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

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
