Agreed. It is just easier to recruit OLB & scheme for pressure

Than try to recruit the individual talent at DL that can get pressure without blitzing. OLB is simply a positional BYU can find elite talent consistently with their recruiting pool, while DE is not.

I missed the Kaho de-committ but this IMO underscores

Our average class since 2002 when these sites started has been in the mid 60s.

You think they would suddenly sign if we got a new coach in right now? Who

molodyets

Maybe Jim Harbaugh or Urban Meyer

No, you missed my point

Because there was one year that was bad and the captain addressed the problem.

It is yet to be determined if he fixed it, but he addressed it.

Lets see what happens the next few months with recruiting before we make any

2016 had several players in the NFL this year

I agree, but it was 1 bad year. BYU can't afford, literally, to fire a coach

So Sitake isn't a great recruiter, like he was touted to be.

acougfan

12/17/17 10:20am

Cuz he can't sell a lie? He's obviously a very good recruiter. He'll rebound.

I want him to be a great recruiter and am hoping that he can be, but there

You realize he's got on roster now (that he owes NOTHING to the previous staff)

True about the turd and the turd is of his making unfortunately- I really do

I really hope he has the stuff of a good HC to him. He definitely has a TON to

Even with Bronco’s consistent success he wasn’t able to recruit above average

Duke Silver

Agree mostly. But his recruiting edge still matters a ton. I think he'll shore

This is a reflection of scheme.

Switching to a 4-3 is a mistake. Need to go back to 3-4

I think Kalani thought he could recruit 4-3 DL

I think we should be multiple in that area. Like in 2016.

If that's true, these coaches are not wise

BigYfan

I agree with you completely.

wilsdad

12/17/17 12:26pm

I think it's 10% on scheme, tops. LBs still play a big role in our D.

mantis mutu

It will be interesting to see.

wilsdad

This year we'll have all the talent at both LB & DL to go as far as possible

Disagree. First off losing Kaho has nothing to do with running the

Kafentzis was a big recruit out of high school and has been valuable too

The fact that we had a lot of high profile guys committed is a great sign!
