Couple of moronic things Gunther just said about BYU's talent (edit)
1) BYU is bottom 20 in the nation as far as total talent on the team
2) 75% of BYU's team is walk-on level talent (claiming that 75% of BYU's team didn't receive an offer besides BYU)
3) He did say that the reason he brings these things up is to compliment what a great job BYU's coaches are doing, but it still annoyed me how much he was exaggerating about BYU's "lack" of talent.

List of a few BYU starters, 2 deep guys, or guys w/ playing time this year with listed offers from Scout.com outside of BYU:
Butch Pauu (6 offers)
Steven Richards (2 offers)
Austin Hoyt (3 offers)
Tanner Mangum (5 offers)
Ryker Matthews (3 offers)
Tomasi Laulile (4 offers)
Mike Davis (2 offers)
Devon Blackmon (9 offers)
Tejan Koroma (2 offers)
Jaterrius Gulley (6 offers)
Nick Kurtz (12 offers)
Fred Warner (10 offers)
Tyler Cook (14 offers)
Sione Takitaki (7 offers)
Jacob Jimenez (2 offers)
JJ Nwigwe (9 offers)
Eric Takenaka (3 offers)
Micah Simon (2 offers)
Tevita Mounga (5 offers)
Taloa'i Ho Ching (3 offers)
Sae Tautu (2 offers)
Graham Rowley (6 offers)
Mitch Mathews (2 offers)
Harvey Langi (8 offers)

Now many of these guys don't have AMAZING offers or offer numbers, but Mr. Gunther stated about 50 times in 5 minutes that 75% of BYU's guys they rely on are walk-ons w/ no one else besides BYU offering them. He listed about 5 total guys that are in BYU's 2-deep that had offers from other programs, and said the rest had only BYU offers. Now I've listed above just a few guys I could think of that are either in the 2-deep or have had playing time that have more than just a BYU offer. I haven't even listed guys who aren't playing, are injured, or are on missions with multiple offers.

Also # of offers does not equate to talent level. Mr. everything Bronson Kaufusi and Travis Tuiloma both had ONE offer, and that was BYU, while the guy next to them (Graham Rowley) who no one even notices because he does NOTHING had 6 listed offers from Scout. Now do you want to tell me that Rowley is better than Kaufusi or Tuiloma because of his # of offers?

Gunther, I know that you feel that Utah is sooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better talentwise than BYU, and you just can't contain yourself sometimes, but guess what, if you're going to make an asinine hyperbolic comment you're going to get called out for it. I normally enjoy your show, but when you get the urge to say stupid things, please just close your mouth for one second and stop vomiting BS just because someone places a microphone in front of you.
