O'Dea guys feel like a miss, especially since they are both guys who could move inside. I also in general want almost any instate guy who is at least a high 3*.
DT feels like a perfect storm. We actually have a lot of potential good ones on the roster (though lacking youth). It feels like a position that's hard to project and staffs might be ok with leaning on the portal harder. There's very very few out west so they come at a premium. The Colorado DT is interesting because given the market it seems like bigger schools should be on him, but they're not. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a guy schools take a flyer on late (see Oklahoma already coming in).
There's a 6'2 360 DT who looks like a cartoon from SoCal committed to Arizona who I feel like we're going to swoop around on because stealing Arizona commits things like a Judd thing.
Umu-Cais (the Colo. DT) reached out to Oklahoma about a month ago after visiting Washington. He had been to a camp with them but they weren't really actively recruiting him.
If he was into us, I don't see why he'd be asking other programs to recruit him after our visit.
Kafusi cant sell. Not sure he can coach that well either. The fact that he hasn't pulled a single Utah high school recruit with his connections there makes him even more worthless.
Paopao has always been worthless getting talent. Was gifted some good in state recruits and did okay with them.
LB coach also appears to be a negative as well for talent acquisition. I like Tokio but he missed on a couple of other layups.
None of them seem like they should be coaching at this level.

Whiffing on the O’Dea guys is hard to just brush off.
Get the Colorado guy and you get a pass Breckterfield part deux.
They’re not getting the Colorado guy. He’s going to either NC or Oklahomo

Wasn't that Bott Mulitalo guy Kaufusi's actually nephew, and not just like "nephew?" and then we couldn't even get a visit out of him?
Old Miss and Oklahoma are both in the top 35 with low commit numbers and Auburn is 78 with only 9 commits.
