Rose has landed 6 top 100 recruits in 4 years in Emery, Mika, Haws, Dastrup, Baxter and Harding. Has football landed as many top 100 recruits during the same span? This stretch of recruiting is unprecedented at BYU. Admittedly, it is fueled by an unusual run of LDS talent. But, Rose is landing the lion share of those guys. When you add in an athletic big like Kaufusi who just dropped into Rose's lap, then there is reason to get excited.

Like you, I have been a little flummoxed at the lack of excitement on Cougarboard over Connor and Elijah. Instead, top posts include threads about the griping of other posters and untethered and unceasing speculation about conference affiliation.
