Jay Drew:
“My priority would be Chris Burgess. I just think he’s a good local recruiter, he’s respected by the club coaches around the state. There are a lot of rumors out there that these coaches really didn’t like sending their kids to play for Mark Pope.”
“I don’t know if you’d ever get anybody on the record, saying that, or confirming that but I’ve heard great things from a lot of people about Chris Burgess.”
“He kind of reminds me of years ago, Jeff Judkins who was that guy, that Pied Piper, who relates to the local kid. Especially the local LDS kids, and bring them in and lift that blow of LDS Kids that should have come to BYU that went to Utah.”
“Chris Burgess, we know what he’s making at Utah, $255,000 a year. You would think with this influx of money brought on by Ryan Smith and others that BYU ought to be able to beat that fairly significantly if they really want to get Chriss Burgess here.”
