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

Trust me, most high school football recruits

Yeah, but if BYU wasn't an LDS school or have the PolyPipeline

KeithSweat

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.

I'm devastated.

Like a tract home community in Gilbert

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

9/20/17 2:02pm

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

9/20/17 3:23pm

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

9/20/17 2:11pm

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

9/20/17 2:23pm

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

9/20/17 2:39pm

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

9/20/17 2:42pm

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