Wrong again, check Utah's rankings on Rivals and Scout for the last few years...
they're better, on average, by about 15 spots.

After watching the draft, I'm even more convinced that Bronco needs to get some

There is a problem getting guys to the NFL, but I have no idea where to point

Watching FCS players get drafted and so far not 1 BYU kid...

Seeing FCS kids get drafted isn't troubling at all.

So, you think it's a recruiting issue?
newey-west
5/2/15 3:47pm
I think it is both a recruiting issue and a development issue.
kudzucoug
5/2/15 3:57pm
Both of those issues directly point to the coaching staff.

Blame President Worthen. The players have no responsibility to get themselves

No, but the either/or dichotomy is wrong here and a waste of energy
Bob Vance

Why is the dichotomy wrong? After putting Ziggy into the NFL, Bronco changed his

Because "lazy and unmotivated" is not the only other option to "don't develop
Bob Vance

Okay, so you think it's recruiting.
newey-west
5/2/15 4:16pm
Hey, look at that, another possibility jumps into the option matrix
Bob Vance
5/2/15 4:19pm
It's not either/or thinking.
newey-west
5/2/15 4:55pm
Bronco didnt put Ziggy in the NFL, Ziggy did with his freak athleticism.
CougarWarrior
5/2/15 6:31pm
Bronco taught him the basics and he recognized that Ziggy had potential.
newey-west
5/2/15 6:35pm
When did he recognize his potential? When he didn't play him until he had too?
CougarWarrior
5/2/15 8:23pm
Well, he let him on the team.
newey-west
5/2/15 8:25pm
He also lets on crappy players. That doesnt prove your point.
CougarWarrior
5/2/15 11:05pm
Best part about Ziggy is that it was an Elder who scouted him.

You think BYU should be putting out more? Whats your justification if so?

Comparables with BYU?

Utah isn't comparable I dont think - the "Honor Code" they have is a joke and
BYUfan92
5/2/15 10:03pm
Though its not everything, I think missions hold a lot of the blame
WhiteKnight
5/2/15 3:57pm
Sure, BYU has some institutional features that make things a little challenging.
newey-west
5/2/15 4:02pm
they do get some, but I'd rather have a 21 yr old
SUAVO
5/2/15 4:09pm
Agreed. Bronco did just make some changes to his redshirt policy.
newey-west
5/2/15 4:10pm
For context, Notre Dame had one player drafted. One.
BostonCougar
5/2/15 3:55pm
How many ND players have been drafted in the last 5 years?

The answer is 20.

It's not about this year; it's a fairly well established theme.

Zach Morris

Or you could look at what the NFL wants and see if it matches up to what BYU has
BYUfan92

False. During the Crowton era BYU had the 2nd most players in the NFL

There has been no fall off in the recruiting of tallent.

Seriously? 2 in 5 years when BYU's recruiting rankings are identical to

5/2/15 7:22pm
2 years? That is not a really meaningfull statistic
PolarisPrime

2 players picked in 5 years. It's meaningful.

You don't think that players playing better equates to more wins?

No. I think the NFL sees talent whether the team is good or bad.

Do you think that this will impact Freeze's ability to recruit?
