“After lots of prayer and talking with my family and coaches, I just felt like I needed to do it, and go through the recruiting process the right way..."
That bites. Players aren't dumb. If he had no reservations that he could get to the NFL while at BYU would he be backing out of his committment? This guy is in BYU's backyard at Snow College and being recruited the "right way" to him means not committing to BYU and looking elsewhere. There's a feel here regarding our best recruits that we're slipping. We've been struggling to hang on to guys like Fred Warner, Dayan Lake, etc. Losing a top recruit like Bolles really stinks.
2 players drafted by the NFL in the past 5 seasons, that really stinks too.
