It’s fun to see LDS players as well as local Utah kids and those with family ties to BYU have success in college and beyond. Would love to see more of that.

Man, really feels like we'll never land another blue-chip LDS QB.

Sep 30, 5:28pm

And that is probably due to $$

Alert: I do not understand this. Are LDS QBs more expensive? or are you saying

RoboKayne

Sep 30, 7:29pm

The latter

Unless…well…I guess I can’t say it because we’re 5-0

Maybe we can monopolize the blue chip Jewish QB market tho

A very, very small pool

Our recruiting losses and misses are more of an indictment on ARod than his

Garn

i see no indictment necessary on ARod

WallaX2

We made his final 8, FWIW.

RoboKayne

Sep 30, 7:36pm

what about the other like 10+ qb’s he’s whiffed on? Arod is a horrible recruiter

…and a mid to sub-par OC

OldFogey

He has put several QBs into the NFL. Hard to see why it's an indictment on Arod.

Depending on what blue-chip means, that's not really such a bad thing. Our high

Yeah, I don't really care if we get blue-chips or not, but looking at the QB

Jake is 5-0, FYI. Jake is in the QB room.

NYC and Japan

I wasn't a believer, but he is having a pretty good season

Jericho

Sep 30, 8:37pm

Agreed. Nice to have top recruits but most haven’t panned out

Blue Heart

Sep 30, 8:53pm

Not with this staff.

byuTX

Sep 30, 5:43pm

They are getting insane NIL money

Jericho

Sep 30, 6:05pm

Wouldn't surprise me. His dad works for an agency that negotiates NIL deals for

If there are 4 blue chip LDS QBs, at least one will transfer to BYU

Reasonable1

Sep 30, 11:42pm

Not to a Big12 team, which isn’t much, but it’s something.

Again? Oh…nvm... Boardname checks out.

didn't he grow up a byu fan?

jwf

Sep 30, 6:17pm

I think this one will 100% come down to nil $.

Dryfire

Sep 30, 7:53pm

Yup. Solely a business decision for him (and most kids these days). I understand, but it sucks.

RootieBoy

Sep 30, 9:11pm

BYU BB proves money is no longer a barrier. Booster support is the issue.

ROI in basketball is always going to be better than in football

Blue Heart

Sep 30, 9:49pm

We need to add a QB coach with gravitas if for no other reason than recruiting

Lombardi

Sep 30, 7:51pm

Ask yourselves this, is it a smart use of NIL resources to dump an insane amount

Dryfire

Sep 30, 8:08pm

Next class, but if we can get Lyons, I'll feel better then

BackPacker

Sep 30, 8:09pm

Same class unless Helaman graduates early. Both 2026.

Cougstreak

Sep 30, 8:47pm

Oh ok. Well... Probably rather still have Lyons.

BackPacker

Sep 30, 9:37pm

2026? There’s still plenty of time to recruit him.

Magneto

Sep 30, 8:33pm

He is not as an army.

cajuncoug

Sep 30, 9:16pm

Didn't KS just say we will never compete for talent based on NIL $

Hinta

Sep 30, 9:46pm

He said we don’t recruit based on NIL promises

According to family, BYU hasn’t reached out to Helaman in over a year.

USOblue

Sep 30, 10:11pm

If that’s really true, there would have to be a reason why…

Refugee

Sep 30, 10:34pm

This is true, BYU stopped recruiting him long ago

palangi

Sep 30, 11:31pm

How the heck does a guy named Helaman not sign with BYU?!

Veep

Sep 30, 10:33pm

There's a lot of LDS FB players but only 1 BYU. Also.. there's plenty of them that are given offers at other major..

greatbam

Sep 30, 11:16pm

But his name is helaman

Veep

“Missed”…for now. Just like we “missed” on Kingsley, Puka, Samson, Taysom, etc
