That's not really the percentage of how much of a chance we have with each guy. That's just how many of their "analysts" think we'll get the guy. With the 0% and the 100% guys, it's probably just one guy that thinks that and no one else has yet to put in an opinion on and so with Ah You, 1 out of the 3 guys who have opinions about him thinks he will go to BYU. The percentages really mean nothing in my book. It's fun to look at though :P

Well I guess it is the best that we have to go on. I assume these analyst have a better idea than anyone else.

Scout just updated their rankings for all 2017 prospects.. . bunch of our guys got boosted from 2 star to 3 star status. Here are the guys who were 2-stars that are now 3 stars:

Ryan Rehkow - now ranked the #12 kicker in the class.
Paul Finaua- now ranked the #102 guard in the class.
Tyler Batty - Ranked the #134 DE in the class (I was always surprised he wasn't ranked higher, he was highly sought after).
Tongi Langi - #143 Safety
Ammon Hanneman - #145 Safety
Keenan Ellis
Preston Lewis

Class rank has moved from 80 to 71. Not pick up some studs this weekend to move us up into the 60's or higher.
