still would have been 5-star.

As far as Gaoteote, he is a 4-star (not that he isn't really good) - but I don't look at Scout anymore, I use 247sports.

Tell him to not be worried.

I mean, I'm not holding my breath, but he's come to byu several times on his own

He's not going to byu, but he's not going to Alabama either.

Sweet, tell me mastermind about all your H.S. recruiting knowledge.

Doesn't look like much of an Alabama commit to me

If Najee Harris dropped Bama for BYU (not likely, I know...)

But if Williams has the year that we hope he can still have, why wouldn't Harris

If he likes BYU's culture (which we assume is yes), it'd be a great place to be

Best thing we could offer is you play day one. No sitting for a year or two...

I think that is a real option. I haven't seen anything from Canada saying that

TheLoneCougar

9/30/16 10:44am

You'd think that Bama would learn to offer this after they missed Bo Jackson for this reason

It's not any worse than it's been in recent years.

Frank Castiglione

Yes it is. 2015 was poor as well, but 2014 and 2016 were both good classes.

Pimpin4Paradise

9/30/16 10:17am

I think this class has the potential to be about on par with 2014.

Serious? Curious what you think was wrong with 2015? Or do you just mean

These also aren't "just" 4 star guys. They're already

Yep, both would be very good gets. Any top 300 guy is.

I don't think he was a 5 star. Just the #1 QB but pretty low in the top 100.

You're right. He was a 4-star according to ESPN & Rivals
