Here are a few of my takeaways when I see this list:
- First, recruiting ratings are important. Star ratings aren't perfect - Khyiris Tonga was a two-star recruit, for example. However, a lot of BYU's best players were highly regarded coming out of high school.
- BYU can still get highly-rated Quarterbacks.
- The Offensive Line makes up a large part of the top 25 - that can only mean good things for the BYU offense moving forward.
