We need all the good O-Line guys we can get.

What's his star ranking? Glad to get another Oregon flip.

Too bad, I was hoping he was a 4* guy. Another so-so pickup, but at least it's not a Weber State guy this time.

Why do BYU fans disparage their own recruits before they even get an opportunity to take the field? That's something I'll never understand.

Jamaal Williams? 3 star
Tejan Koroma? 2 star
Travis Tuiloma? 2 star
Mitch Mathews? 3 star
Sione Takitaki? 3 star
Taysom Hill? 3 star

The only 4 star guys I can think of currently on the team are Tanner Mangum and Fred and Troy Warner.

Edit--forgot Jonah Trinnaman and Handsome Tanielu. Max Tooley and Skyler Southam are on missions.

I wish we had a bunch more 3* guys. 2018 looks great so far.

Remember that time we got that QB that was 4 stars and then they couldn't complete a pass and so they left...

I'll take the 3 star recruits that are out to prove a point.
