I'd put Teo third on that list.

Definitely no higher than #2--despite the national awards. A lot of that was his

His awards influenced that ranking more than anything.

That's definitely fair-thinking.

How many of these are mission kids? I believe a lot don't choose BYU because

I believe you are right. I wondered the same thing.

Manti's college girlfriend would disagree with you

Pretty sure Hunter Dimmick wasn't LDS--even though we recruited him hard.

Edited. For some reason I thought I had read that Dimick was

Great work, thanks for listing for general knowledge.

Also, Iupati wasn't converted until after he got to college, IIRC

How is Chase Hansen so high? Also, Quinn Bailey needs to be on there.

Lip Gallagher

4/24/17 5:43pm

Didn't know Quinn Bailey was LDS. I'll add him to the list.

robin

If you're including kickers/punters

Bailey was a huge fail by Bronco.

Lip Gallagher

4/24/17 6:47pm

Pretty sure Eric Weddle should be #1 on that list.

Cheap Seats

4/24/17 8:20pm

I wouldn't include Weddle, because he wasn't LDS when he was being recruited I

That could be. Im not aware of his conversion story, just that he's had a great

I believe there's also Chandler Cox at Auburn.

Lip Gallagher

Hau'oli Jamora should be very high on the list

Great catch

Are Dallas Lloyd and Dalton Schultz LDS?

mitchwhite221

4/24/17 6:30pm

Lloyd is, Schultz is not

tcherrin

4/24/17 7:01pm

Dallas served a mission & went to Pleasant Grove not Bingham. Fun fact is he's married to Blaine Fowler's daughter.

I propose public shaming at the next General Conference for this list

LeftCoastCoug

4/24/17 6:34pm

We should consult w/ Teo on how to do it most effectively.

mantis mutu

4/24/17 6:41pm

Jose Portilla should be somewhere

Modiolus

4/24/17 6:37pm

OK, post Lavell...got it.

Modiolus

4/24/17 6:39pm

Iupati is LDS? Didn't know that. He was drafted early by SF right?

cougaman

4/24/17 6:58pm

Was Zane Beadles LDS? I was under the impression that he wasn't.

cougaman

4/24/17 6:59pm

I guess not. I thought he was, but per his Twitter:

Fantastic Job!

If BYU actually landed all of these LDS players, would they have made playoffs?

College wise he might have been. He was the defensive leader of a team that went

Agreed Haloti was a much bigger NFL prospect but Manti was the most

Yeah, it looks like the Vigils are not LDS, though it seems BYU did recruit Zach

I don't have anything to say other than great job. That was interesting to see.

Amazing list. Does Leavitt really belong on it....

BabyOx

4/24/17 9:47pm

To be fair, I made him last on the list

robin

4/24/17 11:20pm

Not counting the recent recruits, based off the gap in playing years, 18% go on

CougarAndMerlin

4/24/17 10:30pm

You have a lot of Polys on the list that aren't LDS.
