Only one 4 Star Recruit?

There were several others but they've changed their commitment to Utah.

You mean 1 right?

Turnpike Lane

11/13/17 9:59pm

I don't know. Some olineman and other defensive players. Can't recall names but it was past 2-3 months.

Two Herriman kids

Not to clear Bernard?

Looks like is an understatement. BYU had ample reason. Any school picking him up

OP was about 4 stars though. None of these guys are 4 star recruits.

Lip Gallagher

11/13/17 10:51pm

FYI... Krump is only a 3 star

TheLost

11/14/17 10:09am

He has offers from bigtime schools though

I'mBatman

11/14/17 11:52am

Serious? That's the last position you should worry about them recruiting.

Lip Gallagher

11/14/17 1:53pm

Who's the Whitt relative DL?

SingleStrapBackpack

11/14/17 1:59pm

Jackson Cravens is KWhitt's nephew I believe.

Lip Gallagher

11/14/17 2:13pm

Didn't know the Whittingham and Cravens families were related

SingleStrapBackpack

11/14/17 2:14pm

All I know is what I've seen on the field

I'mBatman

11/14/17 7:46pm

What happened to Pili this year? Has he been hurt? Showed promise last year but haven't seen much in 2017.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/14/17 7:51pm

Uh, the fact that all of the highest end talent is in their first year says

Lip Gallagher

11/14/17 8:00pm

Maybe some of those young guys you mentioned will be really good

I'mBatman

11/14/17 8:46pm

What are you really missing out on though in your "building" process

Lip Gallagher

11/14/17 9:00pm

"certain transfer from a certain school"? C'mon, man!

SingleStrapBackpack

11/14/17 11:16pm

The recruiting services are 90% certain he is going to Alabama or Washington

Cougtruth

11/13/17 10:06pm

Who is the “he” here?

SingleStrapBackpack

11/13/17 11:21pm

Kaho

Some of those guys are going to get reevaluated

cougarmanguy

11/13/17 10:20pm

We’re BYU, not Alabama or Clemson

Modiolus

11/14/17 6:44am

We never get a lot of high-star recruits. That has always been true.

TailgateU

11/14/17 7:03am

We are nowhere near Alabama or Clemson. No need to compare.

TheLoneCougar

11/14/17 7:09am

I know on average 5 stars are just flat out better athletes but having a star at all puts a player

Refugee

11/14/17 7:41am

This year's recruiting class is below average, even for BYU. Bad timing as well.

dYrtbYkerYder

11/14/17 8:21am

A lot fo NFL players arent 5 stars because theres only ~30 of those a year.

molodyets

11/14/17 9:07am

Consider this question though:

CalgaryCougar

11/14/17 9:08am

If you are a 5 star its because you deserve it. Same with the majority of 4

The quality of recruiting classes is strongly correlated with on-field results.

dYrtbYkerYder

11/14/17 9:30am

The team with a better roster talent wins ~80% of the time if you compare 247

molodyets

11/14/17 9:48am

Yes, and national champions have almost always had recent Top 5 classes.

dYrtbYkerYder

11/14/17 11:10am

That's exactly the point

CalgaryCougar

11/14/17 11:23am

Only ten 4 star recruits signed with non-P5 teams last year.

11/14/17 10:15am

The star system is rigged.. the cart is before the horse

TheLost

11/14/17 10:21am

So 1 out of how many? Stars matter. In last years draft, 23 of the available 31

molodyets

11/14/17 10:25am

Missing my point..

TheLost

11/14/17 10:42am

So what you are saying is that the opinion of guys who

molodyets

11/14/17 11:01am

You are ranked by the offers you have...

TheLost

11/14/17 11:23am

There are always outliers.

Cougstreak

11/14/17 11:31am

Yet the raw data shows that stars directly correlates to getting drafted.

molodyets

11/14/17 11:31am

And winning. Of course there are exceptions, but stars are not meaningless.

dYrtbYkerYder

11/14/17 12:45pm

Read this article. I doubt 50% of 2/3 star guys get drafted.

Cougstreak

11/14/17 11:44am

Still not getting my point...

TheLost

11/14/17 11:59am

You are talking in circles!

Does this clear it up?

TheLost

11/14/17 12:18pm

We are BYU not Bama/ND/USC/Ohio State, we are not getting mainly 4/5 star kids.

Cougstreak

11/14/17 12:36pm

We still have one left? Don’t worry KS is way better at recruiting

Pretorian

11/14/17 10:46am

We ought to be able to out recruit Kansas, but maybe not.
