His mandate was to clean things up and he did. The problem is the program will suffer without taking some recruiting risks.
Bronco detractors love overlooking this very important fact.

If BYU can't get to the next level, it's because of your religious beliefs,

I agree for the most part. I think the religion, marriage, dating, family, etc

NFL teams would love churchy/family guys but not when they're already 24.

Yes, when they are being drafted, but as far as the development during

I think early missions will hurt the football program

could be. will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I disagree. Most freshman do not play anyway. They need time to get up to speed

These are my thoughts too.

Bronco's quotes on the subject

It would be interesting to see how many play a semester and leave

boogers

What he says makes sense only if the players left in January or February

Great plan...for future NFLers. The other 99% are better to leave immediately.

BYU has been an elite program, despite the religious constraints

30 years ago they were approaching elite. Different era. Also see links

boogers

I would call a threat to the top 20 almost every year elite.

If that is your definition, then BYU is still elite.

boogers

The last 5 seasons spell out mediocrity

donnerstag

5/6/15 11:34am

nah. they were a "threat" in 2-3 of those years to be top 20

boogers

5/6/15 11:35am

No. 8-5 doesn't give you a sniff at top 20 status

donnerstag

5/6/15 11:49am

So elite is "in top 20" or "threat to be in top 20" every year?

I'm looking at what Bronco has done in the last 5 years

Percentage Top-25 finishes for Bronco v. Lavell?

PGVikingDad

Bronco had all his top 25 finishes with Crowton recruits

Bronco did loosen up recruiting in 2010

donnerstag

5/6/15 2:30pm

It's not as loose as it is now

shakarocks

Look at the 2010 recruiting class

You obviously didn't look at the list

BYU was vetting players at a very high level

shakarocks

its not the beliefs. its the enforcement and practice.

Ft Worth Cougar

5/6/15 11:25am

agree.

boogers

5/6/15 11:26am

If enforcement is the same as accountability...then I applaud BYU...but
