You keep saying that. Yet BYU almost joined the AAC. You know better?

With 2020 Recruiting class wrapping up, here's how BYU fared vs G5's -

I feel like a bunch of our recruits are under-recruited

Every fanbase feels this way to some extent. If I hop on a Houston board, I'll

Of course you do.

What is your solution? This is an honest question.

Oh I guess you do not know Klompus -he wants to join a G5 conference and reduce

It's not the worst idea in the world, although there are obvious drawbacks.
ReyOso
2/5/20 11:05am
BYU in the MWC would improve the MWC, but its far from certain that that
cwilke1

You might be right, it's hard to say.
ReyOso
2/5/20 11:10am
The AAC is better than the MWC in every metric and has been for years.
Klompus
2/5/20 11:11am
Post-BYU reentering and BYU strengthening its program, would it still be?
ReyOso
2/5/20 11:56am
There is a pretty significat gap. Consider that the AAC West was rated higher
Klompus
2/5/20 12:08pm
Transfer portal might help move talent from the top schools.

And your argument against the number facts and numbers? BYU is in the worst spot
Klompus
2/5/20 11:13am
No one cares who wins the AAC. Or MWC. Sorry, but it's true.

Apparently kids do who decided to go to Cinci, UCF, and Boise (all ranked better than us).

haha! This.
Klompus
2/5/20 11:59am
Did you ask them if that is why they chose bad schools
travelcoug
2/5/20 5:10pm
I certainly did not, it isn't about the school but the football program.

No one cares who wins the PAC12. It does not mean much.

I hope your optimism about the offense is rewarded. I would love to see this

I counted 16 G5 teams with a better win-loss record last season than BYU but

Where I will agree with you -

I wish people would forget joining the AAC. It's NOT a good option.

You must be kidding.
Klompus
2/5/20 1:33pm
Well, BYU did go 60 years in a conference without winning a NC
StalwartBraveTrue

Ha ha ha ha ha, well done
SWP
2/6/20 3:27pm
Most of that "bad luck" is self-inflicted wounds.
ReyOso
2/6/20 5:15pm
Whether self-inflicted or not, moving to G5 won't make it better.
SWP
2/6/20 6:05pm
Well that just defunct the entire OP

C'mon ... of those rankings the only one that stands out is Cincy. The rest are

BSU has passed up BYU in terms of recruiting. Honor Code and academic standards need to be taken into account.
TheLoneCougar
2/5/20 11:38am
The thing is - BYU is recruiting this “well” despite mediocre/poor seasons.
sunjieming
2/5/20 12:22pm
average of around 80 is "well". You and I have very difference expectations.
Klompus
2/5/20 12:29pm
It’s absolutely poor but it would be way worse with a 5-loss season in G5 imo
sunjieming
2/5/20 12:46pm
Winning solves a lot of ills. But not all of this can be thrown at Indy.
StalwartBraveTrue
2/5/20 12:25pm
Rivals has BYU ahead of Boise

". . . out of the G5 group." Watch the language. 😉

What were BYU's recruiting rankings the five years before indy? I realize

Sad thing the year Heaps signed ... 3 of our top 4 recruits didn't pan out
ManicBlue
2/5/20 2:30pm
For sure. But haven't BYU's recruiting rankings been about the same since
mrphotogenic
2/5/20 2:32pm
not really but it'd be really interesting to rank the classes in retrospect
ManicBlue
2/5/20 2:35pm
You're being too generous. We were only 79th
kooogar
2/5/20 2:43pm
Hate to break it to you, but Cincy went 4-8 in back to back years in 2016 and 2017
slatecoug
2/5/20 2:50pm
What’s our ranking based on average star ranking rather than overall?
D.T. Survivor
2/5/20 3:06pm
89th right now. Shows us at 75 with 14 G5 schools
kooogar
2/5/20 3:11pm
Ouch! How does that compare to previous years?
D.T. Survivor
2/5/20 3:16pm
That implies BYU's coaching is above average, apart from recruiting.
ReyOso
2/5/20 3:42pm
we are actually behind 22 G5 schools, some are ranked higher than 75

Two words: Honor. Code.

did we not have an honor code from 2006 to 2010, when our #'s were much better?
Klompus

We did not have both an Honor Code and Utah in the P12. My comment was referring
