Why can’t we recruit just the best LDS talent? mixed with some nonmembers

That’s how we would get to the 2nd tier. We can try but likely won’t get there all the way as long as KW is at Utah.

Utah beats Oregon and USC regularly not because they are better athletes

SoCal has been a mix of bad coaching and poor overall team recruiting for well

You think Utah out recruits Southern California? Look at recruiting polls
