Ruechert would be a tough, tough loss. Chander, however, was never a BYU kid
so I see no justification in the present to make a villain outa Mark Pope.
Like I said — as good of a recruit Ruechert is, I kinda doubt Pope targets him in the future had he not already built huge inroads with him. And even then, he still has to worry about upsetting the recruiting inroads to the same class that his UK people have already made.
If KY & his staff can make solid inroads on Dean & his family (as I expect), I can see Pope pulling out of that recruiting fray more & more as the year goes on.
