with checkered pasts that because of same are not highly rated. They will also attract more African American athletes for Academic, HC, religion, cultural fit type reasons.

If you list all of the returned missionary types that played in the NFL, you will see that the LDS recruiting pool is only putting in a few NFL players and many of the LDS that do make it either had academic or other issues known to have kept them out of BYU or chose a more prestigious school like ND, USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, etc., or P5 school like Utah.

List every recruit that BYU and USU both offered that chose USU over BYU. It is extremely rare.

Kalsni is offering more kids that are not the typical BYU mold. He might even get some. Then the trick becomes keeping them in school. BYU gets nailed with a few every year. Major scandal once in a while. Bronco was tasked to not let another scandal happen. Most remember the Croton years scandal. Some may remember the smaller scandal under Edwards where we lost 5 defensive starters right before playing UCLA in the Freedom Bowl. Gaston Green and Eric Ball ran wild through that defense. My friend played there under Hudspeth who recruited a bunch of ex marines. That was before the Internet and thus less known. A football groupie had voluntary sex with over a dozen players over time, eventually felt guilty, and turned herself and them into HC.
