I don’t completely disagree with you, but making the two deep on a .500 team

that routinely finishes ranked in the 50-70 range doesn’t really show your recruiting classes are better than the 50-70 range they end up in.

Players in the projected 2 deep that didn't help BYU's recruiting average

Nice research. One example of the lack of depth + arguably mediocre recruiting

Not saying these aren’t fine players, but we’ve also gone .500 against FBS teams

One could argue that the talent on last year's team was enough to win 10 games

One could argue that but they’d be wrong.

Did you actually watch the games last season?

I watched every minute of every game, usually multiple times.

You are making the mistake of judging talent on recruiting averages alone

Recruiting rankings weren't that much higher prior to the 2006-09 run

Great post. Well said.

Totally agree. I actually do think that the talent is not bad

...also inconsistent QB play from the returning starter. Started okay but...

Uh... a lot of our future NFL guys are on this list

How do you define below average?

Below the recruiting class average rating

BYU’s or overall?

BYU's

I think the recruiting numbers are too suspicious to put much into this...

Baylor Romney, Milne, Christensen, Fonua, Wilgar, and Kaufusi are all good enough to be in the 2 deep

I watched a handfull of 3* kids commit to FCS schools this weekend...

Payton Wilgar is gonna be a star

So I'm undecided if this list is a good thing or bad thing

It's both

My question, is this simply an FYI or are you trying to draw a conclusion or...

The strategy seems pretty clear with this staff

I think you're a little bit to optimistic on those points...

CoachSpeak

Results seem to indicate coaching and youth more

Consistency also is the result of better talent...

CoachSpeak

Translation: BYU has very mediocre talent

Ty’Son was one of those horrible transfers looking for playing time

puntersarepeople

1/27/20 2:13pm

I didn't call anyone horrible. Tyson was good in 4 games for us

At some point, recruits aren't defined by their initial rankings

Usually the talent performs as a regression to the mean. We need better

You would be taking out over 50% on any team so this is not surprising
