for non LDS recruits as well.

In terms of trying to land "under the radar 3-star" non-LDS recruits Boise State is our biggest competitor. P4 schools have the transfer portal & 4-5 star recruits all to themselves thanks to NIL.

Does that overpower your BYU FB fandom?

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.

Colorado

Very minimal if any

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

I strongly disagree. Many of our recruits (LDS & non-LDS)

The 3 examples you have given all ended up ay byu. Now with NIL BYU will lose

Go back & look at 247 & Rivals the last 20 years & you'll see us

They are not going the way of Nebraska they are in the new pac 12 and will

Utah and now ASU. And any big 10 and sec team if they are deemed far superior to

johnnybyu

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

johnnybyu

1:08pm

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

Please name the top 5 players that spurned byu for Boise? That is going to

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

USC as well again our biggest concern is the big10 and SEC separating not

Let’s hear examples and saying Boise is a recruiting competitor does not

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

Those 3 all played at byu. Do you want to add Tanner Mangum?

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

Does Boise State have a record of offering many of the same 3-star guys we

You provided one example from 10 years ago. That is what minor means

Who cares? We care. I stated earlier that we've won some battles & lost

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

Jimo Dashen

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
