The CB locals are starting to get restless about BYU football's recruiting...

Bostonblue

Bottom line, the higher the stars the higher success rate in both college and

JOPE

6/29/16 2:08pm

BYU has been landing a few 4 star recruits most years. The problem is that

Bostonblue

6/29/16 2:13pm

Couldn't disagree more

6/29/16 2:20pm

I agree with you

I'mBatman

and USC. Screw USC.

Gerald-DeGroot

Seems like the kids that go to USC however

problem is you're losing these kids to Stanford, USC, ND. Even if BYU

Bostonblue

6/29/16 4:21pm

If most of the LDS kids came to BYU, it would be perrenial top 20 too

6/29/16 4:35pm

what you're advocating for is not likely IMO. Think of it this way,

Bostonblue

6/29/16 5:26pm

to be blunt, that is loser mentality

6/29/16 5:39pm

recruiting has changed so much since the 80s when Lavell was doing it. And no

Bostonblue

6/29/16 5:46pm

How many two or three star players didn't pan out or never saw the field?

JOPE

6/29/16 2:24pm

the point is we need more depth. You build that from the bottom and

Bostonblue

6/29/16 4:22pm

Not true. We need coaches tht are good evaluators & developers of talent, though

mantis mutu

6/29/16 3:51pm

100% agree. Not all 4\5* guys turn out and many 2* guys become AA/All Pro

BYUHgrad

6/29/16 6:04pm

You only have 25 so each one counts

I'mBatman

6/29/16 2:08pm

I'm pretty sure no one will care if they win 10 games consistently

TheWarden

6/29/16 2:11pm

10 wins with our future schedules would be historically impressive.

Bostonblue

6/29/16 2:15pm

Which ones are you nervous about? Which ones do you think will be good?

YIsForBrigham

6/29/16 2:16pm

Baker, Lewis, Hanneman, and willis. I think they all have potential to be good.

TheWarden

6/29/16 2:25pm

Lewis had some of the best Sparq numbers in the country IIRC

ayfan

6/29/16 2:50pm

Not saying they won't be good, just they're the type byu has always gotten

TheWarden

6/29/16 3:25pm

That's great but why don't they have other offers?

I'mBatman

6/29/16 4:02pm

Guys like Lewis and Hanneman are local kids who BYU has TONS of connections with

ayfan

6/29/16 4:10pm

I'm okay with those two

I'mBatman

6/29/16 4:21pm

Well so you know,

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 7:46pm

Would you rather BYU offer guys early that commit and then don't get other

cougaman

6/29/16 11:55pm

If you're really good programs will still offer no matter what.

TheWarden

6/30/16 8:26am

Yeah, and a lot of them end up leaving for the bigger programs. Coaches are

cougaman

6/30/16 9:00am

To be fair, the expectation was that there would be improved recruiting

6/29/16 2:14pm

I think focusing on the top end is the wrong way to view things.

Bostonblue

6/29/16 2:19pm

And yet KVN singlehandedly won the Poinsettia bowl against SDSU a few years back

stoils

6/29/16 2:22pm

If landing 3 4 stars is the top end, that is scary

JOPE

6/29/16 2:22pm

Why? Other programs do.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 2:29pm

No they don't

6/29/16 2:39pm

the classes ranked 25th in recruiting the last few years

JOPE

6/29/16 2:48pm

TCU doesn't do that every year FYI.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 3:02pm

Yes, but they are consistently in the top 30

JOPE

6/29/16 3:09pm

They're not consistently up there.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 3:21pm

TCU '15 42, '14 43, '13 36, '12 29, '11 29

Says the guy who hasn't shot anything down yet.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 4:50pm

Exactly what I thought. Can't read AND nothing to say.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 5:11pm

lol @ you putting the exact same 247 rankings in there

6/29/16 5:16pm

So what exactly are you laughing at as it relates to his comment?

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 5:31pm

Hmmm,

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 2:57pm

The amount of other offers is a good way to evaluate ut

I'mBatman

RE: The amount of other offers is a good way to evaluate ut

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 5:16pm

Exactly right.

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 2:25pm

USC will start 4 LDS players next year

6/29/16 2:27pm

Just because someone grew up LDS doesn't mean they have any intention

molodyets

6/29/16 3:13pm

Absolutely true. But these kids are also ground zero of where BYU can improve

cajuncoug

6/29/16 3:52pm

You know Masina isn't LDS, right?

mantis mutu

6/29/16 11:50pm

Quick Question

nitroboy

12/22/16 6:58pm

Exactly. More solid 3 star guys in the bottom half with great

TheWarden

6/29/16 2:27pm

Depth only matters...

CoachSpeak

6/29/16 5:14pm

Depth is huge on defense and special teams.

TheWarden

6/29/16 10:02pm

Almost the craziest thing I've heard on this thread.

southernfriedcougar

6/30/16 7:06am

What's "crazy" about it?

CoachSpeak

6/30/16 9:56am

Suggesting any form of a "depth ONLY matters when..."

southernfriedcougar

6/30/16 1:04pm

You've got a serious comprehension problem....

CoachSpeak

6/30/16 4:26pm

Nice load of garbage to start as it didn't relate to anything from my

southernfriedcougar

6/30/16 6:12pm

You just failed at compression, that's your fault...

CoachSpeak

RE: To be fair, the expectation was that there would be improved recruiting

southernfriedcougar

6/29/16 2:24pm

I really don't care what anyone is saying about recruiting at this point.

Blue Golfer

6/29/16 2:27pm

That's too much common sense and level-headednes for CB

Sacto Cougar

6/29/16 2:43pm

How is that different than past years?

gmj81

6/29/16 2:36pm

This post is dead on. Especially about the part about BYU's lack of offering

Bostonblue

6/29/16 4:37pm

The staff is in a hard spot right now with recruiting.

For those saying we need 4/5 star athletes...

Jasenblain

6/29/16 3:43pm

Like I've said before, this coaching staff has Harbaugh-like expectations.

OPINIONS

6/29/16 4:21pm

A new coaching staff isn't enough. Players will want to see how BYU football

oldrugger

6/29/16 4:33pm

Players will want to see results first. Sitake has no track record.

oldrugger

6/29/16 4:35pm

Haven't we been told our expectations are too high like a million times?

Harrison0Yfan

6/29/16 4:45pm

If you were projected as a 4 or 5 star recruit

Rigormortise

6/29/16 7:27pm

Stars Matter.

Gerald-DeGroot

6/29/16 8:01pm

I thought Sitake was suppose to be this great recruiter.

coolblue

6/29/16 8:39pm

Chaulk it up to ignorance. They likely don't realize kids sign after their Jr yr

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

6/30/16 12:45am

Agreed. Lamb put more of these players in the draft last year than Kyle put 4-5
