I’m as critical of the coaches as anyone, but the biggest thing that holds us back from P5 caliber program is our

We had only 1 2 star player last year for the first time. That’s improvement.

Yep, our starters can compete with most schools. Backups not so much.

Coaches are the ones that recruit players in college

To a college that has an honor code and idiosyncratic aspects that limit the pool of recruits that will listen.

Agree. And what do ya think of these: inflexible academic standards...

Usually yes, but BYU has a big asterik... like no other D1 school

It's so weird how many BYU fans don't understand how unique and "peculiar" BYU is.

You realize our school is very limited who we can recruit,yes? Then our athletes leave for 2

We can recruit 90% of who is at Snow,Suu,weber,

What if they don’t like the honor code or can’t qualify academically?

PessimisticCB

Our coaches are handicapped by self-imposed restrictions.

If we go air raid we can be competitive.

idacoug

Not with the pasty WRs we recruit

Backcountry

9/22/19 10:52am

I don't think we have enough speed at WR for that

'Air Raid' at WSU just got punk'd by a terrible UCLA team. (And the D).

Has this not been a limitation for BYU until the past three years?

No, but I think it’s becoming more and more a factor with how college football is moving... everyone wants to go to the

It seriously blows my mind how bad our WR's are...

The WRs were bad yesterday. But they were excellent last 2 weeks. Hopefully

Problem = Too many “Utah based kids”. Solution= Need more “speed, athleticism”. Hmmm, I’m trying to decipher your code

Zach Morris

9/22/19 9:23am

There’s a reason why Kyle has taken his recruiting largely outside of Utah... the elite Utah kids are now

crm48

9/22/19 9:26am

I’m pretty sure you’re not using “Utah based kids” to mean those who grew up within Utah’s imaginary border

Zach Morris

9/22/19 9:31am

Well and the fact the I know Utah has some decent HS programs, but kids look a lot better against weaker schools

crm48

9/22/19 9:36am

I wonder why?

Zach Morris

9/22/19 9:40am

But why are kids from Utah slower? The water? The altitude?

ochobeeguy

9/22/19 2:20pm

Genetics.

crazY

9/22/19 2:46pm

We genetically engineer them to be slower?

ochobeeguy

9/22/19 5:29pm

Some might call it that. I call it breeding.

Nothing is going to change unless we hit the P5 lottery that Utah won

Yeah but he isn’t a typical “Utah Based kid” now is he?

Not sure what you mean by this. Lots of Polys on UT, if that’s what you mean

You speak truth. I highly recommend reading about Bud Elliott's blue-chip ratio

That's just reality for non-P5 teams. Only four 4Star players with P5 offers
