10 wins with our future schedules would be historically impressive.

The CB locals are starting to get restless about BYU football's recruiting...

Bottom line, the higher the stars the higher success rate in both college and

BYU has been landing a few 4 star recruits most years. The problem is that

problem is you're losing these kids to Stanford, USC, ND. Even if BYU

If most of the LDS kids came to BYU, it would be perrenial top 20 too

what you're advocating for is not likely IMO. Think of it this way,

to be blunt, that is loser mentality

recruiting has changed so much since the 80s when Lavell was doing it. And no
Bostonblue

How many two or three star players didn't pan out or never saw the field?
JOPE
6/29/16 2:24pm
the point is we need more depth. You build that from the bottom and
Bostonblue

Not true. We need coaches tht are good evaluators & developers of talent, though

100% agree. Not all 4\5* guys turn out and many 2* guys become AA/All Pro

You only have 25 so each one counts

I'm pretty sure no one will care if they win 10 games consistently

Which ones are you nervous about? Which ones do you think will be good?
YIsForBrigham
6/29/16 2:16pm
Baker, Lewis, Hanneman, and willis. I think they all have potential to be good.
TheWarden
6/29/16 2:25pm
Lewis had some of the best Sparq numbers in the country IIRC
ayfan
6/29/16 2:50pm
Not saying they won't be good, just they're the type byu has always gotten
TheWarden
6/29/16 3:25pm
That's great but why don't they have other offers?
I'mBatman
6/29/16 4:02pm
Guys like Lewis and Hanneman are local kids who BYU has TONS of connections with

I'm okay with those two

Would you rather BYU offer guys early that commit and then don't get other

If you're really good programs will still offer no matter what.

Yeah, and a lot of them end up leaving for the bigger programs. Coaches are

I think focusing on the top end is the wrong way to view things.
Bostonblue
6/29/16 2:19pm
And yet KVN singlehandedly won the Poinsettia bowl against SDSU a few years back
stoils
6/29/16 2:22pm
If landing 3 4 stars is the top end, that is scary

Why? Other programs do.

No they don't

TCU doesn't do that every year FYI.

Yes, but they are consistently in the top 30

They're not consistently up there.

Just because someone grew up LDS doesn't mean they have any intention

Absolutely true. But these kids are also ground zero of where BYU can improve

Depth is huge on defense and special teams.

Almost the craziest thing I've heard on this thread.

Players will want to see results first. Sitake has no track record.
