This is some serious locker room fodder for BYU

And this guy is completely wrong. The talent level is up and rising.

"The gap right now between BYU and Utah is huge. It's the biggest its ever been. It's going to get bigger. It's going to get worse. They're not going in the right direction. Their classes have gone down every single year for 3 straight years."@CFBMatrix talks #BYU @espn700bill pic.twitter.com/xqaJtpqbwZ

She he's just basing it off of recruiting class ranking.

8/21/19 3:41pm

So it is true that our rankings have gone down 4 years straight.

8/21/19 3:45pm

Our rankings should go up this year if we can add guys like Gentry

So he is right. There are better ways to get a team motivated than telling the

Quick look at 247 says that BYU national rankings were

Thanks.

8/21/19 3:42pm

So, we dropped three straight years from 07-09 too?

SUAVO

8/21/19 3:52pm

And 04-06

SUAVO

8/21/19 3:52pm

07 and 08 were two of your best-ranked classes ever.

8/21/19 3:54pm

Yeah but last 2 years have been worse than any other since 2000.

thebruce

8/21/19 7:33pm

The last two years were historically bad by BYU standards.

8/21/19 3:51pm

Rivals stopped following BYU, so I'd take those rankings with a grain of salt

donnerstag

8/21/19 3:54pm

That's why I gave you the 247 rankings, I know how you guys feel about rivals

8/21/19 4:27pm

Rivals isn’t worth paying attention to other than their top 100 recruits...

CoachSpeak

2017 set the program back in a lot of ways.

JuicyJam

The 2018 class actually looks great thus far

We can't call Dax Milne a gem yet - 69 TOTAL receiving yards at BYU so far

A couple of them are possibly starters in Herron and LaChance

I understand that, although sometimes maybe a coach gets them as a PWO because

You have to give the coaches credit for getting good PWO players on campus

They might be thrown into the fire early and will have some learning to do as

Rivals rated a PWO as our fifth best guy or something like that

puntersarepeople

8/21/19 4:05pm

I gave you 247 too, because I know how you guys feel about Rivals.

8/21/19 4:28pm

It's not a dramatic drop off on 247

donnerstag

8/21/19 4:40pm

Your average for the 5 years before 2018 was 62

8/21/19 4:57pm

But again, the formula for computing class ranking is based on class size

I am quite sure that's how Bartoo reached his conclusions too

donnerstag

Completely agree with you

SWMOute

8/21/19 5:34pm

Depth is the biggest gap. I think our best 22 stack up with their best 22

People repeat that, but it’s so far from true

Sounds like something USC, UCLA, Oregon etc... could say about Utah

Not that big of a gap between BYU and Utah

Every year, BYU gets a lot of transfers from P5 schools...

Maybe our two best o linemen

Exactly. BYU is always going to benefit from LDS transfers to BYU.
