only about a third of his players went on missions as opposed to about 75% now. In addition, there weren't recruiting services, Nike camps, recruiting videos, etc. that allowed schools to find talented players as easily. Huge differences.

I'm definitely not an expert on the draft--I just assumed fewer rounds meant

It does mean that, but there are a few more teams in the NFL now.

256 picks in this years draft which means Detmer would have been a 7th round

Did you take out all of LaVell's players drafted after the 7th round ?

68% of the NFL is comprised of Black athletes. And what...1% Mormons, if that?

I don't hate bronco. That's completely false.

This is where the false dichotomy comes into play

How would Lavell's record and future recruiting have changed without Jimmy Mac?

I think Bronco should be doing better, but there are some noticeable trends.

Because there is some intelligence at BYU, and some of us are grateful.
