I'm skeptical of the recruiting tactics of the new regime

Sounds like you're stressing yourself out about things you shouldn't.

Vincent's Picks

5/19/16 1:52pm

Stressed out? No. Worried we may go through a down cycle if

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 2:03pm

One of the advantages with this staff is it opens up new recruiting channels.

Vincent's Picks

5/19/16 2:13pm

I absolutely agree it will open up opportunities with polys

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 2:18pm

I'm basing it on Gifford, Kalani, Ty, Ed, etc...

Vincent's Picks

5/19/16 2:21pm

So basically your opinion?

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 4:34pm

Yes. Wait a minute...are we fighting?

Vincent's Picks

5/19/16 8:23pm

So offering more talent means talent acquired will go down?

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 7:19pm

Bronco recruits (walkons) will always be available so there you go

Y4LYFE

Byu has also been accused of being lazy

johnnycarson

5/19/16 1:53pm

The majority of big recruits that Sitake got were guys that

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 2:05pm

Name one we've missed that should've come up to now?

whiteninja

5/19/16 3:39pm

I could name a bunch, but you would say we shouldn't have come up with them

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 4:32pm

It seems to me that the recruiting progression goes like this

LosAlcoug

5/19/16 4:21pm

Why have worry posts in May?

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 7:26pm

My take: as much as it was reported Sitake was going after big names

mantis mutu

5/20/16 6:24am

The big names don't commit until the end of the process. Wait till signing day

scott715

5/20/16 9:45am

Maybe wait a bit to see how things shake out before wringing your hands too much

Huge Manatee

5/19/16 1:54pm

I get the angst, but let's go a couple full recruiting classes before we say

Mexicougazul

5/19/16 1:54pm

I agree 100% and meant to convey that in the post

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 2:07pm

Without the angst, what is Cougarboard?

5/19/16 2:24pm

What I wonder is what happens when recruits figure out BYU has offered a ton of

Indy Coug

5/19/16 1:56pm

I think this is a huge part of it

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 2:00pm

How often though is a kid really the only one being recruited at his position?

Polecat

5/19/16 2:37pm

P.S. Since I don't know the answers to the questions I posed

Indy Coug

5/19/16 2:10pm

I knew you hated BYU football. You're such a negative poster. Sheesh...

Mathew

5/20/16 2:35am

It can also entice a kid on the fence to commit early since the spot may be gone

Ghost

5/19/16 3:39pm

You are looking at it backwards.

Backcountry

5/19/16 6:20pm

The fear of a loss of scholarship? If we're gunning for players being wooed

Indy Coug

5/19/16 8:47pm

Some, yes.

Backcountry

5/19/16 8:49pm

Why is that a question when it's nothing more than what

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 7:04pm

He is treating it like a salesman would.

digitalayon

5/19/16 2:47pm

The best salesmen I have ever seen make relationships with

kimdaddy35

I've been in sales 20 years

byukarl

5/20/16 8:02am

I agree

digitalayon

5/20/16 12:25pm

No doubt about that

kimdaddy35

5/20/16 6:34pm

Well we tried your way for the last decade. Time for something new

kotacoug

5/19/16 2:48pm

Not really. Bronco was getting better at recruiting, but admittedly didn't

kimdaddy35

I'm skeptical of this post

CougarFootballHomer

5/19/16 2:52pm

We'll always get the guys "actually interest in BYU" the question is who else?

CougarFootballHomer

5/19/16 2:54pm

You mean guys like Britain Covey who have ties to BYU?

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 4:30pm

It is interesting, Sitake seems the shotgun approach while Bronco had the rifle

BYUfan92

5/19/16 3:06pm

Bronco had an elf knife

Y4LYFE

5/20/16 7:09am

Do you realize how much of an outlier BYU recruiting has been compared to other

wcj99

5/19/16 3:16pm

Bingo. Other schools are offering hundreds more.

Bostonblue

5/19/16 4:13pm

So more offers = good work ethic?

TheKing

5/19/16 5:02pm

It just shows people base their worries not on

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 7:41pm

Interesting, and incorrect, interpretation of what I said.

wcj99

5/19/16 8:24pm

I was agreeing with you man.

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 9:04pm

That's not how I read your comments, but in that case I apologize.

wcj99

5/19/16 11:03pm

200-250? Is there a source for that?

JadonY

5/19/16 8:34pm

I use the Rivals database.

honeymoon already over...

Cougarclaw

5/19/16 3:42pm

Was there really a honeymoon?

Heinz57

5/19/16 4:17pm

Does Kalani know of your skepticism? Give him a call or leave a voice message.

BYU I Bleed Blue

5/19/16 4:16pm

You are right tough guy, no one should ever say anything even remotely

kimdaddy35

5/19/16 4:38pm

Wow, strike a nerve there? I'm not saying you can't question things but when the

BYU I Bleed Blue

5/19/16 8:23pm

Seems to me that players are waiting to see how Sitake does before committing

dallinski

5/19/16 4:27pm

Great point

Lalau

5/19/16 4:45pm

would you recommend KS go back to how BM did it and only offer 60-70 recruits

Bostonblue

5/19/16 4:57pm

You don't follow recruiting much do you?

molodyets

5/19/16 4:58pm

Too early to really tell, honestly.

Harrison0Yfan

5/19/16 5:05pm

I'd rather recruit too hard than not recruit at alll...and thats the way it was

Y4LYFE

He's here all week folks!!!

coug10278

It's post like these that drive me crazy - I can't even begin to say why

BlueSioux

5/19/16 5:54pm

Oh gosh. You guys are hilarious.

southernfriedcougar

5/19/16 7:02pm

Have you seen how many scholies a place like Alabama hands out?

Archaea

5/19/16 7:24pm

Bronco missed out on players because he didn't offer enough

Dr T-bone

5/19/16 8:25pm

When are you ever NOT skeptical?

SaintGeorgeYFan

5/19/16 9:34pm

Yes the vast majority of the time

kimdaddy35

5/20/16 2:52am

Bronco narrowed the pool too much.

JuanitaCougar

It's BSU's formula to success. You get your name out there to all the big names

mantis mutu

5/20/16 11:25am

Interesting as they only have 39 offers according to Rivals
