Game Changer Walk-on

Top to bottom, BYU has more TALENT. But USU clearly has had some better ATHLETES

For example, 3 runningbacks drafted in a 2-year span (among other players): Robert Turbin, Michael Smith, Kerwynn Williams. Individually, they are definitely better athletes than anybody at BYU at the time. But important to note that being athletic does not necessarily equate to talent.

The majority of the athletes that have NFL bodies don't strike me as fans of the HC

No Honor Code = better athletes. It's really that simple. BYU is very limited

I think it has as much to do with grade issues.

You're crazy if you think the HC doesn't impact recruiting nfl talent

fattycoug

4/30/16 8:12am

The HC impacts the amount of athletes with reciprocating interest in BYU.

4/30/16 8:43am

You're right that it impacts non-NFL talent just the same. But it severely limit

fattycoug

4/30/16 8:55am

And what, Utah State and Southern Utah aren't severely impacted by the level of Athlete they can and can't recruit?

4/30/16 11:41am

With all due respect, BYU kills USU in recruiting. We get better athletes.

4/30/16 11:45pm

Academic standards at Stanford restrict recruiting more than HC & BYU academics.

I disagree with that. Yeah. It's a challenge but not more difficult, imo

You don't really believe that USU signs more talented recruiting classes than BY

So USU focuses on "developing" only 2-3 players per year? Seems to me that if

In one word: Development. BYU gets better players, but very much lacks in

Brothern, who amongst you should trade schedule, prestige, our team for theirs?

4/30/16 8:26am

Bronco was not the HC or recruiting

chirocoug

4/30/16 8:27am

So would you trade more losses to Utah State for more draft picks? I wouldn't.

Rephrase of question: Since BYU CLEARLY has better talent than USU, why less NFL

It doesn't make sense to you because you're confusing things.

Easy, Gary Anderson is a better coach than Bronco.

When it's over, even SUU will have more draftees than BYU

I don't know the answer, but if Bronco v Anderson was a major factor we should

If BYU has inferior coaching and/or NFL talent to USU, why is BYU

SierraCoug

Because BYU has more talent top-to-bottom than USU, much better depth. USU has

I think its more about Age. Just like the NBA & MLB, no one likes a 25 YO Rookie
