Were RM. Rob Morris, John Tait, Ryan Denny, etc.The ones with most success too like Gabe Reid, Dan Sorensen, Taysom Hill.
Although non-RM are over represented in the draft for BYU.

Don't all of our players already do two years of full-time football training on their missions?

I sure hope so; that said, I think most people already understand what it takes

I think the difference is commitment

Fair enough. But my point is that many of these players already are committed

Also, Zach Wilson had natural ability that was apparent as a freshman, but yeah

But Zach struggled in 2019. Struggled against Utah, Toledo.....then against...

A broken thumb and shoulder surgery recovery will do that to you.

He didn't struggle against Utah as a frosh, well, not in the first half at least

Sale

He did as a Sophomore though.

WJCougar

while he wasn't healthy and had missed a full offseason.

Wasn’t that considered Utah’s best team ever???

Many many many freshmen look pretty good and don’t develop like Zach did...

He looked as good as any freshman QB that I can remember at BYU, however.

Belboz

Better then Mangum or Heaps... they both had very strong initial showings...

It’s the same with youth sports. Now if you’re not playing club you’re behind

Not really true. Once you get to high school that stuff mostly doesn't matter.

I think it also reflects on the coaches. Want to put kids in the NFL. Need

Those who have read “outliers“ know it’s 10,000 hours of laser focused practice

Criddle has talked about this a couple of times and I think it's real.

If I was really competitive I would do whatever I could because Only chance

Bobmarleyjr

One more question, why do you think a mission wasn't a commandment until

oldrugger

3/7/21 1:38pm

I always considered it encouragement but nothing similar to Benson in 87.
