Looks like we're only pulling defensive players from the top prospects in Utah.

Ah yes, noted defensive lineman and BYU commit Austin Pay.

Sorry I was meaning skill positions. Was in a hurry. But that's only one. No

Well Jay Hill vs ARod

TNT

Mar 31, 8:15am

You do realize ARod got a 4 star wide receiver in this class, right?

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:16am

The topic was in state recruiting battles. Hoping Utah isn't becoming like Arizo

Undefeated

Mar 31, 8:22am

There was only 1 skill player in Utah in the top 10. 5 star Jerome Myles.

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:25am

Did I say top 10? Did I bring arod into it? Was I hand wringing? No. I brought

Undefeated

Mar 31, 8:30am

We have an excellent chance to get 6 of the top 10 in state recruits for '26.

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:46am

Agree with all that. My response to your response to TNT however said nothing

Undefeated

Mar 31, 8:50am

If they’re not a top 10-15 recruit they’re usually not worth offering

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 8:52am

Iirr, historically we've had a lot of studs from in-state that weren't top 15.

Undefeated

Mar 31, 9:01am

I guess my point is it becomes pretty iffy at that point

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 11:11am

Well and lots of top 15 guys flame out and don't make it as well. Look back

Undefeated

Mar 31, 1:48pm

So you’ll only give ARod kudos if he gets 1) Offensive 2) Skill Players 3) from

I never said anything about A-Rod or dumping on him or kudos. I made a corrected

Fair enough. Looked at the 247 list and 8 of the top 13 in-state recruits are…

If Im ranking coaches recruiting ability, Hill is a high 4* & Arod is a low 3*

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 10:00am

ARods list actually looks pretty similar

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 11:20am

This is correct

I'mBatman

Mar 31, 12:03pm

The difference is that Arod has his position coaches more involved

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 12:12pm

Transitioning into a narrative because the data doesn't support your argument.

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 12:36pm

Fight! Fight! Fight!

TNT

Mar 31, 1:13pm

Bro, let's look at 4*+ talent on both offense and defense since 2023...

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 2:57pm

Well your data isn’t accurate so it hardly blows up the narrative

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 6:06pm

lol, LJ, that Unga recruited? And Madsen will be 95% LB 5% RB, if at all

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 8:12pm

...also, Arod has had YEARS to build up his recruiting, and hes proven hes just

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 8:16pm

Haha you’re resorting to narrative again since the data didn’t back you up

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 8:56pm

I get it, you cant debunk what Ive laid out so u deflect— solid tactic that lets

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 10:21pm

AROD is about to get the biggest catch of all as well.

Not sure why recruits from Utah are more important to so many on CB than others

NYC and Japan

Mar 31, 8:54am

Ill take top Utah Poly kids all day every day as LB, S, DL, OL & RBs. Primarily

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 10:24am

Nusi is a monster. I'm so excited to see our DE talent take a huge leap.

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:06am

It's awesome. I'm just waiting for the interior DL recruitment to catch up

oxcoug

Mar 31, 8:07am

Yeah, while it's getting better and we have some studs finally, the high school

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:10am

Is it possible that some of these edge athletes will move to the inside?

Goatnapper'96

Mar 31, 8:14am

Yeah I've heard that Fetuli has the frame to be a DT if he can put the weight on

Rise Against

Mar 31, 8:15am

Wow. That's kind of a big deal. Really adds some depth to the LB room.

Adrielle

Mar 31, 8:06am

That was already the deepest position on the team

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 8:48am

It’s not like they don’t get dinged up there.

niqmadu

Wow is right.Plays 3 positions, LB, DE and RB, a fast beast playmaker everywhere

Defense doing great. Offense, you’re up.

byujdmba

Mar 31, 11:32am

What are you talking about? Per 247:

molodyets

Mar 31, 11:45am

Madsen could play LB but the overall trend is that both are rising since B12

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 1:41pm

He could play either, but he said he's playing RB.

molodyets

Mar 31, 1:48pm

This narrative needs to die

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 11:55am

narratives don't die when supported by data

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 12:37pm

Then why was your rebuttal a narrative and not more data

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 12:40pm

None of what I said is a narrative, go watch Nacua's Deep Blue

Das_Countach

Mar 31, 3:17pm

Gotta have the QB man

TNT

Mar 31, 1:18pm

Oh, you mean our returning starter who got all Big12 honors last year?

Rise Against

Mar 31, 1:32pm

He's good not great. BYU needs a great QB

TNT

Mar 31, 1:40pm

Apparently we don't, since we just went 11-2 with what you call

Rise Against

Mar 31, 1:49pm

He has accuracy issues. He isn't the sole reason for BYU going 11-2

TNT

Mar 31, 1:59pm

He's good but he isn't anywhere near the Mount Rushmore of BYU QBs

TNT

Mar 31, 2:00pm

Never said he was. I'm just pointing out that we don't need a legendary level

Rise Against

Mar 31, 2:07pm

Agree. But where you and TNT differ is you think Jake is great. TNT thinks good

TNT

Mar 31, 2:14pm

Uh huh. The sole reason. Don't remember the pooch punt? Defense gave up scores. Such silliness doesn’t become a cougar

Hammurabi

Mar 31, 10:24pm

Not even blue-bloods have an elite QB every year. Get real and stop blaming ARod

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 2:04pm

ARod still hasn't landed one. Why are you guys so defensive?

TNT

Mar 31, 2:07pm

Why are you so negative? ARod helped get both Zach Wilson and Jaren Hall to BYU.

Rise Against

Mar 31, 2:09pm

He isn't "so negative." He is in absolute admiration with what Jay Hill is doing

TNT

Mar 31, 2:13pm

Has Jay recruited anyone that is "Elite" at their position? I don't see a 5* on defense.

TheLoneCougar

Mar 31, 2:49pm

Why are you guys so insistent on worshipping Hill and giving Arod 0 credit?

puntersarepeople

Mar 31, 2:29pm

I think certain posters will perpetually be unsatisfied and look for any reason

Rise Against

Mar 31, 2:08pm

Please, enlighten us on how the offense isn't doing great with recruiting.

Rise Against

Mar 31, 1:30pm

Super tiresome. Sheesh. They just got a killer TE prospect and have been doing great recruiting.
