living room, it's hard to imagine a situation where they'd leave anything but a super positive impression.

And while super positive impressions obviously don't always lead toward signings, they definately have the potential to move the needle in a big way (especially in the LDS recruiting pool where a young man's perspective may change during his mission as well as in the Poly recruiting pool where family means so much - i.e., even if you don't win over the recruit, if you win over his family, it often ultimately pays off big).

Even without P5 membership, I'm pretty bullish on the future of BYU recruiting, provided we can win our share of the big games and avoid major scandals. Right now, you can just sense some real momentum in BYU's favor.
