POLL: If your son was a 4-5* FB player this year w/ STRONG aspirations and potential to go to the NFL...

I'd have a hard time saying no to Chris Peterson or David Shaw.

VenetianCougar

2/18/18 5:53pm

Good coaches, but I'd go P4. Dabo would be #1 option

Ulysses14

2/18/18 5:56pm

I have a west coast bias (and in particular a UW bias) but that'd be great too.

VenetianCougar

Yep Coach Pete develops talent

His choice of any top 20 program? Is this a trick question?

mosterlow

Offers from the usual top 20 programs.

Traveshamockery

if his goal is the nfl, I would encourage him to chose a top 20 school that he

The spot thst fits his style the best and would give him the best chance.

I wonder what percentage of 4 or 5 * players who don't go to a UT college go inactive.

HarlemCoug

2/18/18 5:58pm

A high percentage

donnerstag

Even at Stanford it is high

Going to be very hard to reach level desired if we don't get some to come...

There are too many doofuses on the top teams like USC, Alabama, Ohio State

2/18/18 5:59pm

All those schools you mentioned are good academically aren't they?

Pasadena

2/18/18 7:42pm

Good not great

donnerstag

But better than BYU?

This seems contradictory

What I am saying is that many athletes who go to top schools

Not true. Just not the place to find a spouse.

Cougstreak

No singles ward = dealbreaker for most kids

First I'd let the kid decide

shakarocks

2/18/18 6:06pm

Of course. That's why I said opinion.

There is much I cannot stand about the U, but frankly, all of these viable

Blue goggles off...that’s funny

gwill

2/18/18 6:23pm

So...a guy like Fred Warner who is a projected 2nd round pick?

Thrill

2/18/18 6:27pm

Well I hope the people who are saying BYU have a bunch of 4 and 5 star kids

Cougarealist

2/18/18 6:30pm

Yeah, Ziggy would've had a much higher draft status elsewhere

How do you get much higher than #5 in 1st round? Remarkable w/ so little exp -

A fourth option should be to advise him to do what he thinks would be best.

Ned Schneebly

2/18/18 6:38pm

That's a given.

Traveshamockery

2/18/18 6:38pm

I wouldn't send any such son to BYU right now. In Bronco days, I'd have sent LB,

Cashmeousside

Sadly, it probably wouldn't be BYU right now

Byu_1988

2/18/18 7:17pm

Honestly, it doesn't matter if he has NFL aspirations and is that good.

JamesWestfall

2/18/18 7:59pm

Stanford, then BYU.

Junior Deputy

2/18/18 8:01pm

Depends on which position he played.

zerome4sooners

2/18/18 8:02pm

If you’re truly good, you’ll get solid play time at BYU and get noticed

Heath Squashwell

BYU rarely to never gets these guys.

BYU: Great education, big pool of females to find a wife and unique environment

This is the only logic that makes sense to me, well put.

The player will make NFL with work, not the school.

That's not entirely true. Playing with better talent around you helps a player
