There’s a common thread with these schools—both are elite academic institutions

Frankly, I doubt BYU was ever a top choice. Seems like the kind of guy to pick Stanford or UCLA over BYU, too.

Plus Harbaugh is good at recruiting Mormons.

Boo!

I’m guessing the family isn’t thrilled that his bro is riding the bench…

The Y's Insider

Maybe. But his bro was in Kalani's 1st class — yet WASN'T recruited by Bronco.

His bro should probably play better then.

Recruiting his brother didn't help to get Andrew to commit

Some kids just won't come to BYU, it's no big deal

JOPE

Where is he serving at right now? Isn't he out right now?

rcbyufan

12/8/21 8:47am

Yes he’s currently on his mission

LyleLanley

Where is he serving?

Harbaugh recruited him on his mission? Ute fans will be all over this I'm sure.

IceCreamButt

12/8/21 8:47am

Totally fine if he reaches out to Harbaugh first

chago04

12/8/21 8:49am

Yeah I expect that to be the Ute line this time too. But if it was BYU....

IceCreamButt

12/8/21 9:01am

Not to some Utah fans.

Eddie

12/8/21 9:32am

Everybody recruited him on his mission. Harbaugh had good company.

HBCoug

12/8/21 9:19am

Ute fans will flip that his mission president's name is Jerry Harbaugh

Tricky

12/8/21 9:27am

Maybe Bronco wasn't the problem after all?

Indy Coug

His mission president needs to be taken to task. What good is the mission

Meh. We got Kingsley (who was technically a better recruit)

It was a HUGE coup for us, no doubt.

I think Kingsley looks like a long-limbed Tackle.

SinkingQuffa

12/8/21 9:45am

To follow up it's entirely possible BYU didn't have a spot for him BUT

RockyBalboa

12/8/21 8:48am

He could have been part of a truly epic BYU oline with Kingsley S and

Big12Yfan

12/8/21 8:48am

Kingsley very well pushes Freeland to RT (where he was last season)

SinkingQuffa

12/8/21 8:57am

Tysen Lewis and Dylan Rollins look like great prospects as well

Harbaugh: "Elder Gentry, I have always wondered about life after death, could you tell me more?"

Unibro

12/8/21 8:57am

Bummer for BYU, but may be good for the church in general. He'll be living in

Benfica1

12/8/21 9:03am

So he can discuss college commits with coaches while on his mission?

coldcoug

12/8/21 9:08am

That bugs me

LyleLanley

12/8/21 10:21am

Guys maybe he didn’t hear on his mission that BYU is in the Big 12 now SOMEBODY TELL HIM

Isn't Gentry 6'8? I didn't expect Harbaugh to be that tall

Polemic

12/8/21 9:17am

I thought he was only 6'5.

SinkingQuffa

12/8/21 9:31am

6'8 according to 247sports but those are known to be embellished sometimes

Polemic

12/8/21 9:39am

I was going off memory. So I'll accept that as proving my memory wrong.

SinkingQuffa

12/8/21 9:46am

You just know Harbaugh has on Walmart khakis in the picture.

crack

12/8/21 9:23am

At first glance, I thought "Gentry's dad looks a bit like Jim Harbaugh..."

Tricky

12/8/21 9:28am

Bronco must have recruited him to Michigan. He must be stopped!

There’s a common thread with these schools—both are elite academic institutions

reddead

12/8/21 9:48am

While both UVa and UM are elite academic institutions, UVa is more moderate

Srg

12/8/21 10:30am

I think for many that's really not a huge concern. Just a backdrop to adjust to.

SinkingQuffa

12/8/21 10:32am

Agreed. All of academia is pretty left, but Michigan and Cal lead the charge

reddead

12/8/21 10:34am

Shawn Nua must be stopped!

YSMACK

I’m really glad he’s concentrating on his mission.
