In recent years BYU lost too many players to Utah, Stanford, USC, Virginia and other schools. They really need to start getting a higher percentage of the best LDS players.

As soon as Bob Bowlsby retires and publishes his memoirs, TNT is buying it

We've lost players to P5 that will follow the honor code.

TNT's philosphy has always been once BYU gets into an autonomous league

Disagree. In NCAA dynasty mode, I could fill an entire team with 5* players.

Understood. Thanks for the correction

If a player was considering BYU versus other P5 teams,

LDS players came to us before P5, not seeing an influx of non-LDS players after

But LDS players comparing us to other schools now will give us more

I know two kids (one to Stanford and one to Utah) who ruled out BYU from their final list due to P5 inclusion

BYU is not “G5 status.”

Only a BYU fan thinks this. We play in the potato bowl, Hawaii Bowl, etc if we have even one loss

WP17

That's not true. I don't see announcers and fanbases labeling BYU as G5

As someone already posted, how many times do people talk about us competing for a “G5 NY6 spot”

WP17

10/20/21 9:16am

You don’t understand what is considered G5 and what is considered P5. BYU is

Does it matter what the technicalities are? If you have to justify it to a recruit you aren’t P5.

WP17

10/20/21 9:45am

For recruiting perceptions I agree with you however G5's have bowl access

Soy Celeste

10/20/21 9:50am

Yes, and thankfully our debate here is irrelevant now. Recruits know they’ll be playing for Big12 titles

There are plenty of good kids that would embrace the honor code. It’s not just

I hope Holmoe writes a tell all book someday so we can get more details about

Not sure he would ever comment on anything that might put BYU in a bad light

TNT

Legally I’m not sure he can talk about some of it from 2011

Never really cared what TNT believed.
