we would normally not be able to sign without P5 affiliation. Like you stated, you add 4-6 players per year that have more talent and ability than normal, it makes a huge difference.

I use to think that PAC10 wouldn't improve UU recruiting, I was in denial.

It makes a huge impact. U were def in denial.

Gerald-DeGroot

7/26/16 2:58pm

Tell us more about their QB recruiting, and which position

Bob Vance

7/26/16 3:01pm

Whoa. Ur still in denial?

Gerald-DeGroot

7/26/16 3:05pm

Just waiting for a serious answer. I'm willing to concede that

Bob Vance

7/26/16 3:08pm

IMO it helps everywhere. In everyway. Probably the biggest is the good LDS

Gerald-DeGroot

7/26/16 3:13pm

Please kindly provide a single detail on the positions I mentioned

Bob Vance

7/26/16 3:17pm

And...[crickets]...

Wilson was a Elite 11 QB. He didn't end up being very good but they still might

Gerald-DeGroot

7/27/16 7:10pm

Special teams for sure. Look at Utah's special teams top to bottom. Incredibly

This is why i said "overall". Specific positions like QB aren't as applicable

byu1

7/26/16 3:16pm

Right, and they already recruited very highly at CB and DL. So,

Bob Vance

7/26/16 3:19pm

Because "2 or 3 flips a year" is a long way from top to bottom

Cyclogist

7/26/16 5:02pm

With a heavy punch of Polys on the DL

7/26/16 7:26pm

Did we suddenly get rid of the honor code? That's BYU's biggest hurdle.

SpiffCoug

7/26/16 2:58pm

Our last coach also had a lackluster recruiting system

kotacoug

7/26/16 3:00pm

Our current roster begs to differ

gmj81

7/26/16 3:08pm

Insulting our previous coach's recruiting = insulting our current team

Machiavelli

When one of the biggest recruits in Utah tweets about the possibilty of BYU

BYUheaven

7/26/16 3:02pm

A hurdle that may change but will never go away.

JAGA97

7/26/16 3:17pm

The honor code...

Lolo

7/26/16 3:23pm

I assume that Stanford would be the winning bidder in this case

Cyclogist

7/26/16 5:04pm

Hopefully BYU will be P5 and it will be a nonissue.

Lolo

7/26/16 5:15pm

Its a hurdle thats it. P5 inclusion is huge for recruiting.

GoatyGoat

7/26/16 4:12pm

I believe BYU would see the smallest overall improvement in recruiting if we were P5

SouthernBlueBlood

7/26/16 3:00pm

Totally disagree. BYU loses plenty of top tier LDS kids over lack of P5 inclusion.

Turnpike Lane

7/26/16 3:03pm

The LDS talent pool is now deep enough that P5 inclusion would matter for us

jkccoug

7/26/16 4:42pm

BYU's 1st string can run with most P5 programs, but

AzCoug1

7/26/16 5:15pm

I disagree. BYU loses 3 to 5 LDS blue chippers every year to P5 schools.

BearsandBulls

7/26/16 6:03pm

I'm happy to be wrong here for sure

SouthernBlueBlood

7/26/16 6:07pm

true, if we were to get just one more of these every year, we'd see improvement

Hill4Heisman

7/26/16 7:02pm

It has

TNT

7/26/16 3:01pm

I totally agree. Without p5 inclusion to hold over us,

WhenWhereAndY

7/26/16 3:01pm

I agree to some extent. But they do have a great NFL track record

CocaColaRecovery

7/26/16 3:07pm

The "NFL track record" is now our head coach.

Kajdin

It's getting worse too.

Utah: 33rd, 53rd, 69th, 53rd and 33rd since joining Pac-12; average of 48th

Indy Coug

7/26/16 3:11pm

So their 5 year average is only 4 places better post-expansion

Indy Coug

7/26/16 3:15pm

Thanks for that final calculation. Was just about to use my fingers!

Scooter

Scout or rivals or ESPN?

It seems like they've gotten more JC transfers lately, though I don't pay very

Meh, only marginally. It's not really been that great for them, Data below:

Cougarrrs

Player development is the real factor, not conference affiliation

jamalccc

7/26/16 3:31pm

The U will only be impacted negatively by a few lost LDS recruits every year.

Recruiting more non-lds athletes at the U will make it harder for them to

Cyclogist

7/26/16 6:18pm

How many LDS kids does Miami recruit anyhow?

SoValleyCOUG

7/26/16 6:30pm

Also helps to have a staff who recruits more than 5 seminarians

Not sure why you would have ever thought that.

I doubt their fans are nervous. Their fans are focused on their team, as you
