Jake basically said "we need to recruit athletes and then help them become BYU guys, not recruit BYU guys and hope they turn into athletes."

Sorry Jake, we tried that, and it was a complete and utter failure.

Jake Kursea killing BYU on 1320

Yep. Basically said no reason any kid should pick BYU over Utah

10/20/14 4:23pm

Then I wonder why BYU took local recruits from Utah 7:1 last year

kccougar

10/20/14 4:25pm

He was talking about going forward

kansascougar

BYU's 3 commits in the past couple weeks all had Utah offers.

kccougar

I'm not saying I agree with him.

Sitake is yewt loving it!

Yep but of course, Ben & Gunther are all over the Utah comments

I'm glad they did, but those kids made the wrong decision.

Bull. You're becoming part of the problem here.

Truth hurts. If you are a stud HS player with NFL aspirations, where do you go?

The Lone Wolf

10/20/14 4:53pm

It doesn't make you the bad guy. It makes you the incorrect guy. And

"Enemies to the program" are the fans that continue to accept mediocrity.

The Lone Wolf

10/20/14 5:03pm

You and I see mediocrity differently. I suspect (edited to add the word "not")

In addition to unnecessary ill will, arguing that

I would encourage my kids to play at Utah right now.

You need to turn in your fan card and shut her down for a bit.

Bostonblue

10/20/14 5:33pm

There aren't many good reasons to be a fan these days. Probably a good idea.

The Lone Wolf

10/20/14 5:38pm

Is there anyone out there that is excited or egar to be coached by Howell?

Smoke Monster

10/20/14 4:32pm

Well, except for the whole "which of these schools is better at school" issue

Bostonblue

He is right though.

GOBIGBLUE

10/20/14 4:55pm

His philosophy is dead wrong.

Bostonblue

10/20/14 5:03pm

Signed Jim McMahon...

Yunit

10/20/14 8:15pm

Do you honestly think McMahon would have lasted at BYU

Bostonblue

10/20/14 8:36pm

Not sure. We haven't had a QB as good as Jimmy Mac in today's world.

Yunit

10/20/14 8:58pm

You my friend are living in an alternate reality. People would be sending

Bostonblue

10/20/14 9:03pm

Maybe, but I do wish we had the same caliber of talent now

Yunit

10/20/14 9:05pm

I hear ya, but I will say that Taysom had/has the talent to be an all-time

Bostonblue

10/20/14 9:16pm

I definitely agree with you here. He is Tim Tebow with speed.

Yunit

10/20/14 9:53pm

My other point is that really really good players like Jimmy Mac

Yunit

10/20/14 9:06pm

Unga, our all-time leading rusher was suspended for the year. Brandon Davies

Bostonblue

10/20/14 9:13pm

Yeah but those are bad examples. Kind of hard to hide the pregnant belly

Yunit

10/20/14 9:45pm

And as good as Harvey was he wasn't a Jimmy Mac. Jimmy Mac was one of the

Yunit

Or Lavell's earlier years.

Blue Cat

10/20/14 5:07pm

The honor code issues during LaVell's early years were not as

gwalker

That's not why the Crowton years were the Crowton years.

The Lone Wolf

10/20/14 5:08pm

I meant Jake's approach would lead to a return to the scandal ridden
