of a program to begin with. I don't buy it. External factors, such as the changing landscape of college football have had a much bigger impact than a single player. Did he have an impact? Yes, when he was playing. Does he impact the program now? No.

You realize he was benched last year by Kalani, right?

No he wasn’t. He got injured.

Nope. You're thinking of 2017. He was benched after USU his senior year for Wilson

The Heaps effect coincided with a change at OC from Anae to Doman...

And what caused the Mangum and Wilson declines in their second years?

KVN doesn't come to BYU if not for Heaps- Mika and TJ Haws have been

Disagree. Fan hype/expectations don't directly affect the program. If a coach

I think some kids with access to private coaches reach their peak sooner. Not

I think Rose took a dive, not the players.

Rose was very overrated. Bronco also set the program back a decade at least.

Heap, Haws, and Mika did nothing to directly hurt any of the programs.

i'm not so sure. I think its entirely possible our coaching staff is different

If I were a potential recruit, fan opinions like yours would drive me away.

I said he had an effect. All players have a stake in the future of the program.
