You out yourself as a Ute when you make comments like this.

That's just factual - BYUs recruiting rank has gone WAY down in the last decade

krindorr

Team rankings are a horrible way to look at recruiting for teams outside the top

You keep telling me I'm wrong, but keep providing zero evidence to back that up

There is a type of national player that would choose a place like BYU..

That pitch will land us top LDS recruits, supposedly.

Third...and most important of all, BYU needs to recruit a whole heck of a lot

And this isn't happening as a member of the AAC or MWC.

You're chances of getting into the playoffs as a member of the AAC increase significantly...

And your dream season is to play games that virtually mean nothing... get left out and play in the Independence Bowl?

BYU's recruiting tanked when they went Independent....

No, it didn't, at all.

Yep, which is mostly Bronco having a hard time getting non-Crowton recruits
