If he were not going to go the NFL, in a heartbeat. If going to the NFL, yes,...
... but I would advise him to consider all of his options carefully.

if your son was expecting to play college football, would you recommend BYU?

If he was an average player, yes. If he was going to be a star, Yes but I also

Depends on his other options and how good he is

If he is barely making a D1 team, then yes. If he has realistic aspirations of competing a the highest level of college

How good is my kid? Development and putting guys in the league are not BYU

This is a better answer than mine. I'm not discounting the pros of the BYU education and experience. But,

BYU is not in the equation if your #1 priority is football

Wouldn’t push it but wouldn’t talk him out of it either

If my son isn’t a major recruit and doesn’t mind living the HC, sure, I’d have no problem

Much easier to say Yes when it’s a hypothetical.

Not sure I'd want to subject him to cougarboard.

LOL! All teams have psychotic message boards these days.

I don't read those ones. I wouldn't know what they were saying.

Depends on if he has goals to play in the NFL or not.

I think BYU could sell kids on NFL.

Too many variables to say for sure. I'd hope it all lined up but it might not.
Soupie

If BYU was the only offer sure. Or the best offer, absolutely.
ReggaeCoug
12/2/19 11:08am
Absolutely. His chance of going pro is like 1%, and BYU offers so much more than most schools.

The “life experience” is one of the reasons I would possibly encourage him to go elsewhere.
The Dude Abides
12/2/19 11:20am
I've gone out of state for school myself. So I guess maybe that is why I value what BYU offers more outside of footbal.

I'm sure I wouldn't want my kid to get the typical "life experiences" of a

I was thinking more along the lines of meeting people from different faiths and backgrounds. More diversity.

Okay, sounds reasonable. I find my kids who served missions have had a

Absolutely... D1 scholarships are hard to find, and BYU Is a great school...

12/2/19 11:13am
Way too many variables. Does my kid want to go? Are they active LDS?
PessimisticCB
12/2/19 11:14am
And what's the outlook for him and his position? Will he get PT? Is the team already loaded at his position?
Soupie
12/2/19 11:20am
Correct.
PessimisticCB
12/2/19 11:27am
Would depend on if he had NFL potential

You guys over simplify recruiting... its not Black & White.

Could your 'hypothetical' kid get into BYU without football?
TheLost
12/2/19 12:44pm
Good question. Let me ask him.
DraperCoug22
12/2/19 12:50pm
Yes

No. Would tell him to go to Utah.

I would tell him not to overlook BYU but I wouldn't push it on him either
