No. Would tell him to go to Utah.

if your son was expecting to play college football, would you recommend BYU?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes

12/2/19 11:02am

If he was an average player, yes. If he was going to be a star, Yes but I also

MikeDitka'sStache

Depends on his other options and how good he is

DieHarder

12/2/19 11:03am

If he is barely making a D1 team, then yes. If he has realistic aspirations of competing a the highest level of college

Of course

How good is my kid? Development and putting guys in the league are not BYU

This is a better answer than mine. I'm not discounting the pros of the BYU education and experience. But,

BYU is not in the equation if your #1 priority is football

CougarThug

12/2/19 11:04am

Wouldn’t push it but wouldn’t talk him out of it either

cougfanz

12/2/19 11:04am

If my son isn’t a major recruit and doesn’t mind living the HC, sure, I’d have no problem

The Dude Abides

12/2/19 11:05am

Much easier to say Yes when it’s a hypothetical.

12/2/19 11:06am

Not sure I'd want to subject him to cougarboard.

Skeeziks

LOL! All teams have psychotic message boards these days.

Costanza

12/2/19 11:09am

I don't read those ones. I wouldn't know what they were saying.

Cougarboard with swears

Except the Utes. Their psychos just come here.

If he were not going to go the NFL, in a heartbeat. If going to the NFL, yes,...

Coop

12/2/19 11:06am

Depends on if he has goals to play in the NFL or not.

DadBod

12/2/19 11:07am

I think BYU could sell kids on NFL.

BYihateU

12/2/19 11:54am

Too many variables to say for sure. I'd hope it all lined up but it might not.

Soupie

12/2/19 11:07am

If BYU was the only offer sure. Or the best offer, absolutely.

ReggaeCoug

12/2/19 11:08am

Absolutely. His chance of going pro is like 1%, and BYU offers so much more than most schools.

The “life experience” is one of the reasons I would possibly encourage him to go elsewhere.

The Dude Abides

12/2/19 11:20am

I've gone out of state for school myself. So I guess maybe that is why I value what BYU offers more outside of footbal.

Turnpike Lane

12/2/19 11:27am

I'm sure I wouldn't want my kid to get the typical "life experiences" of a

StarMan

12/2/19 12:39pm

I was thinking more along the lines of meeting people from different faiths and backgrounds. More diversity.

The Dude Abides

12/2/19 12:48pm

Okay, sounds reasonable. I find my kids who served missions have had a

StarMan

12/2/19 1:00pm

Absolutely... D1 scholarships are hard to find, and BYU Is a great school...

Coug

12/2/19 11:13am

Way too many variables. Does my kid want to go? Are they active LDS?

PessimisticCB

12/2/19 11:14am

And what's the outlook for him and his position? Will he get PT? Is the team already loaded at his position?

Soupie

12/2/19 11:20am

Correct.

PessimisticCB

12/2/19 11:27am

Would depend on if he had NFL potential

stansburycoug

You guys over simplify recruiting... its not Black & White.

DraperCoug22

12/2/19 12:20pm

Could your 'hypothetical' kid get into BYU without football?

TheLost

12/2/19 12:44pm

Good question. Let me ask him.

DraperCoug22

12/2/19 12:50pm

Yes

BBLUE76

12/2/19 12:22pm

No. Would tell him to go to Utah.

WDaddy

I would tell him not to overlook BYU but I wouldn't push it on him either
