Provo • A year ago at this time, BYU looked like it was going to land one of its best football recruiting classes ever.
But one by one, highly regarded prospects who had committed to coach Kalani Sitake began to look elsewhere, some before the Cougars’ disastrous 4-9 season, some during and some after.
Perhaps that’s why recruiting analysts are reticent to praise the class that Sitake and his mostly new coaching staff are building this year. In the football recruiting game, it’s not who you get a commitment from in June, it’s who you sign in February.
