What about when Olson didn't come back from his mission?

It seems to me that John Beck and Max Hall did OK from 2005-08 when Olsen played at UCLA. There were also 2 highly recruited qbs on the roster when Heaps didn't pan out that the coaches didn't try to develop. They instead went to the Riley Nelson show.

Big difference is oline.

But we were in such a good position at OL that the coach felt it was fine to

At least be fair and include Max Hall, Harvy Unga, Matt & Houston Reynolds,

Pitta was a preferred walk on; I gave Bronco credit for Falslev

In other words you will use whatever criteria you want to support your argument.

12/30/13 1:10pm

Preferred walk-on just means he didn't believe in him enough to give him a

12/30/13 1:11pm

Crowton still recruited him, just like Bronco recruited Falslev and Rich

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:20pm

Yes, and Bronco still recruited the Reynolds brothers, Famika Anae, Hall, & Hill

showmecoug

12/30/13 1:25pm

Hall and Hill were transfers who self-recruited to BYU

I don't know that I'd call running backs a wash

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 12:55pm

Hine has done next to nothing at running back

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:13pm

And Brathwaite had one long run and got kicked out.

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 1:17pm

Was it an 800 yard run?

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:19pm

No, but it was about 98 - so about 1/8 of his total yards in one run.

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 1:49pm

Crowton made the mistake of not emphasizing the HC enough to his

That, and trying to force BYU personnel into an unproven & unrealistic mold.

Difference in recruiting or development of players?

Pasadena

12/30/13 12:34pm

Both, agree on both.

You have a very large number of good players missing from your list . . .

viper

12/30/13 12:45pm

Which players would that be?

donnerstag

12/30/13 12:46pm

Van Noy, for one

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 12:52pm

Got it. You just listed offensive recruits

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 12:54pm

I may start another thread comparing the defenses

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:17pm

First of all, this was just an offensive overview

donnerstag

12/30/13 12:58pm

Even just at QB, aren't you missing Hall, Hill, Mangum?

viper

12/30/13 1:00pm

Hall and Hill don't qualify; Mangum hasn't played yet

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:01pm

Why don't they qualify?

viper

12/30/13 1:03pm

Then remove Pitta. And I don't know that you can count Harline for Crowton

SoCalCoug

12/30/13 1:04pm

This whole thread is about who is a better recruiter

donnerstag

12/30/13 1:14pm

A great number of Bronco's recruits...

BaYoU

Of Bronco's fourth class, I believe 7 will play next year.

SoCalCoug

Bronco peaked in years 2-5

Coincidentally, years 6-9 was when the No. 1 recruit in the nation didn't

Neither did most of the top 20 qbs of that class

Sorry but it is a lot more difficult for BYU to recover from a top recruit not

Good point. I would argue that in a sense we were bailed out by Max Hall.

It was a blessing in disguise

At the end of the day
