Walk-on
I'll give you this much; elite poly athletes who are lds
give BYU a 'look' because of the lds ties, but doubt there's any real consideration (Ex: Parker, Juarez, Mama).
Elite status tend to go to the elite schools.

I disagree. Some kids are not interested in BYU at all regardless of ethnicity.

Next step is to get a game in Hawaii AND California on the schedule every year

You want to go to Hawaii every year?

I meant 13 games, not 13 home games.

I would. With the new NCAA rules we can leverage

I actually meant a game against U of Hawai'i every year, and one IN California

By your logic, every member we don't get, regardless of ethnicity, is a miss

No doubt. I don't agree with his OP. I do agree with the statement above

It was reported by the church at one point in time that 60% of Tongans

So over 50% say they don't even want to identify as LDS but we think its a miss if they don't choose to attend BYU???

It's not a good point because there will always be a ton of both
southernfriedcougar

I agree with this. The OP made it sound like we should be getting every one
ColonelMustard7
4/29/16 3:09pm
I'm fine with that. But not getting all of them isn't necessarily a 'miss'

No, they aren't. Snap out of it.

Man, I misspelled Polynesian. Sorry everyone.

I concede that neither of us should have used the term "legitimate"

Nowhere did he hint just the ones that fit the mold.

Cravens had strong USC ties. Brynn and Jordan Cameron were Trojans and related.

True, but the Jordan went to USC. Grandpaps went to BYU too
