First off, Chandler is post-mission, and how many of those guys just flamed out? I'm not convinced Chandler would get a 4-star rating at the moment. Also, this presupposes that any new coach would have no pipeline of his own, and that's a silly presumption. Of course he will. That will be one of the biggest things that gets him the job.
And I still don't see where those other guys are going to go. They can't follow Pope, that's for sure. UK has 15 on scholarship right now and the WORST of those guys wouldn't have come to BYU if there were molten radioactive slag on the floor of every other arena in the NCAA.
I'm not worried. Maybe I should be. But 1) it wouldn't do any good and 2) right now we're borrowing trouble that hasn't come yet and 3) just YESTERDAY CB was melting down about how bad our recruiting is. I predict we'll be fine.
