Well, shit. We lost out to Utah State!? Not trying to be dramatic, but this feels like a new low. Utah State has had its successes in recent years, but they have a new coach and an uncertain future. Brown had an opportunity to play in the Big Ten, for fuck sakes!

Bigger is not always better. Do you know how many people select new jobs based on familiarity/previous experience with their manager/leadership? This is no different. Jumping to the biggest brand/company/conference is not the #1 deciding factor for lots of people.

I think as soon as reasonable people in this thread realized we were up against his previous coach at Utah State, it was assumed it was going to be an uphill battle for Brown. Your post making it seem like this was simply a comparison of schools/conferences is disingenuous at best.

PS. Utah State has been a tourney team for most of the past 5 years.

All true, but... Anyone can come up with any number of reasons why nobody would ever sign here. At the end of the day, if it didn't involve recruiting, it wouldn't be called recruiting. At the end of the day, who's on your roster, and how many games can you win?

Yep. Utah State was a tournament team most those years because of...Craig Smith. Then they hired a coach who had to do a complete rebuild, and made the tournament...in year two.
 

Prolly the huge NIL available in (checks wikipedia) Logan, Utah.

In the WAC.

CBJ just cant be expected to land these guys when heavyweights like USU enter the room.

Utah St is in the Mountain West, finished 2nd in the conference to the national runner-up and made the tournament. They're just not a traditional name

Are we really trying to justify losing a recruit at a position of desperate need to a Mountain West school?
