Recruiting in the lifeblood of college football.
No matter how good coaches are, they must have players to win games.
That makes this time of year so important for college football programs as they try to build a winning team.
While landing big-time recruits is key for the success of a program, talent evaluation is even more important. Coaches need to be able to analyze a player's talent and potential no matter what his star rating is.
The coaches at BYU, Utah and Utah State have done an excellent job at recognizing potential in lower-ranked student-athletes and helped them become stars in college.
