BYU Football branding, what do recruits think of BYU... it's not good

Having coaches stay in touch has nothing to do with being fiscally responsible. Talking to the Gentry family on Andrew'

Unfortunately this isn’t the case with just football- most sports at Byu do this

And yet I bet you would hear the opposite about Pope and the basketball staff.

kimdaddy35

Key word- most

Oh I gave you a thumbs up as I agreed with your post. Pope does have a fraction of the recruits and yet you hear

Oh oops not him my bad

4/7/22 4:19pm

They do have more time than Kalani

4/6/22 6:52pm

Sounds like Kalani is getting a Chief of Staff. Could be huge in freeing up his time.

CrimWalCoug

Hot take, I think they rightfully prioritized other players over Gentry.

Jimmerfan32

Hopefully Big 12 money will help improve the recruiting budget

LiveCoug

4/6/22 4:41pm

Non P5 until 2023 will do that.

4/6/22 4:41pm

At BYU you should recruit every talented 4 star player you can get regardless of position. Not to mention this is not

a theme for defensive recruiting* in the Sitake era

LB may not be a need position, but you are in crazy town to overlook Lefau

g$

4/6/22 4:46pm

I really like his tape. He is going to be a good one wherever he goes.

kimdaddy35

4/6/22 4:47pm

He has a BYU flag on his bedroom wall, if BYU misses it goes down as an F in

It sounds like we are trending in that direction unfortunately.

I recall hearing the same of another big-time player....

This is frustrating…

MAcc15Coug

I’m sure he’s a stud and could be the best LB on the roster day 1 but

I would love to see a distribution of responses for BYU. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bimodal distribution...

cougfanblue

4/6/22 4:44pm

Some logic behind this - we generally beat Utah in head-to-head recruiting battles...

cougfanblue

4/6/22 4:46pm

I don't know that we generally beat them

krindorr

4/6/22 5:18pm

Typically equal head to head when they were P5 and we were independent.

DrYfire

4/6/22 5:44pm

VERY GOOD POINT. EVERYONE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS A VALID REASON

4/6/22 10:47pm

Which says something about the job coaches have done. I’m not worried about it

Reasonable1

4/6/22 4:47pm

You are not worried about it? Funny as all I heard from coaches last year was we couldn't play defense the way

kimdaddy35

4/6/22 4:53pm

I’m only saying I’m skeptical that coaches would intentionally ignore him.

Reasonable1

4/6/22 7:12pm

Agree with the sentiment, I think that's overstating that websites value though. Eg: they have 3 reviews

molodyets

4/6/22 4:48pm

The N/A is because BYU is new to the P5 designation so there is no 4 yr average

g$

4/6/22 4:51pm

Interesting they didn't include Houston, Cincy, and UCF.

Conan

4/6/22 4:56pm

Very interesting.

AF_Puma

4/7/22 9:32am

My guess is they planned which teams to include prior to realignment

krindorr

4/7/22 10:49am

You're assuming each recruit only visits/reviews one school?

krindorr

4/6/22 8:44pm

I don’t get it. The chart posts a Brand rating and a recruiting rating.

4/6/22 4:50pm

brand rating is separate, if you read the article it says how the brand rating

g$

4/6/22 4:54pm

I see now. Schools with high scores from the survey get the best recruits

4/6/22 5:47pm

Let's be honest here... BYU didn't get into the BIG12 because we are some athletic powerhouse...

Coug

4/6/22 5:29pm

I worry we overstate that

krindorr

4/6/22 6:08pm

You're basing your numbers on church activity status... I think that's assuming a lot...

Coug

4/6/22 7:14pm

Hmm, point taken and good to know

krindorr

4/6/22 7:50pm

In Shreveport... I'll just say this, there was a beer line on the BYU side...

Wow that is disheartening particularly with a guy like Lefau.

I'll just add that this has been a problem with Kahuku and BYU.

Wish the story was different with Lefau, but the analysis and charts are bunk.

Don't expect it to change... BYU is a church run school with an honor code.

This is a good point. To 99% of the kids surveyed BYU might as well be on Mars.
