PROVO — BYU's football signing class of 2018 was considered by recruiting services to be among the weakest in program history. But according to Cougar coach Kalani Sitake, this year's group of incoming freshmen has generally impressed and have developed further during fall camp than the past two groups he's overseen while in Provo.

“Our coaches really like the youth of this team and I think they help complement and give us more depth,” said BYU coach Kalani Sitake. “They’re more ready to play than other freshmen we’ve had at this time.”

Of course what players ultimately do on the field of play determines how good a recruiting class is, although practice sessions give a far greater indicator than any stars allocated or other recruiting evaluation.
