That's been the BYU way since LaVell became coach in 1972.

We'll still recruit "under the radar 3-star" kids from high school and to your point mine the FCS schools for "proven" talent too.)

LaVell did that with the JUCO's (especially Ricks) & I imagine we'll continue to recruit JUCO's moving forward.

For "continuation" high school recruiting (3 stars) will still be the main focus of this staff.

I’d take him in a heart beat, was a 3 star 84 ranking out of St. john Bosco

This kid is legit. Weber's best cornerback as just a true freshman. I know a lot

BYU fans are not tired of Eddie Heckard's, Jack Kelly's and Marque Collins

We'll keep taking the best players from FCS teams around the state. Robinson

Haha. Wasn’t Robinson a transfer from Utah St? I mean pretty much FCS

Thanks for getting the joke!

Such an advantage to have some good fcs and G5 programs as proving grounds for talent that wants to stay close to home

I see ute trolls still on here making fun of BYU for taking FCS talent...

But are we? There may be a vocal minority, but I think most have loved the FCS

With the change in transfer rules & the portal FCS may have replaced

Agreed. BYU uniquely positioned as well with solid talent undervalued nationally who like to stay close to home

With reports that P4/G6 transfers are demanding serious $$$$$ FCS

It seems to be a portfolio play and the winners will be those who build the right culture and balance. Calipari had

We're definitely not going to land the "I want $1 million as a transfer"

BYU has some unique advantages, including some nascent partnerships that can generate revenue share and NIL

I’m still not sure why so many on CB would rather us offer P4 players who didnt

Yep, it's all about trajectory. I'll take the ones on their way up.

I'd guess the good FCS programs have a dozen or more kids that can play FBS.

FCS are the new JUCO's. I argue it'd be wise to mine both for hidden talent.

gopman

Dec 22, 10:13pm

Moneyball! In many cases it will be more proven talent than those coming out of high school. AKA Kelly, etc.
