P5 exclusion has critically hurt BYU's recruiting. Anyone who says differently is blind.
Your current posts are just as blind. If BYU can establish a consistent P5 type schedule and win against that schedule they will absolutely get better players.
The way for BYU to get over the current slump is to continue to get excellent QBs, and RETAIN the best players we are getting now. If Kalani has a great QB and a roster filled with junior and senior starters, we can win over many P5 schools that have better talent.
