That's like my son who graduated HS in Utah with a 3.99, AP credits from5 tests, Eagle Scout, 2 sport athlete lettering 4 straight years in both sports with a 33 ACT score and LDS Seminary. Wasn't "good" enough for BYU. Went to USU on scholarship, served an LDS mission, completed another year at USU on Dean's List and was contacted by BYU. They wanted him. He was now "good" enough. Lol.

He graduated with degrees in Econ and Chemistry and is now a successful Doctor...

He still laughs at BYU thinking he was going to go there when they had rejected him initially.

I hear stories like his all the time and then hear of the 3.2 gpa kid from Tennessee with a 26 ACT who "somehow" got it: a miracle. Lol. Nope, just a quota.

If you had told me that Isaac, an outstanding young man, African American, LDS, with a supportive family that jonesed for BYU was released from his NLI by BYU not for academics or issues with the law or problems with the HC, but because of "style" of play BYU was going to run....I would have called you crazy. Interesting developments. Go Cougs!
