Because of the honor code, we are limited, but there are a lot of kids, LDS and

otherwise, that would be willing to live the honor code and play here. They just have to see it as their best option. If BYU wins and puts guys in the NFL then that will happen. Right now, guys are choosing Utah, Stanford, UCLA, USC over BYU, and it has nothing to do with the honor code.

How is BYU restricted when it comes to recruiting?

I see the honor code as sort of a cop out answer that fans use to convince

Academic and moral restrictions are not the same thing. HC is a legit issue for nonLDS kids.

Having LDS kids and Poly kids isn't a HUGE advantage?

I agree it comes to the kid wanting to be at BYU.

You can have sex at Stanford.

The academic standards are not high enough to make a difference in recruiting.

Utah does not take minimum qualifiers anymore it is the reason Booker had to sit

BYU is private and doesn't publish

I like how you put Utah on the same level as Wyoming. Good dose of reality there

It's true. Average state schools all have about the same level of difficulty for

Then why was Star Lotulelei rejected at BYU and settled on Utah?

JmThms

10/23/16 2:22pm

Better example is Pita T. Star went to Snow College, so may have qualified out

cougaman

He would have. BYU did not offer again which was a mistake.

Requirements might be the same but the actual academic work load
