other reasons. Offensive and defensive line is stunted less by a mission than most skill positions. We used to turn out a ton of great offensive line talent, then that suddenly stopped. I believe coaching was a HUGE reason for that and now that 2J and Anae are back it should get better again.
Even using that scenario, you see us lose a guy like Kearsley because of academic/honor code/BYU's culture and wonder if it will ever be the same as it was in Lavell's years.
To be honest, Gary Crowton's reign caused a great deal of this. The BOT and BYU vowed that what happened while he was here will never happen again.
