Great post, solid take, I think the problem is not who we go after . . .

. . . it's not landing the kids we DO go after that should be the slam dunk kids (LDS, legacy, Timpview, etc.) I am okay not targeting all of those kids because we have better options, but when we do target those kids and miss, that's a red flag to me.

BYU leads Utah H2H in the state where both offered.

I don't care about Utah. I am talking about owning our state in recruiting

You mean the state where BYU is no longer confined to the state?

We will see. Like I said I could care less about Covey. We just need to start

All is well, similar records to SDSU, Nevada, and Fresno State over same time

I would agree with you if those players were a significant upgrade over local

Tell you what. Pick the non-LDS, out of Utah kid on the team...

There's no trend.

There is no such thing as a slam dunk and it's pompous to think there should be.

BarraCouga

1/31/15 9:43am

Not pompous, it's math

Cougarcoisa

If they were truly convinced about Covey, they would have offered sooner.

You don't get it

I didn't say they did.

I would disagree with your post BYU

I agree more speed at Utah making a difference. Not much of it from Utah HS

Of course the larger receivers have more yards, look at first downs.

The issue is that BYU wanted him, he is LDS, and he picked Utah over BYU. When

I doubt he picked Utah because of NFL aspirations.

Utah has been getting the Covey-type of kids all along. I don't think it means

I doubt a smurf like Covey is NFL material, whether he attends BYU or Utah

Coogar2

I think he's a similiar talent to that of Reno Mahe. He won't touch the ball 15
