BYU Football branding, what do recruits think of BYU... it's not good

Having coaches stay in touch has nothing to do with being fiscally responsible. Talking to the Gentry family on Andrew'

Unfortunately this isn’t the case with just football- most sports at Byu do this

Sounds like Kalani is getting a Chief of Staff. Could be huge in freeing up his time.

Hot take, I think they rightfully prioritized other players over Gentry.

At BYU you should recruit every talented 4 star player you can get regardless of position. Not to mention this is not

I really like his tape. He is going to be a good one wherever he goes.

I would love to see a distribution of responses for BYU. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bimodal distribution...

Some logic behind this - we generally beat Utah in head-to-head recruiting battles...

Typically equal head to head when they were P5 and we were independent.

VERY GOOD POINT. EVERYONE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS A VALID REASON

Which says something about the job coaches have done. I’m not worried about it

You are not worried about it? Funny as all I heard from coaches last year was we couldn't play defense the way

Agree with the sentiment, I think that's overstating that websites value though. Eg: they have 3 reviews

The N/A is because BYU is new to the P5 designation so there is no 4 yr average

You're assuming each recruit only visits/reviews one school?

I don’t get it. The chart posts a Brand rating and a recruiting rating.

brand rating is separate, if you read the article it says how the brand rating
