Regarding Mormon(whatever yall call LDS now) athletes going to BYU or not

The biggest issue isn't LDS athletes not choosing BYU, it's them going to Utah, a hated rival.

Shaming shouldn’t happen. Glad you’re a fan. Keep in mind the vocal group,

BYU needs the top LDS athletes to come to maximize success. Other religious

Iron Coug

1/15/19 12:52pm

BYU needs SOME of the top LDS athletes - All or sometimes even most will simply

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/15/19 1:55pm

BYU can win 8 games with SOME of the LDS talent. BYU with MOST or ALL

Iron Coug

1/15/19 2:44pm

It's not necessarily that an LDS kid should or "has to" fo to BYU, I just really

fattycoug

1/15/19 1:16pm

I agree with the part about athletes being affected by what BYU fans say. There

Is it bad to leave a job you've just started at for a more prestigious job?

all teams get upset when a recruit goes elsewhere. I don't feel bad about

buckeyecougarguy

1/15/19 1:27pm

Because LDS big time athletes are our ace in the hole.

when they spurn us, they become the hole in the ace

Were Cleveland fans sad when LeBron spurned them for Miami? Yes, yes they were.

Could be Travis Knight, Casey Jacobsen if he fibbed a little on the NBA timeline, Steve Hayes if he's really old.

scootsy

1/15/19 2:14pm

heck, it could be Scot Pollard.

andrewg3

1/15/19 2:24pm

Just like Dwight, we are our most qualified opponent. We make ourselves look bad

TheismanHill1911

1/15/19 2:04pm

Say hi to Travis

gurt

1/15/19 2:26pm

Knight only had a 7 year NBA career and was actually born in Utah.

My Guess is Chis Burgess to Duke.

Uh 10 year nba career so no.

So, you're not really a BYU fan. That's fine.

ArchbishopMitty

1/15/19 3:33pm

It’s not about fandom, it’s about FEP....

How does BYU get there? Our schedule is getting there...but recruiting lags

boscatar

1/15/19 3:45pm

Have you ever been to these venues?

Cougstreak

1/15/19 5:37pm

I've been to about 1/3 of them. And, I meant BYU is same

boscatar

1/16/19 9:04am

Agree. LES is a great venue but not in the same universe as top programs.

Cougstreak

1/16/19 12:39pm

If I am a kid knowing what I know today I would absolutely choose BYU

You are comping a HOF QB to bench players in the NBA?

Cougstreak

1/15/19 5:45pm

I am going to start asking about Harper and see. I do admit they mostly know

pappabear246

1/16/19 12:22pm

Many many know about Harper. Majority don’t care either way.

I was at work when I watched Harper on TV predicting BYU would lose that weekend
