If too many people take your attitude it tempts coaches

to say a recruit doesn't fit BYU's culture and then we all end up speculating about the kid's church worthiness. If it is something like that, I prefer the coaches say it was a scholarship crunch and leave it at that.

Do you really think the coaches were oblivious and passed on a phenomenal talent from Utah County for no reason?

I guess I'll say that while the coaches are regaining my trust slowly, that I'm

It's not exactly secret info, many of us know why, but it would not be...

4/18/14 11:29am

I trust the coaches on this...totally

4/17/14 10:39pm

And I guess that's my point... that I'm not ready to say that just yet.

In response to your final question... maybe. I'm not convinced they didn't.

4/17/14 10:59pm

Bottom line here is that there is a lot more to this story than you know.

If there's any place Bronco has earned trust and respect it's...LB Talent.

There is a way around the "fact" that the coaching staff messed up this one.

Sometimes, it just comes down to politics and who you know.

So what your saying is if a recruit has X number of offers they should

I'd say if a kid is planning on serving a mission, he is a program fit.

This is not about a scholarship crunch, there is a lot more to this story than..

Let's take a look at the whole picture for once

It isn't like Gustin was under the radar and they didn't know about him

Really uncle Gustin.

Methinks you don't know enough about the situation to make this judgment.

You're clearly just a mindless Bronco hater and can't possibly

Some of us just think that it's probably pretty reasonable...

This is what I think too.

If the two of you above don't understand the opposing view

Michael Skarn

A legitimate question that will never be answered...

Nothing to do with Bronco hating.
