the guys that get offers from both BYU and boise go to BYU

BSU is a farm team for us, like Utah, USU, Snow, Weber, etc

Yet, they are the ones in the playoff…

Pretorian

If BYU were in a G6 conference they would have gotten an auto bid too

All true… and I can’t help be a little jealous

Don't be. We will have more chances

Boise will always be second choice for these kids. If we don’t have room for

We can’t expect to get recruits we don’t offer. That’s on us.

It wasn't just the fact that we didn't offer. Boise State was very

Doesn’t matter if we don’t offer

You're missing the point that Boise State is an attractive program

gopman

No you are. We have no reason to fear them.

Have you seen Iowa’s offense play. Not exactly the #1 spot for QBs.

He wanted to go to Utah (as bad as Iowa for QBs), but his best two offers

It took Kalani & Grimes to "mend some fences" with the Wilson's .

gopman

12/31/24 10:53pm

it took less than two weeks to flip him. That's pretty quick

and he went to a better program in the end…

Is it? Which program just went to the playoffs? Which one has an

MWC has the easiest path to the playoffs ever with this current system

Jericho

12/31/24 10:53pm

I’ve never ever and will never hear a recruit say that he chose BSU

Prepare to be disappointed.

I don’t have time for 10-15 years of preparation

You can’t compare Indy to B12. We have a bigger advantage now

Just like other teams across the country. They’re one step above Utah with

Nope. BYU offered 96 recruits a scholarship last year. 1 of those guys chose to go to BSU.

When they acquire mega donors then we pivot. Why wouldn't we? But for now, they aren't a worry.

HarlemCoug

12/31/24 11:04pm
