Koroma was a home run, but who else has he recruited from the HS level that has turned out? 6 of the 8 in the 2 deep aren't his guys.

Wow. No wonder our offensive line struggles. No one else wants them.

That's been the problem for years

It is THE single biggest reason for struggles vs Utah, &other P5 programs.oline

Wouldn't the prospect of a mission cause other teams not to

SUAVO

I think all of them wanted BYU as their 1st priority

11/25/15 5:23pm

Agreed

SUAVO

It's not just the offensive line. 11 of 22 in current 2 deep had no other offers

luckily with how young are returning unit is, we only need 1 or 2 to pan out.

In the short-term, that's true

My guess is that 2 of those guys last less than 2 years or so in the program.

My predictions are

I think your predictions are pretty accurate

11/25/15 5:34pm

I would more or less agree with all, but one.

bluescholar

11/25/15 5:40pm

Feel free to be specific about the disagreement

Sorry, just saw this...Hicks.

bluescholar

12/1/15 5:40pm

we've been carrying a lot of dead weight at that position for years. Weber

Bostonblue

11/25/15 5:15pm

Some of these freshmen are Weber handpicked players

donnerstag

11/25/15 5:26pm

agreed. My point is that 2J is hitting on a very high % of his recruits.

Bostonblue

11/25/15 5:31pm

BTW - Shoaf, Pulsipher, and Hicks were Weber's guys

donnerstag

11/25/15 5:34pm

Were you optimistic about Koroma? Last I checked his offer list was not

Bostonblue

11/25/15 5:37pm

I think everybody loved Koroma's film including me

donnerstag

11/25/15 5:40pm

Right. My point is that I think 2J has earned the benefit of the doubt. If

2J doesn't have the track record yet to get the benefit of the doubt

Koroma was a starter from day one. Nwigwe and Jimenez have been getting some

Bostonblue

That is not a good summary. Bronco's weakness shining through....

Probably about the same as a list of Offers for Koroma, Lapuaho, Kanuch,Wilcox

ayfan

11/25/15 5:45pm

you need to take Kanuch out of that group

11/25/15 5:49pm

Wilcox had offers from Oregon State and Iowa State

I am confident in Tujague as the oline coach. I'm sure he will encourage them

mtnKat

11/25/15 5:54pm

give them a short time frame....

icecougar

Why are you so confident about Tujague?

Gerald-DeGroot

Which of these 5 should I be most excited about. Seems I remember Chambers more

cougaman

11/25/15 6:12pm

typical OL recruiting in the Mendenhall era.

icecougar

11/25/15 6:52pm

I think that this is a valid critisicm. It was an absolute dumpster fire when

mtnKat

Like I have said a million times, Bronco is not a great recruiter. One of his
