With 2020 Recruiting class wrapping up, here's how BYU fared vs G5's -

Klompus

2/5/20 10:41am

I feel like a bunch of our recruits are under-recruited

BlueVU

2/5/20 10:43am

Every fanbase feels this way to some extent. If I hop on a Houston board, I'll

Klompus

2/5/20 10:49am

Of course you do.

coolblue

2/5/20 2:27pm

you are not wrong

Beetdiggercoug

2/5/20 5:30pm

What is your solution? This is an honest question.

ReyOso

2/5/20 10:53am

Oh I guess you do not know Klompus -he wants to join a G5 conference and reduce

cwilke1

2/5/20 11:01am

It's not the worst idea in the world, although there are obvious drawbacks.

ReyOso

2/5/20 11:05am

BYU in the MWC would improve the MWC, but its far from certain that that

cwilke1

2/5/20 11:06am

You might be right, it's hard to say.

ReyOso

2/5/20 11:10am

The AAC is better than the MWC in every metric and has been for years.

Klompus

2/5/20 11:11am

Post-BYU reentering and BYU strengthening its program, would it still be?

ReyOso

2/5/20 11:56am

There is a pretty significat gap. Consider that the AAC West was rated higher

Klompus

2/5/20 12:08pm

Transfer portal might help move talent from the top schools.

ManicBlue

2/5/20 11:53am

Klompus squeezing his G5 agenda into any post

Lip Gallagher

2/5/20 11:02am

And your argument against the number facts and numbers? BYU is in the worst spot

Klompus

2/5/20 11:13am

No one cares who wins the AAC. Or MWC. Sorry, but it's true.

Turnpike Lane

2/5/20 11:25am

Apparently kids do who decided to go to Cinci, UCF, and Boise (all ranked better than us).

TheLoneCougar

2/5/20 11:35am

haha! This.

Klompus

2/5/20 11:59am

Did you ask them if that is why they chose bad schools

travelcoug

2/5/20 5:10pm

I certainly did not, it isn't about the school but the football program.

TheLoneCougar

2/6/20 8:25am

No one cares who wins the PAC12. It does not mean much.

I certainly wasn't suggesting that paying more money has made Bronco's staff

ManicBlue

2/5/20 4:43pm

I agree with much of your assessment, particularly with the DC and S&C. I even

BYUlv

2/5/20 5:26pm

I'm encouraged by the improvement the offense made this year from the previous

ManicBlue

2/5/20 5:47pm

I hope your optimism about the offense is rewarded. I would love to see this

BYUlv

2/5/20 6:21pm

I counted 16 G5 teams with a better win-loss record last season than BYU but

cwilke1

2/5/20 11:04am

Where I will agree with you -

Klompus

2/5/20 11:17am

I wish people would forget joining the AAC. It's NOT a good option.

ManicBlue

2/5/20 11:37am

You keep saying that. Yet BYU almost joined the AAC. You know better?

JadedCougar

2/5/20 1:14pm

As a football only member, it could be remotely possible IF a bunch of other

ManicBlue

2/5/20 1:35pm

Well...the BCS existed for 16 years, 13 of those we were in the MWC and we never

SWP

2/5/20 1:22pm

You must be kidding.

Klompus

2/5/20 1:33pm

Well, BYU did go 60 years in a conference without winning a NC

StalwartBraveTrue

2/6/20 9:10am

Ha ha ha ha ha, well done

SWP

2/6/20 3:27pm

Most of that "bad luck" is self-inflicted wounds.

ReyOso

2/6/20 5:15pm

Whether self-inflicted or not, moving to G5 won't make it better.

SWP

2/6/20 6:05pm

Well that just defunct the entire OP

ColonelMustard

2/5/20 3:28pm

C'mon ... of those rankings the only one that stands out is Cincy. The rest are

ManicBlue

2/5/20 11:36am

BSU has passed up BYU in terms of recruiting. Honor Code and academic standards need to be taken into account.

TheLoneCougar

2/5/20 11:38am

The thing is - BYU is recruiting this “well” despite mediocre/poor seasons.

sunjieming

2/5/20 12:22pm

average of around 80 is "well". You and I have very difference expectations.

Klompus

2/5/20 12:29pm

It’s absolutely poor but it would be way worse with a 5-loss season in G5 imo

sunjieming

2/5/20 12:46pm

Winning solves a lot of ills. But not all of this can be thrown at Indy.

StalwartBraveTrue

2/5/20 12:25pm

Rivals has BYU ahead of Boise

AZcougLawyer

2/5/20 1:32pm

What were BYU's recruiting rankings the five years before indy? I realize

mrphotogenic

2/5/20 2:09pm

Sad thing the year Heaps signed ... 3 of our top 4 recruits didn't pan out

ManicBlue

2/5/20 2:30pm

For sure. But haven't BYU's recruiting rankings been about the same since

mrphotogenic

2/5/20 2:32pm

not really but it'd be really interesting to rank the classes in retrospect

ManicBlue

2/5/20 2:35pm

You're being too generous. We were only 79th

kooogar

2/5/20 2:43pm

Hate to break it to you, but Cincy went 4-8 in back to back years in 2016 and 2017

slatecoug

2/5/20 2:50pm

What’s our ranking based on average star ranking rather than overall?

D.T. Survivor

2/5/20 3:06pm

89th right now. Shows us at 75 with 14 G5 schools

kooogar

2/5/20 3:11pm

Ouch! How does that compare to previous years?

D.T. Survivor

2/5/20 3:16pm

That implies BYU's coaching is above average, apart from recruiting.

ReyOso

2/5/20 3:42pm

we are actually behind 22 G5 schools, some are ranked higher than 75

kooogar

2/5/20 5:43pm

The subjective difference between 65 and 72 is the dumbest thing in the world to

YbeatsU

2/5/20 3:49pm

Two words: Honor. Code.

jkccoug

2/5/20 4:00pm

did we not have an honor code from 2006 to 2010, when our #'s were much better?

Klompus

2/5/20 4:43pm

We did not have both an Honor Code and Utah in the P12. My comment was referring

jkccoug

Winning is part of it

We used to win most of the LDS recruiting battles vs UT. Now the Utes do.

Where do you suppose BYU would be ranked if it was in a conference?

GatorCoug

2/5/20 9:54pm

What a nutty board! I'll grant that Cincy at 47 did better...but so many of you

Jasbo

Actually, it's worse than that...the most current ranking put's them at 78
