RB Jamal Williams compares BYU to Boise State

[crh55]

I love the comparison this kid makes between us and Boise State.

"It didn't really reach the same expectations as BYU, one feels like a little camp and the other feels like a big-time program. The people were really kind at BYU. They would say hi to you even though they don't know you really. At Boise, you really have to really go up to people and talk to them to get to know them.The football program might have surpassed BYU this past year a little, but that's the only thing they've really got on them a little bit."

Not too shabby, i think this kid will commit pretty soon, especially the way scholarship offers are going pretty fast.

Per Talo Steve's interview with JW at TBS:
"Boise State was a little more the uniforms and gloves and accessories they have..."

What was that comment about? I can't imagine they have any more uniforms, gloves or accessories than BYU. Would they? That would surprise me. I think that they didn't fluant them as much to the recruits at BYU then they did at Boise as besides their stellar record, they don't have a lot more to outshine bigger programs.

It was a great article and he now he goes to SDSU. He's going to ask them about their "honor code". Yea right. Good luck on that one.

Maybe at Boise you got to keep the uniform, gloves and accessories? Just a guess.

Compare campuses, compare stadiums, compare new TV deals. BSU has their 2 BCS games, though. Otherwise, there is no comparison. And after their QB graduates this year, who knows what happens with them. Not like they have a strong QB tradition there.

Boise has a very good college QB pedigree. Zabranski was a very good college QB. Dinwiddie before him set the passer rating record, I think for a season (I think it's also been passed). Boise has produced very good college QBs - just not in the pros (kind of like BYU since Steve Young).

It doesn't surprise me a bit. I bet at Boise St. and places like Oregon, they go on and on about how cool their uniforms are, how high tech their gloves are, etc. Not that they are any more advanced then anywhere else, but its something they really push and talk about because it appeals to a certain percentage of the kids.

Don't forget Detmer and his 14 year career. Or Beck and his NFL experience. Or even Max. At least those guys all made rosters and got a check, even if not superstars.

but do you get to sell them?

My guess is that he thinks BSU has cooler stuff than BYU. Not necessarily that you get to keep it. BSU's stuff is more modern/edgy and might appeal to kids who don't really get the BYU tradition thing.

These are the gloves he was talking about:

They're cool, but how much time can you spend staring at your gloves?
