I’ve enjoyed listening to Mike Lacey’s Beyond the Game podcast.
He has interviews with lots of former BYU athletes. I was just listening to an episode with Scott Runia. He shares a great story with how he was recruited to BYU. He had verbally committed to Utah and was planning to go there along with Danny Vranes. However, after receiving a recruiting visit from Elder LeGrand Richards and Elder Marion G Hanks, he switched to BYU. I know there’s been lots of comments (mostly joking) on CB over the years that high profile athletes should be called to the BYU Provo Mission. In essence, this is what Elder Richards asked Runia to do, go to BYU and play four straight years.
Here’s a link to the podcast on YouTube. Recruiting story starts around 11:30.
