Did anyone specifically come to BYU saying that they were looking forward to Howell's coaching? I've seen recruits talk about Bronco's defense... but not a sniff about Howell... I could be wrong and thus I'm asking the question if anyone has ever mentioned anything about coming to BYU because of Howell.
And while they won't get it from Bronco... Tom Holmoe owes every last one of these players an apology for choosing BYU to be coached under Bronco and then are switched to Howell. If I were a player right now, I'd be fairly pissed about it.
