Then what? Maybe be a UNLV or schools like that.

The pool isn't limited.

Does BYU really have a small recruiting pool?

How about those not in the pool

Imagine not having LDS ties or Polynesian ties?

You may have forgotten another big one - the academic requirements.

If kids want to go elsewhere then the pool shrinks

Take away the LDS tie-in and BYU becomes Cal Lutheran of Division III.

I didn't want to say that but....

It is shallow, like Shallow Hal. I think we're shallower than BSU.

franklyvulgar

9/20/17 1:54pm

Maybe, but we generally rank higher than BSU in recruiting.

CougarThug

Not really.

Very accurate

Right, good point

It's limited if you want to be a good team and aren't in a conference. Kids want

Just say it: it's the Honor Code. However, I think we should not

I don't trust or believe you. They do and will come.

Compared with everyone else: It's a wading pool compared with olympic-sized pool

84 Grad

9/20/17 2:01pm

The pool is very small.

PhilPete

9/20/17 2:01pm

No. There's plenty of talent that would come here

Linfurd

There's PLENTY more (good, clean kids) who'd come if our BOT & HC

Agree completely.

I wonder if the brethren keep the honor code to limit applications.

displacedute

9/20/17 2:53pm

What's most alarming is we've gotten noticeably worse in this regard

mantis mutu

AMEN! The Honor Code is a blessing and a curse

What 17 year old kid looks forward to 5 years of college without booze and sex?

Backcountry

MUCH bigger than a lot of fans think. But much smaller than other programs

Lip Gallagher

Start with all the kids willing to live the honor code while in college

I know a lot of people who haven't lived the honor code.

Yes it is small. But it is also a very rich pool considering the size.

The UNLVs don't typically get the looks from the LDS and Poly kids

KeithSweat

What percentage of the current roster is non-LDS?

Cougtruth

9/20/17 2:43pm

Small is the wrong word. It is a restricted or limited recruiting pool.

Real Men Wear Blue

Of course it's a relatively small pool. However, we get a far bigger percentage of that pool than others do of the much
