After watching the draft, I'm even more convinced that Bronco needs to get some

newey-west

5/2/15 3:25pm

There is a problem getting guys to the NFL, but I have no idea where to point

Shimmy

5/2/15 3:29pm

Watching FCS players get drafted and so far not 1 BYU kid...

5/2/15 3:29pm

Seeing FCS kids get drafted isn't troubling at all.

kudzucoug

5/2/15 3:44pm

So, you think it's a recruiting issue?

newey-west

5/2/15 3:47pm

I think it is both a recruiting issue and a development issue.

kudzucoug

5/2/15 3:57pm

Both of those issues directly point to the coaching staff.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:00pm

I am not sure it is his fault

2FarGone

5/2/15 3:39pm

If you don't know where to place the blame, then a good bet is the person who

newey-west

5/2/15 3:42pm

I would be curious to see how many players other teams that have recruiting

kudzucoug

5/2/15 3:45pm

how does increased age from missions factor in?

SUAVO

5/2/15 3:47pm

Utah is a good comp

newey-west

5/2/15 3:47pm

Blame President Worthen. The players have no responsibility to get themselves

Bob Vance

5/2/15 3:50pm

So, you think that Bronco et al. just have a history of recruiting lazy and

newey-west

5/2/15 3:51pm

No, but the either/or dichotomy is wrong here and a waste of energy

Bob Vance

5/2/15 3:53pm

Why is the dichotomy wrong? After putting Ziggy into the NFL, Bronco changed his

newey-west

5/2/15 3:55pm

Because "lazy and unmotivated" is not the only other option to "don't develop

Bob Vance

5/2/15 4:14pm

Okay, so you think it's recruiting.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:16pm

Hey, look at that, another possibility jumps into the option matrix

Bob Vance

5/2/15 4:19pm

It's not either/or thinking.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:55pm

Bronco didnt put Ziggy in the NFL, Ziggy did with his freak athleticism.

5/2/15 6:31pm

Bronco taught him the basics and he recognized that Ziggy had potential.

newey-west

5/2/15 6:35pm

When did he recognize his potential? When he didn't play him until he had too?

5/2/15 8:23pm

Well, he let him on the team.

newey-west

5/2/15 8:25pm

He also lets on crappy players. That doesnt prove your point.

5/2/15 11:05pm

Best part about Ziggy is that it was an Elder who scouted him.

5/2/15 6:43pm

You think BYU should be putting out more? Whats your justification if so?

BYUfan92

5/2/15 5:43pm

Comparables with BYU?

newey-west

5/2/15 6:30pm

Utah isn't comparable I dont think - the "Honor Code" they have is a joke and

BYUfan92

5/2/15 10:03pm

Though its not everything, I think missions hold a lot of the blame

WhiteKnight

5/2/15 3:57pm

Sure, BYU has some institutional features that make things a little challenging.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:02pm

they do get some, but I'd rather have a 21 yr old

SUAVO

5/2/15 4:09pm

Agreed. Bronco did just make some changes to his redshirt policy.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:10pm

For context, Notre Dame had one player drafted. One.

5/2/15 3:55pm

How many ND players have been drafted in the last 5 years?

newey-west

5/2/15 3:57pm

The answer is 20.

newey-west

5/2/15 4:06pm

It's not about this year; it's a fairly well established theme.

Non-mo Coug

5/2/15 4:11pm

It has definitely been one of the more troubling aspects of his tenure.

eddog

5/2/15 4:02pm

Good call, has to be Omer's fault. No way Bronco has anything to

Zach Morris

5/2/15 4:43pm

Or you could look at what the NFL wants and see if it matches up to what BYU has

BYUfan92

5/2/15 5:35pm

False. During the Crowton era BYU had the 2nd most players in the NFL

Zach Morris

5/2/15 5:53pm

Which of course is not true at all...

5/2/15 6:07pm

looking forward to your backpedaling soon as I link the quote.

From a 2009 artricle:

5/3/15 9:24am

Interesting.

What I originally brought up is true PP. Just own it...

Zach Morris

5/3/15 10:21am

So.....

5/3/15 10:26am

How is bringing it up several times in an effort to sell the program

Zach Morris

5/3/15 10:53am

First - prove "several times"

5/3/15 11:04am

I really don't care anymore and according to Bronco's record with draftee's

Zach Morris

5/3/15 11:13am

You are making things up again

5/3/15 11:19am

Here's a cached version of the link...

Zach Morris

5/2/15 6:20pm

First off - thanks for a link. That is almost unprecedented for you.

5/2/15 6:50pm

mpfunk's dupe account?

5/2/15 7:07pm

Are you talking about me or Zack?

5/2/15 7:37pm

So for the laughy faces and thumbs down - point out where I am wrong.

5/2/15 7:43pm

So I guess I can safely assume that the idea that Zach

5/2/15 9:34pm

Nobody more offended by smiley's and thumbs down. Knife to the chest!

Gets a few guys in? KVN, Ziggy, Sorenson? Pitta? Hadley? Fangupo?

And a link

5/2/15 6:53pm

Oh, so you think it's a recruiting issue?

newey-west

5/2/15 6:32pm

This is true bm and th came to socal

Blue Cougar

5/2/15 7:37pm

Apparently not.

5/2/15 7:46pm

Why?

5/2/15 6:09pm

You don't think that the ability to recruit talent helps you win games?

newey-west

5/2/15 6:28pm

There has been no fall off in the recruiting of tallent.

5/2/15 7:04pm

Seriously? 2 in 5 years when BYU's recruiting rankings are identical to

newey-west

5/2/15 7:22pm

2 years? That is not a really meaningfull statistic

5/2/15 7:42pm

2 players picked in 5 years. It's meaningful.

newey-west

5/2/15 7:45pm

Well, it may be a sales pitch

5/2/15 7:52pm

It's not just a one year thing.

newey-west

5/2/15 7:58pm

I actually won't have anything to do wtih BYU having a good season

5/2/15 9:31pm

You don't think that players playing better equates to more wins?

newey-west

5/2/15 9:39pm

No. I think the NFL sees talent whether the team is good or bad.

5/2/15 9:48pm

I didn't say that NFL scouts look to see how good a team is and then pick

newey-west

5/2/15 9:56pm

You just don't get it do you

checoug

5/3/15 1:57am

I get it. But you are putting the cart before the horse.

5/3/15 10:06am

Hit for the cycle.

newey-west

5/2/15 6:36pm

I love it when that happens.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

5/2/15 9:02pm

Imo it's a recruiting problem

eyebleedblu

5/2/15 8:21pm

What if I told you that BYU's recruiting is on par with

newey-west

5/2/15 8:26pm

And it's not the level of the recruits so much as the type of recruits

Mantis Mutu

5/4/15 5:19am

I agree 100%. You definitely can't coach

eyebleedblu

5/4/15 4:55pm

Who knows.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

5/2/15 9:01pm

Do you think that this will impact Freeze's ability to recruit?

newey-west

5/2/15 9:08pm

I'll admit it... It was a misleading stat.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

5/2/15 9:20pm

Nutt and Bronco are very similar.

newey-west

5/2/15 9:24pm

I don't care at all how many BYU players are drafted. Wins is all that matters.

bluefish

5/2/15 11:35pm

Remember when BYU was placing players in the NFL few were serving missions

At ANY point do you give Bronco credit for winning consistently and playing toug

How about coaching development. It's worse.
