I'll add USC. The four schools we've competed against in the last

20 years for LDS recruits (including Polynesians) & non-LDS three star-under the radar recruits (this is especially where Boise State comes in) are Utah, Boise State, Oregon (have killed us in recruiting Polynesians thanks to Nike $$$$) & USC (in that order).

Recruiting gurus would agree with this analysis.

There is some but not that much crossover in recruiting. It is not like Utah and

I don't think BSU winning will have any effect on our recruiting.

Very minimal if any

Agree. Our rivals for top LDS rivals, are other P4s.

Utah yes. You forgot BSU. One can say Oregon as well.

gopman

1:06pm

Yes Oregon which is why we don’t want big 10 teams winning

ASU is NOT in top three. BSU is. Go ask the experts.

I provided three examples of Zach Wilson, Jamaal Williams & Cravens.

Cravens played at Boise State before transferring to BYU. Does

If they were a major competitor, you could list multiple contributors we lost.

Major does not mean minor which your examples are showing

In my experience BSU are about on par with Wyoming fans. That's why I want them to lose.

LDS athletes are going to a ton of places other than Utah, USU, and Boise.

I hope BSU loses by 50

I think the narrative that the B1G and SEC are far superior to anyone else is worse by far for BYU than any minor
