Some of the teams ahead of BYU in the 2019 recruiting rankings:

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

2/6/19 9:27am

Only two P5s are worse. Not good.

WizeGuise

2/6/19 9:31am

Following recruiting is lame. I didn't follow recruiting until around 2014, and

If you can’t recruit you better know how to coach

youngbuck

2/6/19 9:32am

Don’t believe in ‘stars’ because Kalani’s strength is recruiting ❗️😥

MichCoug

He sees things no other coach does, it's the "measurables"

kooogar

If you can coach em up measurables are the way to go

puntersarepeople

2/6/19 5:43pm

Not if you look at average ranking of recruits

BYU '80

2/6/19 9:41am

Even so, I don't think that's going to make a huge difference

Indy Coug

2/6/19 9:43am

Puts them above most of those teams but not great by the numbers

BYU '80

2/6/19 9:49am

Big factor in rankings is the number of commits.

boscatar

2/6/19 9:50am

Yes but even by average star it's not a good class.

kooogar

2/6/19 5:19pm

It's a decent class. Player-makers at QB, WR, and LB

boscatar

2/6/19 5:31pm

Being light on the d line is because Alatini didn’t sign

puntersarepeople

2/6/19 5:42pm

Agreed. But, we didn't replace him with anyone comparable.

Looking at average player ranking puts us behind every P5

Blue Cat

This is actually a decent recruiting class, except for RB.

boscatar

2/6/19 9:47am

Are these grades based on the boscatar rating scale?

LumberCoug

2/6/19 10:00am

Based on 247Sports player ratings, with Boscatar/pro-BYU bias

boscatar

2/6/19 10:06am

I’m cool w that!

LumberCoug

2/6/19 10:27am

Our recruiting pool is smaller because we are an LDS school.

I don't fully subscribe to the rankings as cold hard fact. But yes, this is

There is a good reason why top 10 teams almost always have top 10 recruiting

blackshirts

2/6/19 11:42am

Exactly: There's a reason we lose to the Northern Illinois, UMass, etc. of the world. (Recruiting in the 70ish range.)

MichCoug

2/6/19 12:41pm

And whining constantly about it doesn't help either. BYU has generally been in

Benfica1

2/7/19 9:46am

You again... I didn't see good results I saw typical avg results. Just because

blackshirts

2/7/19 3:50pm

You again? So you think freshmen starting and winning is proof

Benfica1

Oh-No we suck Again ...

BYU DUDE 1984

According to Rivals, BYU has zero 4*; Four 3*, Fifteen 2* & two 0*. Ouch

ALUF 1990

I find myself yet again wondering why you spend your time here talking trash.

DraperCoug22

2/6/19 3:21pm

It's not really trash talk. He's pointing out a fact.

Scott_Tenorman

2/6/19 4:24pm

It's absolutely trash talk

boscatar

2/6/19 5:13pm

Coming to the rival's forum & pointing out how bad they are isn't trash-talking?

DraperCoug22

2/6/19 9:38pm

We are a religious school with strict recruiting limitations.

KS’ strength is recruiting tho. How can you call yourself a fan?

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

2/6/19 1:28pm

His strength is finding diamonds in the rough a la Chris Wilcox

puntersarepeople

2/6/19 3:13pm

I never liked the recruit rankings. We've had two 5* QB's and neither kept

ImuaKahuku

How do you account for Bama & Clemson at the top of recruiting rankings every

ALUF 1990

2/6/19 1:06pm

Point he was making that was obviously lost on you ...

ManicBlue

2/6/19 1:14pm

I agree with his point (mostly). Maybe you can answer my question.

ALUF 1990

2/6/19 7:17pm

I guess you missed this.

ManicBlue

2/6/19 7:41pm

Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney are elite coaches.

Mattattack159

2/6/19 1:16pm

Same way you account for Texas and USC

Recruiting rankings are pretty good indicator if you look at the big picture

Sweet. Are they ahead of us in the final standings?

RELAX!! Recruiting services look at various factors when grading classes

Cougarpride
