We are a school that is 99% white with players who typically have a lot more

goals in life than to just play NFL football. I don't expect us to pump out NFL draft picks.

I expect us to recruit the best talent we can get and field competitive teams in the NCAA. Every once in a while we will have a Ziggy or KVN type talent that gets drafted and has a real shot of having a long and successful career.

I hate to be that guy that's says we aren't good enough but let's not kid ourselves, nothing about BYU makes it an NFL factory.

The NFL draft doesn't matter for college football success

They are a bunch of Slow White Mormons...Hats off to Bronco

Yeah, look at your local ward's YM/primary kids and tell me how many have

Ulysses14

12/18/14 2:47pm

Wow that is amazing. He really got somebody in the NFL? Considering football

capo

12/20/14 1:46pm

I don't care about the draft as long as BYU wins on the field

Mathlete

12/18/14 9:11am

do us a favor, this topic is tired

Snorky

12/18/14 9:11am

Can't you say that about 98% of CB?

checoug

12/18/14 9:12am

Not really.

Zach

12/18/14 9:13am

Yeah because that pro/anti Bronco argument

checoug

12/18/14 9:24am

Ok.

Zach

12/18/14 9:29am

nice. Thumbs up

12/18/14 11:40am

It's a symptom of what is wrong with the program

AxelDC

12/18/14 11:57am

It's a big problem. HS stars think they going to be NFL players one day.

Blueto

12/18/14 9:15am

Wow, serious? such little amount of NFL talent, and he has top 25 teams

capo

12/18/14 9:16am

Top 25 teams every year?

checoug

12/18/14 9:17am

when was his last top 25? You must be trolling.

bulletproof

12/18/14 9:17am

I thought that was one of his claims to fame.Hasn't he had a few

capo

12/18/14 9:24am

i think that there were top 25's but it happened in his early

bulletproof

12/18/14 10:13am

You mean like 2011?

12/18/14 12:19pm

I dont see them ranked in 2011 but I might be looking at a different

bulletproof

12/18/14 1:20pm

They were top 25 in the coaches poll

12/18/14 1:27pm

Another thing - If BYU soundly beats Memphis

12/18/14 1:31pm

You cant throw in 'if's'. If Bronco was Urban Meyer

bulletproof

12/18/14 1:44pm

Of course you can throw in "ifs"

12/18/14 2:05pm

A few months ago . . .

viper

12/18/14 11:04am

Lol, I guess I dont regard the beginning of the year as highly as you.

bulletproof

12/18/14 1:16pm

All teams follow two types of trends in the rankings

12/18/14 1:40pm

Ok, great 1/3 of the season! We should have stopped.

bulletproof

12/18/14 1:46pm

5, 10 years from now no one will care about the record of the first 4 games

checoug

12/18/14 1:48pm

Then why did all the media outlets in the country

12/18/14 2:07pm

I wish we could have.

viper

12/18/14 9:34am

he has de-emphasized the NFL and has recruited a bunch of missionaries.

12/18/14 9:17am

how sad is it that we've fallen below USU as a program...

kotacoug

12/18/14 9:24am

Did you not know the average nfl career is 3 years? and in 10 years most

capo

12/18/14 9:26am

yeah i wonder if bronco advised ziggy to go into accounting

12/18/14 9:30am

I am not joking at all, I think Ziggy would be good at the office, I

capo

12/18/14 3:39pm

LOL - Haven't seen that in years.

12/18/14 3:57pm

We are a school that is 99% white with players who typically have a lot more

boorad

12/18/14 9:20am

Lavell had lots of draftees, Crowton has had way more than Bronco

checoug

12/18/14 9:23am

LaVell also had half of the players go on missions that Bronco does and

ManicBlue

12/18/14 9:49am

This. They have different focuses

boorad

12/18/14 10:06am

Except that BYU used to so there goes your excuse.

southernfriedcougar

1/14/15 12:15pm

I love the mental gymnastics involved to slight Bronco.

mulletino

12/18/14 9:24am

Ziggy fell into Bronco's lap

checoug

12/18/14 9:27am

And if Leslie gets drafted, we can discount him too since Bronco did not

viper

12/18/14 9:37am

First of all, Leslie is not getting drafted

checoug

12/18/14 9:39am

even when you add those guys... only one guy is playing significant minutes

kotacoug

12/18/14 9:27am

I'm not arguing that. My argument is that the lengths he went to

mulletino

12/18/14 9:30am

He doesn't get credit for turning Ziggy into a top draft pick

boorad

12/18/14 10:07am

It is a huge problem.

idacoug

12/18/14 9:24am

Several reasons.

you have a point, but outright lying in your post doesn't help your cause

RE: you have a point, but outright lying in your post doesn't help your cause

checoug

12/18/14 9:28am

that's my point, your post title says one, then the body admits a 2nd, and Ziggy

byujag

12/18/14 9:31am

I think you are incorrect. Recruiting means you seek someone out and bring them

ArcticKat

12/18/14 9:55am

Did Bronco recruit KVN?

mulletino

12/18/14 9:31am

That was the recruit I was counting

checoug

12/18/14 9:34am

its not a lie. bronco has one recruit that is in the NFL. that's true.

12/18/14 9:32am

Unga was in his first signing class

Blue Cat

12/18/14 9:34am

my mistake. but he didn't stick.

12/18/14 9:34am

true, but still took a draft spot

byujag

12/18/14 9:38am

didn't Unga enroll in 2006? that's after Bronco became head coach

byujag

12/18/14 9:37am

Cause 2 is a significantly more impressive number than 1.

12/18/14 9:39am

no. identifying a kid in hs, recruiting him to your school, and putting him in

12/18/14 9:40am

he was part of the 2005 recruiting class but grey shirted a year...

This dead horse is tired of being kicked.

bald man

12/18/14 9:39am

All of BYU football threads are repetitive

checoug

12/18/14 9:41am

Really? I can't imagine why.

bald man

Anything that's dead can't be tired of anything

I'm not even sure why I'm defending Bronco in this thread

12/18/14 9:40am

Whether you are a Bronco-homer or critical of him, player development is a major

CougDogg-e-Dogg

12/18/14 12:03pm

It is?

12/18/14 12:28pm

Your timeline is wrong. It's 2 in 6 or 7 years, not 9.

ChurroNieves

It's interesting reading the criticisms of Bronco.

First - BYU does not expect a non LDS kid to abstain from beer

12/18/14 1:36pm

Ehhhh...the honor code requires one to abstain from alcoholic beverages.

Josef K

12/18/14 2:21pm

Well, I guess it would be more realistic to say

12/18/14 3:32pm

is that you Bean Mace?

icecougar

12/18/14 2:00pm

They didn't have the Honor Code under Edwards?

AxelDC

12/18/14 2:57pm

After the early/mid '80s Edwards was about as successful as Bronco has been
