Amazing list. Does Leavitt really belong on it....
I don't say this just because he's a tool, he's okay but I don't see him as a huge talent.

I'd put Teo third on that list.

Pretty sure Hunter Dimmick wasn't LDS--even though we recruited him hard.

How is Chase Hansen so high? Also, Quinn Bailey needs to be on there.
Lip Gallagher

Didn't know Quinn Bailey was LDS. I'll add him to the list.

Bailey was a huge fail by Bronco.

Pretty sure Eric Weddle should be #1 on that list.

I wouldn't include Weddle, because he wasn't LDS when he was being recruited I

Hau'oli Jamora should be very high on the list

I thought Jamora was NOT LDS.

Are Dallas Lloyd and Dalton Schultz LDS?

Lloyd is, Schultz is not

Dallas served a mission & went to Pleasant Grove not Bingham. Fun fact is he's married to Blaine Fowler's daughter.

We should consult w/ Teo on how to do it most effectively.

Jose Portilla should be somewhere

Iupati is LDS? Didn't know that. He was drafted early by SF right?

Was Zane Beadles LDS? I was under the impression that he wasn't.

To be fair, I made him last on the list

Not counting the recent recruits, based off the gap in playing years, 18% go on

You have a lot of Polys on the list that aren't LDS.
