Not sure if Tonga is the best defensive player on the team.

11/15/18 11:27am

Its probably Corbin or TakiTaki, but either way Tonga started at DT as a Fr.

Hmmmm......he'd be my pick. His stats are not huge because of the attention he

He’s also lazy

Mathew

From a talent perspective, he's the #1 player

donnerstag

11/15/18 11:36am

He's a great player, especially as only a soph, but he could be a first round

Tonga tends to take plays off and not play with a high motor

Truth is recruiting ranking is an accurate indicator of future team success

Blueto

Not usually

donnerstag

11/15/18 11:38am

Actually yes. Almost always. Look at this article.

Blueto

11/15/18 11:40am

The article draws conclusions limited in scope

donnerstag

They matter. Here's more data.

Blueto

That's a very poor interpretation of a badly written article

Bad article

Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that recruiting top players equates

You should show historical 4 and 5 star recruits which have dragged BYU's actual results down

Indy Coug

4 and 5 star recruits underperform on average at BYU

Other than Tonga

2 star players are generally not expected to become starters

donnerstag

11/15/18 11:55am

So we've replaced bad Bronco players with legit 2 star athletes, wahoo

stoils

11/15/18 12:12pm

We've replaced Bronco players with players with better measurables

donnerstag

11/15/18 12:19pm

And we lose a lot more. Doesn't seem to be working.

The team is young. Have a little patience

in addition, due to recent seasons, we have to look for diamonds in the rough

11/15/18 1:46pm

Most of our 2-deep consists of 3 and 4 star guys...Tonga is an exception

boscatar

11/15/18 1:39pm

Other than Tonga and Katoa, none of the others have been al that impressive.

UNHuskerCoug

Aleva was arguably our best playmaker on offense before getting banged up.

che flaco

11/15/18 1:01pm

Is that saying much though, comparatively speaking?

UNHuskerCoug

11/15/18 2:24pm

People will disagree, but IMO, Wilcox has become one of the best corners BYU

CMuehle

11/15/18 2:56pm

I never heard anyone complain about Tonga and Katoa. Both P12 transfers...

NacoCoug

11/15/18 1:48pm

True. The rest aren't very proven

donnerstag

11/15/18 2:00pm

Yay, starters that helped the team win 4 games last year and 5 so far this year.

Meh... Having a couple of 2 stars play well is normal. Here are some other

Max Hall and Jamaal were both 3 star players on both rivals and 247

donnerstag

11/15/18 2:46pm

Rivals, ESPN gave Hall 2*. Check BYU's Commitment list for 2006.

What fraction of BYU's 2 star recruits become starters? What fraction of their 3
