Correct me if I'm wrong, but BYU is just going back to the Lavell era

If he wasn't a member, BYU wouldn't be in his top. Even during Bronco's

But he is a member and that is good enough for me. If we can get these highly

Walker Lyons and Hunter Clegg have similar top 7 or 8s. They're big time players

Whats the appeal of Arizona for a kid who’s also considering BYU?

GlutealGuy

He’s from Arizona. Goes to Mountain View in Mesa.

Arizona is quietly having pretty good recruiting success - lots of buzz

Still I thought their main pitch was being a great place for the Gronks of cfb

BYU is clawing out of the Mendenhall mess.

Don't know why someone thumbs downed you. It's true. Recruiting under Bronco

There are still plenty of Bronco cultists hanging around this board.

Backcountry

5/13/22 11:58am

Maybe because they were consistently ranked higher than Kalani's classes. But why trust experts when we have resident

We've been having this same stupid debate for 15 years. Broncos classes may have

He sure wins a lot of games for a guy so terrible at everything.

vagabonder

He beat up on the dregs of the Mountain Worst with Crowtons recruits then

As a HS coach who dealt with recruiting from BYU and all the other programs

Adwight

In what way?

TNT

Will not offer a kid a scholarship unless they attend their camp.

Adwight

Ugh

We heard these stories for a decade and people still idolize the guy for some

Backcountry

5/13/22 1:21pm

Why don't you tell everyone why you really hate Bronco?

kimdaddy35

5/13/22 1:46pm

Well???? I mean you might as well put it out there to be intellectually honest.

kimdaddy35

5/13/22 2:23pm

Because he was not a good HC and he set BYU back a decade.

Backcountry

5/13/22 4:55pm

Just say you don't want to tell us the real reason if you don't. Don't lie about it.

kimdaddy35

5/13/22 5:17pm

What exactly are you insinuating?

Backcountry

5/13/22 5:59pm

What are you pretending not to know about?

kimdaddy35

5/14/22 1:28am

The Bronco cult is so bizarre. No idea what the crap you are talking about.

Backcountry

5/14/22 10:51am

LOL, funny as I have the proof that is not the case from the past. Maybe you just have selective amnesia.

Kalani is definitely a better recruiter no question, but Bronco was improving

When Bronco comes up Im gonna opine. He sucked. Glad he is gone.

Backcountry

Bronco is not even closed to being mentioned anywhere in the OP, but I'm not

The biggest improvement in our program since Mendenhall left is the OL imo. It

Windward_Coug

5/13/22 12:05pm

He completely neglected the OL. It was so confusing.

Bronco rescued BYU football FROM a mess. The numbers don't lie.

The HC also makes things easier.

P5 affiliation helps a ton.

BlooCoog

Is this really something that is changing? I think BYU always has and always

Tricky

5/13/22 12:42pm

This has nothing to do with BYU being elite and everything to do with being LDS

Bobmarleyjr

5/13/22 5:16pm

Only half right: being LDS and being in a P5.

Woohoo, we're listed in a 4*'s top seven. Elite territory for sure.
