Did anyone really believe Kearsley was going to make it 4 years at BYU?

Yes, despite Gustin's family running around to every messageboard and radio

His dad came on CB and played dumb.

true, but why is BYU harsher than a mission?

He's not claiming to know anything about Gustin at all.

And he is 100% accurate in his statment.

If he actually goes on a mission. This whole thing will be revisited after.

Very good point. The onus would be on the kid to "do the work" as stipulated
