Numero 18

To many people (such as myself) recruiting is a season. If so, BYU would once again be the Conference Champions, steamrolling every team just like the 2006 football season. Just how bad is it?

BYU reached 18 commits yesterday (more on that soon.) That ranks them #5 in the country. The next closest? Wyoming with 4. The whole conference (minus BYU) COMBINED has 14 (Air Force does not report early commits.) BYU has 8 players from the Northwest Hot 100 (from scout.com) and the list keeps growing.

BYU received a verbal commitment yesterday from Sealver Siliga (6'3 340 DT) of Copper Hills High School in West Jordan, Utah. Siliga has the size to play either way, but I would assume he will stay at DT.

Until the 4th of July, BYU's Scout page is free, so check out the article here.

You can't teach size and Siliga has definitely mastered that asset. However, he is no slouch, having won the Utah Power lifting competition in 3 categories. He benched 370, squatted 540 and cleaned 315. Its no wonder he was named All-Region 3 (with BYU recruits such as Jordan Pendleton and Austin Holt.) Last season Siliga had 5 sacks and 63 tackles, great stats for a DT that is mainly responsible for clogging the line.

My 3 Cents: Siliga is a huge recruit (literally.) I am very excited about him and his decision to come to BYU. He will be a great nose-tackle and run stopper in the future.

I will be updating the recruit section this morning, looks like some more have been evaluated.
