If this kid wants the LDS lifestyle, why didn't USU, Weber, or SUU offer?

RdF3

Again, the kid is from Mississippi. SUU did offer though

Why does that matter? Western Kentucky found him

There are plenty of legitimate gripes with the staff, poor recruiting isn’t one.

Stop talking cougarstats and look at rosters.

Haven't you heard of the great powerhouse known as Western Kentucky?

Oh wait, the same WKU who beat Purdue, USC, Boston College, and OK St last year?

coug719

Yep, the one that missed the NCAA tournament, just like BYU and got invited to
