I love that BYU is signing these athletic Poly players.
Every year we fans are whining that byu players are not getting drafted. From my uneducated perspective it appears that pro teams look at athleticism as a major factor of deciding on drafting a player. You can't coach size and speed. I think it is great we are getting guys that have NFL size.

Second, every year Gary Patterson takes athletes and makes football players out of them. BYU needs to do the same. BYU has already shown how rugby seems to cross over to football relatively well. I say go get all the athletes we can and coach them to play football.

Last, BYU needs to continue to strengthen its relationship with the Poly community. That was a huge error in my mind when bronco went away from poly coaches and players a few years back. BYU needs to be a top destination for all these lds (and hopefully non-lds) poly young men.

BYU will never be the top destination for most of the pro type athletic players so why wouldn't we want to go take a chance and recruit as many athletes as we can in the poly community that will come play for BYU?
