it's not a guarantee to success, but it it the key. For BYU...as well as for Alabama.
But in BYU's case--it's far more imperative that we get in their early w high-end recruits. Before Kalani it was far too often we arrived late to the party we were already barely welcome to. In such a scenario you don't even get to be a hat on the table.
Part of Bronco's problem (at least early on)--was if he wasn't gonna be the final selection I don't think he even wanted to be a hat on the table. But it really shouldn't require too much thought to determine why that is the wrong attitude entirely if you're really interested in landing a 4 or 5* recruit on occasion. Or have an easier time breaking ice w a 3* kid.
