All of these guys were marginal recruits who became players at BYU. I could spend more than 15 seconds.

I agree 100% on player development but not because "we haven't developed anyone" its 75% recruiting players who the upside to to develop. Saying a guy like Zak Stout hasn't developed is crazy because he is physically topped out in high school. Find the 2 and 3 star guys who project to be 4 and 5 star when given the coaching and direction.

Four star players on the field last night for BYU

The system is perfect

Kaufusi seems injured. Rowley was three stars according to Rivals.

Basing it all on Scout.

10/19/14 11:48pm

Kaufusi is a great man and by all accounts is and will be an amazing husband and

Agreed. He should be on the OL.

Probably not over-hyped. Just playing out-of-position. His optimal position, OT.

Rowley was high-ranked as an OG, not a DL. Same with Kaufusi: as an OT, not DL.

Mantis Mutu

10/20/14 8:48am

An interesting point

Usually, I think he let's high-end recruits play where they want--as do a lot

Mantis Mutu

10/20/14 12:52pm

It's kind of frustrating

wilsdad

10/20/14 1:03pm

I'd love to see what a 320 lb Bronson could be as OT--or a 310 lb Rowley at OG.

Mantis Mutu

10/20/14 1:10pm

Also, wasn't Apo a four star recruit?

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/19/14 11:48pm

Not developed. And yes, part of that comes from the player.

10/19/14 11:49pm

All of it comes from the player. Quit absolving these guys of all responsibility

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/19/14 11:50pm

You're right. It's both. And yes, a lot of it is on the player.

10/19/14 11:52pm

You are confusing. You just argued that Ziggy is due to Bronco's coaching.

MtnMan

10/20/14 12:31am

What I meant to say is IF you're going to judge Bronco's ability to develop

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/20/14 12:48am

That's fine but Ziggy is not the best example. Name another one like Ziggy.

Don't recruit bad players?

CougarEatU

10/20/14 3:04am

So coaches don't matter at all? Oh, except the 1%. LOL

Singcat

10/20/14 7:55am

I gaurantee Saban would get more from these players than Bronco; not a 1% thing

BamaCoug

10/20/14 10:54am

So one consensus (rivals and scout) 4 star player with significant experience

Blue Cat

10/20/14 12:01am

Man you're really hung up on the star thing

jhingman

10/20/14 12:30am

So, I assume that you don't think we have the talent to beat Utah State?Overall?

CougarEatU

10/20/14 3:09am

Our defensive players now aren't good enough to beat Utah State, CFU, or Nevada

jhingman

10/20/14 9:17am

But when I watch the game, I don't see a bad scheme, or bad play calls

cougXor

10/20/14 1:27am

Yep! It's a joint failure...

10/20/14 6:50am

Kafusi, for the second game in a row, bit on the fake handoff, ran down the

PhilPete

10/20/14 9:50am

Yep, and we blame the coaches for things like this?

jhingman

10/20/14 10:02am

But were the ones who are stupid.

PhilPete

10/20/14 10:53am

How many stars did Texas have on the field?

CosmoK

10/20/14 7:18am

you wouldn't find one 3 star

Coaching matters...

10/20/14 12:56pm

Recruiting Stars Aren't Always Aligned

10/20/14 7:33am

Texas has 4 star players too...3 and 4 record

digitalayon

10/20/14 9:07am

And Texas fans correctly hold the coaching staff accountable.

JAGA97

10/20/14 10:40am

Yep, part of the 3 or 4 starting rotation that our D still has. Sad shape.

10/20/14 10:08am

Correct, the point is even with 2nd string (or in case of RB 5th string) BYU
