Man, really feels like we'll never land another blue-chip LDS QB.

ebv

Sep 30, 5:28pm

And that is probably due to $$

NOCAL_YFAN

Sep 30, 5:29pm

Alert: I do not understand this. Are LDS QBs more expensive? or are you saying

RoboKayne

Sep 30, 7:29pm

The latter

AFcoug7

Sep 30, 9:01pm

Unless…well…I guess I can’t say it because we’re 5-0

Internet Explorer

Maybe we can monopolize the blue chip Jewish QB market tho

A very, very small pool

Our recruiting losses and misses are more of an indictment on ARod than his

Garn

Sep 30, 5:33pm

i see no indictment necessary on ARod

WallaX2

Sep 30, 6:04pm

We made his final 8, FWIW.

RoboKayne

Sep 30, 7:36pm

what about the other like 10+ qb’s he’s whiffed on? Arod is a horrible recruiter

Das_Countach

Sep 30, 9:15pm

…and a mid to sub-par OC

OldFogey

He has put several QBs into the NFL. Hard to see why it's an indictment on Arod.

Depending on what blue-chip means, that's not really such a bad thing. Our high

Yeah, I don't really care if we get blue-chips or not, but looking at the QB

Jake is 5-0, FYI. Jake is in the QB room.

NYC and Japan

Sep 30, 8:17pm

I wasn't a believer, but he is having a pretty good season

Jericho

Sep 30, 8:37pm

Agreed. Nice to have top recruits but most haven’t panned out

Blue Heart

Sep 30, 8:53pm

Not with this staff.

byuTX

Sep 30, 5:43pm

They are getting insane NIL money

Jericho

Sep 30, 6:05pm

Wouldn't surprise me. His dad works for an agency that negotiates NIL deals for

Dryfire

If there are 4 blue chip LDS QBs, at least one will transfer to BYU

Reasonable1

Sep 30, 11:42pm

Not to a Big12 team, which isn’t much, but it’s something.

Again? Oh…nvm... Boardname checks out.

didn't he grow up a byu fan?

jwf

Sep 30, 6:17pm

I think this one will 100% come down to nil $.

Dryfire

Sep 30, 7:53pm

Yup. Solely a business decision for him (and most kids these days). I understand, but it sucks.

RootieBoy

Sep 30, 9:11pm

BYU BB proves money is no longer a barrier. Booster support is the issue.

ROI in basketball is always going to be better than in football

Blue Heart

Sep 30, 9:49pm

We need to add a QB coach with gravitas if for no other reason than recruiting

Lombardi

Sep 30, 7:51pm

Ask yourselves this, is it a smart use of NIL resources to dump an insane amount

Dryfire

Sep 30, 8:08pm

Next class, but if we can get Lyons, I'll feel better then

BackPacker

Sep 30, 8:09pm

Same class unless Helaman graduates early. Both 2026.

Cougstreak

Sep 30, 8:47pm

Oh ok. Well... Probably rather still have Lyons.

BackPacker

Sep 30, 9:37pm

2026? There’s still plenty of time to recruit him.

Magneto

Sep 30, 8:33pm

He is not as an army.

cajuncoug

Sep 30, 9:16pm

Didn't KS just say we will never compete for talent based on NIL $

Hinta

Sep 30, 9:46pm

He said we don’t recruit based on NIL promises

kansascougar

I wish him well and success wherever he chooses

USOblue

If that’s really true, there would have to be a reason why…

Refugee

Sep 30, 10:34pm

This is true, BYU stopped recruiting him long ago

palangi

Sep 30, 11:31pm

How the heck does a guy named Helaman not sign with BYU?!

Veep

Sep 30, 10:33pm

There's a lot of LDS FB players but only 1 BYU. Also.. there's plenty of them that are given offers at other major..

greatbam

Sep 30, 11:16pm

But his name is helaman

Veep

“Missed”…for now. Just like we “missed” on Kingsley, Puka, Samson, Taysom, etc
