Well, I have been saying Stanford was the leader for CC.

If that's the vibe even before his OV, that's bad news

LiveCoug

10/27/21 3:23pm

Didn't he have his OV already?

RGGeemer

10/27/21 3:25pm

Not yet to Utah?

Oh, got it

Utah visit is this weekend.

kansascougar

10/27/21 5:18pm

His heart is Utah, his head is BYU. Otherwise BYU would not be on his list. Fam

How big of a Utah family can they be if his sister is at BYU?

Social Distance

Sports vs education is absolutely a thing

RGGeemer

10/27/21 3:25pm

And both are better at BYU. B12>P12.

valcorger

10/27/21 3:34pm

This. For real. P12 is a knock against Utah now, not an advantage.

I know a large number of Ute fans that want their daughters to go to Y.

Bluforever

10/27/21 3:32pm

And their sons to also go to the Y?

Social Distance

10/27/21 3:34pm

Not near as much

Bluforever

10/27/21 5:51pm

So they have better chances of marrying a young man more likely to be successful?

Yes. And religious.

Haha, that describes almost all of the Utah families in my ward. Big Utah fans but send their kids to BYU whenever they

I have heard as well it is likely BYU or Utah with Utah still being in the driver's seat

kimdaddy35

10/27/21 3:34pm

And if he chooses Utah hopefully BYU fans will remember that we may have another

Tricky

10/27/21 5:52pm

I heard Oregon was still in the mix as of last week

Captain Stubing

10/27/21 3:39pm

Do good bball commits typically commit as Jr or Sr? He is a Sr, right?

Plato

10/27/21 3:40pm

he is a top 30 national recruit - football commits seem to come earlier.

Captain Stubing

10/27/21 3:42pm

If playing in the P12 is a draw I wonder what he thinks about

CougarCanuck76

10/27/21 3:45pm

From his comments he doesn't seem to distinguish much between the two

krindorr

10/27/21 6:24pm

I already told you that was old news

CougarCanuck76

10/27/21 3:47pm

Don’t know where you get your info. Stanford was in the mix up until late this

kansascougar

10/27/21 3:59pm

Any ideas of what can be done to sabotage his visit to Utah this weekend?

Kavorka

10/27/21 3:48pm

Have you seen the crowds at the Huntsman center? utah will do just fine sabotaging his visit. May not matter though.

Sometimes I wonder why mission first kids commit to anyone pre-mission…

lbmango

10/27/21 3:51pm

It gives them attention to announce a school.

Big12 is WAAAAAAY better than 12pack.

SoValleyCOUG

10/27/21 4:01pm

Which conference has more players drafted to the NBA annually

Srg

10/27/21 5:13pm

I have no idea. I'm guessing top 20 teams have the most drafted.

SoValleyCOUG

10/27/21 6:10pm

I'd guess Big12 gets more drafted (per school) than PAC 12. But Utah gets more drafted than BYU

krindorr

10/27/21 6:25pm

Yeah as a wcc member byu has fewer guys drafted

BYU '80

10/27/21 7:35pm

Went and looked at it - turns out it's actually the PAC12 gets more players drafted (per team). Unexpected

krindorr

10/28/21 10:03am

It seems that everybody focuses on the traditional factors for choosing a school

bob falfa

NLI would probably the #1 on my list as a HS student.

jvquarterback

10/27/21 4:56pm

I don't understand why playing in the P12 is a draw. Is it geography?

Ham

10/27/21 4:54pm

yeah Cougarboard broke that story days ago

icecougar

10/27/21 5:35pm

Yeah, Stanford was in the mix as of Sunday

kansascougar

What I heard yesterday as well.

Tuskaloosa Cougar

I thought he was a mission first kid?

LiveCoug

10/27/21 7:38pm

That’s the plan right now.

kansascougar

10/27/21 7:42pm

Then it shouldn't matter if BYU isn't in B12 next year

LiveCoug

10/27/21 7:44pm

Read the post again and make some assumptions on what if BYU was in the Big XII

kansascougar

The comment about PAC 12 being a bigger draw.. Was that from the family or your

slccoug

10/27/21 6:44pm

4 of the 16 sweet 16 teams from last year were PAC-12. One from the Big XII

kansascougar

2/4 of the Final Four teams will be in the Big 12 with BYU.

Agreed. It will be a great conference. Just pointing that acting like the

kansascougar

10/30/21 7:26am

The PAC12 gets more players drafted than the Big 12. For a lot of kids, being drafted is the goal

At the end of the day Coach Pope and staff did everything right
