat us for him" likewise you don't have to say "Utah beat us for that guy"

The Y got 26 guys and the U got 25 and for some (Riley Nelson) we got out recruited by Utah St...does it really mean anything? No...not much, although Riley might not enjoy meeting some of the fellas that might have been is signing buddies on Utah's Defensive Line.
