I love that BYU is signing these athletic Poly players.

Exactly. Recruit athletes and coach them up. Worked with Ziggy.

BYU Football does lots of thing poorly, but "coaching 'em up" tops the list.

WhyKnot

really? I beg to differ. BYU will never land top recruiting classes or superior

You could put together a similar list for every team in the country

Saying something incessantly doesn't make it true. Go ahead and provide proof.

Honest question: what do you make of this analysis?

Lol. You should read what you just wrote, then apply it to yourself.

StantonMac

Injury or ineligibility derailed half those guys

Or the fact that Adam Hine is still in school.

looks about par for the course, especially when you consider transfers, injuries

That is a dozen and a half. Over 10 years. That's very few

It doesn't take an analytical mind to see that BYU sends far fewer players to

BYU consistently does better on the field than their recruiting rankings predict

This analysis shows that BYU is good at "coaching them up"

Byu didn't recruit ziggy. But I get what you're saying.

BYU football didnt recruit him. But he was on academic scholarship from day one

WRONG. he came to byu from ghana just for academics. byu football in no way

the entire thing was chronicled on ESPN. he wanted to play basketball but no

SolidBlue

I wouldn't say academic scholarship means they recruited him.

irrelevant...this thread is about the coaches inability to "coach up" players

I'm intrigued and entertained by the signings but don't love it, yet

At least 30% of the scholarships we give are a comparable gamble

Only maybe two of the guys you listed qualify as white bread

Two? Please explain to me your definition of white bread then.
