From #1 to done.
"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?" ......"Irrelevancy Who?"

Some of you CC religious need to start praying harder for P5.

Its always disappointing to have someone remove BYU from their list. But oh well, life goes on.

This isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. I was thinking Bolen from Oklahoma had said BYU was not in the top 7 as a contender for the Big 12. :whistle: I am actually relieved. I never get too upset when highly recruited kids pass on BYU. It isn't for everyone, and until they've done something in college, I don't put a lot of stock in high school and JC recruiting. He may be great. He may ride the bench the entire time. Meh. We need to have effective coaching bring out the best in the players who want to be here.

All that being said, I still don't think BYU gets in the Big 12. Not because they don't deserve it, but because as a BYU fan you get used to getting the shaft.

Someone on the radio this morning said that when he "reopened" his recruiting after committing to BYU, BYU told him "no thanks" and removed themselves from consideration.

Does anyone else wonder if Cougs Rule is happier when we get a recruit or when we lose a recruit? :skeptic:


Finally figured out how to get the Rich Rod quote off my signature that randomly showed up! Sorry if you thought I stole it from you……..whoever it was that used to have it

Having no inside information whatsoever, I assumed that this is what happened.

My assumption was that when he reopened his recruiting he told us "no thanks" and we responded, "you're a good kid, but we're not THAT short of offensive linemen recruits - good luck kid but you won't be playing here" So he gets mad and expands his list to 7 just to throw Utah on it to finger his nose at BYU.

These things happen. He's no more likely to go to Utah than I am to order a salad for lunch, let him get his shot in and move on I say.

I know Bronco very much dislikes it when a kid commits and then decommits and wants BYU to go through the process again with all the other schools. BYU already recriuted you, sold you, and committed a scholarship to you. If you want to look around now that new options present themselves, fine--but don't make them go through the whole "sell you on the program" thing again.
