Coming and going at Utah State

The following is from USUBlue and details the final destinations of the recruits in Utah State's last six recruiting classes. There's a whole lotta turnover going on and quite a number of recruitments in the 'never should have been' category. Winning helps soften the numerous departures but so many clearing out and heading elsewheres makes it difficult to maintain the needed "spacing" between classes so that a coach has the optimum number in each year and not something like six seniors graduating all at once:

Well, in my opinion recruiting had fallen off for at least 6 years, but I didn't realize how much. IMHO, even at the WAC level, our recruiting has been getting worse. Here's the numbers -- of the 34 LOI players (Harris and Clifford not counted - weird situations) that were signed by USU, only 10 of the those finished eligibility at USU and 6 are still uncertain about where they will finish. 18 players left USU for whatever reason before using up their eligibility -- or less than 40% finished (10/28), with 6 undecided. Not a good trend no matter what conference nor how blue the glasses.
