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

He’s also lazy

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

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

Not usually

Actually yes. Almost always. Look at this article.

Blueto

The article draws conclusions limited in scope

They matter. Here's more data.

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

4 and 5 star recruits underperform on average at BYU

Other than Tonga

2 star players are generally not expected to become starters

donnerstag

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

stoils

We've replaced Bronco players with players with better measurables

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

The team is young. Have a little patience

We are at the "lot of patience" level now

stoils

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

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

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

che flaco

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

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

NacoCoug

True. The rest aren't very proven

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

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

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
