I'll vouch for this. I get lots of athletes in my classes and have never been

Please name one partial qualifier ever at BYU other than Lake. And Utah takes

That's what I was saying too haha

Not so. The PAC12 allows one non-qualifier per recruiting class. In Dayan's case

They may have more flexibility but you're acting like they use that flexibility

You have more flexibility to smoke pot in Colorado, but that does little good

I will correct you, you are totally wrong, the issue was with the HS

1 point of clarification, it was math, not history, link to old thread
