247 show Utah with the 16th highest class, the next highest PAC 12 team is Stanford at 26.

Rivals has Utah at 21, with USC ahead at 16, and Stanford and UCLA around 40. They have Martinez at 60, and Lohner at 110.

Ther may be a lot to criticize Larry about, but I don’t hunk this recruiting class is one of them.
Look. I’ve never criticized his recruiting. I’ve only criticized inaccurate information.

I’m sorry you went to all this work, because these rankings are absolutely meaningless at this point. Only the early signing period has passed. There are a whole bunch of highly regarded recruits unsigned.

There is no science to which ranking is better. The only disparagement of ESPN I’ve heard here. (I know they were right about Childs.) It’s all subjective and fraught with bias anyway. And there are a lot of similarities. In any event, it looks like the Utes are on schedule to drop below 30th when recruiting is done for 2020. I don’t say this to disparage our recruiting. On the contrary. It’s just reality. You can deny reality, but facts don’t care.
