How many kids from the Utah High School class of 2002 has played in or will get a good look from the NFL to some extent?

Ngata, Kuressa, Kehl, Coats, Tukafua..am I missing any others?

[MikeWaters]

I agree. Most of those guys suck.

[RockyBalboa]

Also 3 of the 5 early 09' Commits are from Utah.

Craig Bills - 4 Star rated Safety and rated by many as one of the top Safety prospects in the country.

Adam Timo - 4 Star Running back

Tui Crichton - O-lineman from Timpview...and I don't think he's been assigned a star rating yet, but my guess is 2, maybe 3 star rating.

The other 2:

Dan Aletto - Center from Colorado

J'ray Ga'leai - Safety/Athlete/Quarterback from Hawaii. I've heard rumors he might be coming back to Utah to play at Timpview, but don't know if that's true or not.

Even if J'ray Ga'leai comes to Utah I want BYU to recruit him. Nothing spells greatness like a name with not just one but two apostraphes.

Also....from what I'm hearing...there might be 1-3 recruits committing this weekend.

1 of them from Utah.

[il Padrino Ute]

C'mon, junkie, you need to quit denying that high school football in the state of Utah sucks. We know this because ReedPimp said so.

Is BYU is a good spot to get Brett Thompson?

Don't forget Bronson Kaufusi for 2010. I think that kid has some talent. Both on the field and in the gym playing hoops.
