season ending inteview on 700 with KW. the thing that stuck with me was a few

100% correct. Independence is not sustainable unless you go 11-2 or 12-1

pink22

1/9/18 1:26pm

Yeah, top recruits are fighting each other for spots on Mountain West teams!

adrock

1/9/18 2:11pm

G5 Rivals recruiting rankings since you went independent:

displacedute

1/9/18 4:01pm

Depressing. But I think rivals always downgrades byu

johnnycarson

1/9/18 4:19pm

Scout's numbers are not noticeably different.

displacedute

1/9/18 4:36pm

I've heard this on CB a few times. There's nothing that ever backs this claim up

BigBrotherUte

1/9/18 4:49pm

Was BYU's recruiting better before going independent?

baldcoug74

1/9/18 7:56pm

Yes.

displacedute

1/9/18 9:36pm

So in 7 years, BSU out recruited BYU 5 times & SDSU, FSU & SJSU once each.

ptcougr

1/9/18 8:51pm

I don't think we will. I think the season will mean more.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 9:51pm

While there is some truth, are there P5 teams whose recruiting rankings are

ByuMba90

1/9/18 1:30pm

we aren't trying to be oregon state. and there are also several g5 teams ahead

johnnycarson

1/9/18 1:31pm

How many G5's teams are ranked higher than BYU?

ByuMba90

1/9/18 1:32pm

this year? 5. including florida atlantic.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 1:35pm

In a typical season (not 2017) BYU would run over all of those schools

CaliWG

1/9/18 1:41pm

FAU is because of Lane Kiffen and only Lane Kiffen.

Dissenter

1/9/18 1:52pm

And how well are they doing?

mudpupper

1/9/18 2:17pm

From 2012-16 there were 3 P5s that averaged a lower recruiting ranking than BYU

Blue Cat

1/9/18 3:18pm

Isn't Sitake supposed to be an amazing recruiter?

acougfan

1/9/18 1:33pm

he is landing about where bronco did.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 1:35pm

after this year it will be well below

BigYfan

1/9/18 1:42pm

Yep. If recruiting is Kalani's strength, then BYU is in big trouble

Coogar2

1/9/18 6:03pm

Also.... If uva wins the acc... Byu is in big trouble.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 6:23pm

According Rivals, BYU had a spike for the class of 2016 up to #48 supposedly

Mikey

1/9/18 1:44pm

So far that is more MYTH than truth based on recruiting rankings.

Mr. Scoobs

1/9/18 1:53pm

Not if you consider transfers.

BeefNoodleSoup

1/9/18 2:02pm

Then you have to consider all transfers at every school, not just BYU

coolblue

1/9/18 2:05pm

Do you also consider transfers leaving the program in that equation??

byu_coug

1/10/18 6:15am

The net transfers for all programs combined is zero.

BeefNoodleSoup

1/10/18 3:27pm

Maybe if all else was equal. It's not though

Cashmeousside

1/9/18 2:08pm

Sitake was being judged by his recruiting in a P5 conference.

CharlottesvilleCoug

1/9/18 6:29pm

Weren't we in the 40s consistently as a MWC school? Indy will never work if we are stuck in the 60s.

Bert609

1/9/18 1:39pm

this year i think we'd kill for the 60s. i think we're like 80.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 1:40pm

Pretty sure BYU was normally 60ish

palangi

1/9/18 1:43pm

No. We hit 40 in 2010 but have been upper 50s and 60s for the most part.

Mikey

1/9/18 1:47pm

Saban also gets the best players because he's one of the best coaches

palangi

1/9/18 1:40pm

Yup. You have to have players/talent,unless your name is Ty.

CarolinaCoug

1/9/18 1:46pm

bad example because he was 60 spots lower than average

palangi

1/9/18 1:52pm

BYU's schedule was too easy to have a bottom 10 offense

TNT

1/9/18 1:56pm

He produced an offense 30 spots lower than his ranking.

mudpupper

1/9/18 2:19pm

since going indy. you realize we were in that same ranking frame beforehand. You could point

Bob Vance

1/9/18 2:05pm

i think we are in a worse position now though, because the p5 tier is so clearly

johnnycarson

1/9/18 2:11pm

So, the problem is that we aren't P5 and your solution is to join a G5 league?

SUAVO

1/9/18 5:37pm

Yep. Aac is better than indy.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 5:55pm

How does your solution solve the problem?

SUAVO

1/9/18 6:04pm

It doesn't. But at least it gives our season an obtainable meaningful

johnnycarson

1/9/18 6:23pm

Ok, but it doesn't solve anything as it pertains to the problem. It may even

SUAVO

1/9/18 6:32pm

An Ny6 game like ucf would do this program wonders.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 7:59pm

obtainale yes...meaningful, absolutely not. Not to recruits or fans.

Lance71

1/9/18 7:47pm

I refuse to believe that had we just beat auburn in the

johnnycarson

1/10/18 9:04am

I don't Indy has hurt recruiting so much as Utah being a decent P5.

mudpupper

1/9/18 2:21pm

he's not exactly unbiased on this front, right? It's not like he's going

Bostonblue

1/9/18 2:27pm

i think he's more saying that if you boil down priorities.....recruiting is

johnnycarson

1/9/18 2:45pm

and I'm saying if you boil down priorities, coaching is the most important. I'm

Bostonblue

1/9/18 3:08pm

As of now 2019 class is pretty solid if you ask me

BountifulCoug5

1/9/18 2:47pm

if they stay.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 2:56pm

Yep. 247 sports has a class calculator feature and if you put in all the 3 and 4

thaskoozcoug

1/9/18 3:46pm

You guys make me laugh... BYU is not a normal school!!!

TheLost

1/9/18 2:48pm

well then we should be dII.

johnnycarson

1/9/18 2:52pm

This is what drove Bronco’s recruiting strategy

hansel

1/9/18 3:16pm

This guy gets it. BYU will NEVER be able to CONSISTENTLY compete

Traveshamockery

1/9/18 3:19pm

Actually... I think they can... and i think KS is the key (flame suit on)

TheLost

1/9/18 5:20pm

I disagree. No way he (or anyone) can get enough recruits with a high level

Traveshamockery

1/9/18 6:21pm

It goes back to what BYU is..

TheLost

1/9/18 8:15pm

So fire an icon of the program. Great move.

Count Cougar

1/9/18 2:54pm

True. You win in college football by recruiting and coach a little along the way

Mark320

1/9/18 3:14pm

bronco sucked at recruiting and is an exception to the rule.....

idacoug

1/9/18 5:17pm

That's not fair.

displacedute

1/9/18 5:30pm

Bronco's first 5 classes averaged 42nd in the Country.

Gorum the Old

1/10/18 8:14am

So what does it say when BYU recruits in the 60s-70s, but has a computer ranking of about 36 from 2010-2016?

mulletino

1/9/18 6:44pm

It means Bronco is a good coach. Saved us from a mess and we are in one now.

Mr. Scoobs

1/9/18 7:11pm

Wnning is the biggest thing that helps this.

Coug Dude

1/9/18 7:56pm

This is news to you?

BlueSioux

1/9/18 8:07pm

What was Central Florida's recruiting rankings?

UCF's has been a little bit better than BYU's in recent years. One advantage
