We would be elite if we could improve LDS recruiting.

This analysis looks at the play verses the recruiting. Interesting insight.

Corollary 1 - all mormons want to play at BYU

Corollary 2 - player chose not to come to BYU because he didn't want to live the honor code.

Corollary 3 - Bronco missed on all great LDS athletes playing across the country.

Lies I tell myself as a BYU fan:

I am a member of the church of the 13 - 0 season

then I am a member of the church of the 12- 1 season
then I am a member of the church of the 11-2 season
then I am a member of the church of the 10-3 season
then I am a member of the church of the 9-4 season
then I am a member of the church of the 8-5 season

etc. etc.

Bronco is a good coach. Who are we going to get in here that would do better?

That's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Not surprised to see Boise and TCU squeezing the most out of their talent. Recruiting at BYU has to be such a difficult task considering when you're recruiting the majority of your team, you're making plans 3 and 4 years down the line.

We can and should be a perennial top-25 team.
