TBS is reporting in the forum that Ryker Mathews committed last night. That is great news.



IF BYU can pick up Langi, this will be a stellar, albeit smaller, class.

Reports are that Ryker commit to BYU last night. Twitters from KALL700 and other places confirm it. Rivals has the kid as the #1 recruit in Utah. Huge get. Let's hope Harvey Langi is noticing because that is one awesome lineman to have block for you, along with the others BYU added already.

Monstrous!!!! Very exciting. Hopefully Harvey "re-thinks" his Stanford leanings.

I think some of these kids are straight to mission. I beleive BYU has 2 spots left--for Langi and Sampson. If one commits, I think they are done. Both is awesome. If neither, I think they go get 1 more. I really think the rest of done, barring changes of heart--ala the Hawaii kids.

I know Harvey. I've seen him wearing Utah apparel. I know that he's a Utah fan. Unless something really awesome happens with conference realignment or he decides to hook up with all of the awesome guys on our football team heading to BYU I doubt it will happen. Keep a lookout for Stefen Cantwell. He's the QB (at Bingham) but i could see him playing multiple athletic positions in College. He had 3 touchdowns (Harvey had 2) and more yards than Harvey in the State game last year and he was the backup QB and didn't even play until the 3rd quarter! Harvey probably wouldn't like the honor code either since he is used to getting all the women he wants. My guess is that he either goes to Utah or Stanford. One last hope is that now that we got the #1 OL he would want a piece of that. By the way, his size doesn't fit his position. I could see him being an unbelievably amazing WR or TE because he is tall (I believe 6'2"), strong, fast, and has really great hands. Plus he knows how to score. School starts again Thursday. I'll see if I can get any info on Harvey. In the meantime, Bingham won its first game last night 51-0 against Viewmont. If that's not domination then I don't know what is. Check out the game this weekend against Alta(The only team that has beaten us in the Playoffs since 2006) should put a little perspective on how really great Bingham is this year.

Joe Sampson was at the UW game, and it sounds as if he is ready to commit soon, one way or the other.

not bad considering

1. early commits that tend to hurt their stars

2. early BYU commits that tend to hurt their stars

3. small recruiting class due to tiny BYU senior class

4. Absolutely awful ratings for studs like Ryker Mathews (4 stars easy), Joe Sampson(3 stars easy) and Alex Kuresa (3 stars easy)



I think the next guy we see to commit will be DE Sam Meredith; he won't make the SAT he needs/wants for Stanford. I'd like to see them nab Meredith and Aulelio Olumua and call it a day, unless they can find another Corby Eason out there with 3 to play 3. (he's out there coaches, go find him). Meredith is adamant about going on a mission.



From all reports, Harvey Langi is another Shakerin. A highly thought of kid at the high school level that won't exactly dominate at the college level; in fact I' ve heard he's really stiff as a running back and might make a better tight end or receiver. He won't make the grades/SAT to get into Stanford and then Utah is the most likely destination. Utah would take him just to buck the idea that BYU wins all the recruiting battles in spite of need. We'd take him for depth and overall talent but I don't think this kid is the next big thing. Just a really good football player that may or may not do well at the next level.



I've also heard that Langi would have a hard time with the honor code.



What confuses me most about Langi, is that Stanford has commitments from 3- *4* star tailbacks already. I guess he enjoys the bench. Maybe he'll end up like Stanley Havili and rush for less than 400 yards for his entire college career. Then you consider that Harbaugh is looking to leave for Michigan or the NFL (both are possibilities this year) then it doesn't make a ton of sense.

I have a good Ryker Mathews story I heard this week from someone who knows the kid. Said he went out for a burger with teh kid, and asked him what he wants from life, and if BYU r Utah helps him get it. So they outlined church aspects, potential marriage aspects, etc., and after that Ryker commit to BYU the next day. Also was told that AF has some really good players coming up that are leaning BYU.

Anyone think our class is done this year with Langi looking elsewhere? Do we really have a free scholarship, or were we just finding a way to squeeze him in when we hoped he would fit here?

We definately havea free scholarship for next year now... one was handed back to Bronco in the form of Jake Heaps locker contents.

Rhett Sandlin

Safety 6'3" 200 lbs.

Alta High (Sandy, Utah)

Getting a major Andrew Rich vibe with this kid, with his size and tackling ability. Let's hope so...

I just worry that if he actually had any speed, that this wouldn't be his 1st offer. I hope I'm wrong. At 6'3" and as well as he tackles in high school, he'll at least make a special teams ace and potential backup linebacker project if all else fails.



Our future Andrew Rich is on his mission (Craig Bills) and he's really really good.

Just read an article today on the kid, and the Alta coach said he is one of the fastest kids on his team, and compared him to Pendleton style wise. Said he expects him to play either safety or OLB at BYU. In either is true, I take it. good size for both, and if he has Rich type speed, I would be pleased. Safeties are not usually burners, but some speed is nice.
