We need to get better recruiting the LDS recruits that don't have mission plans.

I think Bronco does a pretty good job of recruiting players that are mission bound, but generally speaking our best players past and present did not serve missions. We seem to struggle landing those guys.

LDS football recruits are getting better.

That's the fact that most CBers downplay when comparing Lavell to Bronco

If we could pull recruiting classes like 2014's every year

bvfcr

10/13/15 11:29am

Geoff Martzen said Bronco was the best in-home recruiter on staff

My perception is that other schools weren't as appealing as BYU was for LDS

No mention of the significant increase in competition for these recruits?

buhler08

What makes you conclude that there is more competition for LDS recruits?

donnerstag

10/13/15 12:01pm

Aside from common sense you mean?

buhler08

10/13/15 12:11pm

I agree that it's changed

donnerstag

10/13/15 12:14pm

LaVell could also pitch that they could play for the NC

TNT would say WRs and DBs recruiting is probably the best it has been

TNT

10/13/15 11:27am

You think they've been recruiting DBs better than LBs?

southernfriedcougar

10/13/15 11:41am

He is saying the DB recruits they get now are most likely better than ever

TNT

10/13/15 11:43am

We'd need a coach that works better with 5-Star recruits as well.

Walter Bellhaven

10/13/15 11:29am

Has Bronco ever coached a 5 star recruit?

Blue Cat

10/13/15 11:51am

Heaps

southernfriedcougar

10/13/15 11:55am

Ah yes, 5 stars on Scout. 4 stars every place else.

Blue Cat

Whatever you need to do to help your point!

Walter Bellhaven

10/13/15 12:22pm

Yeah huge difference. He was the freakin #1 rated QB on 2 of 3 services.

southernfriedcougar

10/13/15 12:32pm

Heaps wasn't the first 5* bust...

deckard667

10/13/15 2:01pm

This isn't a comparison discussion. He's simply asking

southernfriedcougar

10/13/15 2:08pm

I do think there was more to this and that some insinuation that Bronco does not

deckard667

10/13/15 2:42pm

Not sure. He's had opportunities to recruit them but seems to have slipped up a

I doubt we get these types with any consistency until we go P5

We need to get better recruiting the LDS recruits that don't have mission plans.

You don't need P5 Conference affiliation. You need to prove you can develop

Ruby Soho

10/13/15 12:02pm

Study shows P5 affiliation matters, NFL placement doesn't.

ChinoCoug

10/13/15 12:11pm

Is it any coincidence that the best CFB programs happen to be P5's that develop

Ruby Soho

10/13/15 12:34pm

This comment made me smile... Do you really believe this?

shakinbaker

10/13/15 1:13pm

Absolutely, 100%.

Ruby Soho

10/13/15 1:20pm

Developing talent and producing NFL players are two completely different things.

shakinbaker

10/14/15 5:45am

Don't forget the other half of the team which is largely Polynesian.

Ruby Soho

You fail to understand that "developing talent" and "producing NFL players" are

shakinbaker

10/14/15 10:01am

All HC's develop players like Bronco, he isn't doing anything unique with the

Ruby Soho

Do you think Bronco is a terrific recruiter?

Blue Cat

10/13/15 2:12pm

No, average recruiter, below average talent developer.

Ruby Soho

10/13/15 2:15pm

To me, that doesn't add up.

Blue Cat

10/13/15 2:23pm

70% winning percentage over the past 10 years.

Ruby Soho

10/13/15 2:32pm

Bronco's best seasons were using Crowton recruits

donnerstag

10/13/15 2:40pm

Yes. Bronco did a great job of developing Crowton's recruits.

Blue Cat

10/13/15 2:46pm

So your contention is that Bronco forgot how to develop his own recruits

donnerstag

10/13/15 3:16pm

Like I said before

Blue Cat

10/13/15 4:57pm

Since 2006, Bronco is 28-21 vs. teams that have equal or better talent.

Blue Cat

10/13/15 2:42pm

28-21? You don't say?

I posted most of the data earlier in the thread.

As there get to be more and more Mormons, this will only happen more

Harrison0Yfan

Only problem is the Mormon Church isn't growing anymore. Static at best at this

Singcat

Mormons ARE growing, just not in the US. We should mine Ghana, Nigeria, Sudan,

ChinoCoug

The church could grow exponentially in Africa

Hmmm..... I think you could be wrong

Not true...In the Year 2000 According to the SL Trib the LDS pop in the US

deckard667

The church will always grow in the U.S. due to breeding

donnerstag

10/13/15 3:56pm

Agreed, converts likely static with people going inactive, but overall increase

Harrison0Yfan

Really? Pretty sure it's growing based on the statistics
