ESPN Recruiting gurus Corey Long and Jamie Newberg checked in this week with updates on how Boise State, TCU and Utah are doing on the recruiting trail with two months to go before Signing Day. As expected, TCU has done very well in the state of Texas, while Boise State and Utah are mining their way through California.

Here are snippets of what they had to say about all three schools.

Boise State: "With limited talent available in Idaho, coach Chris Petersen and his staff must search far and wide for the players who will help the Broncos compete at the highest level. California and Texas are popular spots for the Broncos' staff, and the 2011 class has 12 of its 17 commitments from those two talent-rich states."

TCU: "TCU coach Gary Patterson has done a masterful job building this program. The Horned Frogs are getting to the point where they are on the radars of the big-time recruits, something that is never easy for a non-automatic qualifier program, and joining the Big East will make things even better with recruiting."

Utah: "With a move to the Pac-10 coming in 2011, Utah continued to battle BYU for the state's top recruits while increasing its profile in California. Of Utah's 18 verbals, 14 are from California. The Utes always have run a quarterback-driven offense and have 6-3 230-pounder Derrick Brown (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta) as their arm of the future."
