Of the players you are referencing I think there are some who chose to go elsewhere because of the culture/HC at BYU. It's not for everyone even if you are LDS or Poly.

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

Well the honor code and academics are 2 different things.

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?

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

Booker was below minimum

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?

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

cougaman

10/23/16 2:25pm

Requirements might be the same but the actual academic work load

They aren't the same
