I'll never understand why fans dis the kids who DO commit to their school because they aren't recruited highly enough. Maybe he pans out, maybe not--I'll give him the shot.

Maybe we need a name change to "BYUfanaslongaswe'rewinning-otherwiseI'meitherstatlerorwaldorf"

Pathetic polyannaism. We aren't dissing the 1* or 2* kid. We are bemoaning the fact that "whoopeeedoo" we got effectively a no-name recruit while losing 3 big recruits, and one of them a 4*. At least I am.

It goes without saying that maybe this recruit will work, maybe not. That goes for most recruits. this is the best news out of/on BYU? Other than Detmer has elevated his 'emotional level', (not to be confused with gotten totally pissed at his players for their horrible execution); and that Kalani is still blaming the O while not holding his cousin DC accountable?

So, la-dee-fricken-da. Sorry to be so caustic. Apparently, some seem to think that the "glass half full" condition of this dumpster fire of a team is at least warming the homeless people [recruits].

This Saturday is likely the last straw for many remaining verbal commits who are hanging onto the "Not-so-good-ship Kalani" by a mere thread. If BYU loses to a totally pathetic ECU, watch a lot more rated kids decommit and a lot of unrated, 1* and 2* kids start to fill their places.

And then when that happens the grumpier of us will take out our frustrations by making fun of those 1* and 2* kids, like they're somehow part of the problem.

Guy from LV on the MWC board reports he also had offers from Weber State and San Diego State.

At least you are self-aware.

I'm not sure who you thought was saying "whoopeeedoo". I just saw a commit on twitter and posted it. If this board is going to be "wallow with me in anger and frustration or expect to be blasted" count me out. And this is evidence that all the crap that all the other fan bases are saying about the BYU fan base not having the fortitude to dealing with a down season 100% accurate. Good day sir.

No where did I dis the kid. Stop being offended so easily. I hope the best for the kid and that he ends up in the NFL Hall of Fame. But if we're going to compete against the schedules we have lined up we have to start winning recruiting battles against the big boys. Recruiting is far from a perfect science and I love the diamonds in the rough that end up excelling in a BYU helmet (although wasn't Bronco blasted by fans on here for liking too many "walk-ons"?), but if the best we can do is get kids that were only offered by junior colleges then that says something about BYU as an entire football program and the coaches. That's the direction I was going.

This isn't a "down" season. This is the titanic. It is a complete and utter disaster. This is Ty Willingham at Washington bad. This is the kind of program failure that takes a coach like Peterson to get things fixed. Does BYU have a "Peterson" type coach that can get us back on track?

you need to understand cougs rule is a frequent visitor to that other fan board cougar blah and over there they are a bunch of crying babies were negativity abounds

Some of you are either millenials or are acting like millenials. Grow some thicker skin. Sheesh.

What the freak are you talking about blue42? This is the only site I go to. You better bring something better than that.

Some of you need to put up or shut up. Put your money where your mouth is and pony up some money to cougar club. I bleed as blue as any of you.

And ABYUFAN, do you have a reading deficiency? I even explained it twice. I got nothing against the 1 & 2* guys. It's the coaches and their lack of discipline, execution, passion and results that is leading to a pending recruiting crisis that will take three to four years to recover from. That's the whole point. Pay attention or don't bother responding. This isn't Sunday school.

And if you need concrete evidence of this pending recruiting crisis take a look at the thread on Jordon Pendleton tweeting he woulndt come!!

Meh. BYU in a down year. I think it will be fixed and we win out, and then the offseason will have a few changes, then 2018 will be much better.



The injuries are horrifying this year, but I think it will prove to offer better depth, and when a recruut is excited to come to the Y, then he gets a chance at to excel. Who cares the ranking or stars.

I like your positive attitude. I would share it if I had seen anything this year that would lead me to believe that this team has the capability of beating anyone other than a horrible Portland state team. I think it would take a major improvement to beat a bad ECU team this weekend. I hope I see it. Maybe it would get the ball rolling and we would see some wins. I just don't see it. I think we will be lucky to win 2 more games this year. I don't think we win any of our road games.

Yeah--everyone else is the problem here. How about you turn the douche down a bit instead of lashing out at fellow fans that don't embrace your negativity? Just because you can be a total dick doesn't mean you should and everyone else should "put up or shut up".

FWIW, this was the take of a guy from the Las Vegas area:

He also had offers from Weber St. and SDSU. Funny how UNLV never offered. Any way, he is a fantastic DB. A true shutdown corner. Hurt his shoulder midway through the year and missed 4 games. He returned to play last week. He is a real good pick up for the Cougars.

247 sport's article on him: https://247sports.com/Article/Three-star-CB-Isaiah-Herron-Talks-BYU-Commitment-109114698



When thinking about his college choice, Isaiah Herron looked past the on-field struggles at Brigham Young, past the program's current six-game losing streak and way beyond the now.



The three-star cornerback from Las Vegas (Nev.) Arbor View announced his decision to commit to the Cougars on Tuesday night, and told 247Sports he wasn't worried about this season or what it might suggest about the trajectory of the team.



"BYU fit everything I was looking for as a school from an education standpoint and style of play," Herron said. "The defense is really strong and the coaches are good people. They have a brotherhood there and I would love to be a part of that. It made my decision a lot easier.



"I've been in contact mostly with coach (Ed) Lamb and we've been growing our relationship. Being able project playing time early on really helped me make my decision. That played a big role as well."



The 6-foot-1, 175-pound prospect is rangy and long, and flashes good straight-line speed to keep up with receivers down field. In a game earlier this season against San Diego State-bound three-star receiver Elijah Kothe, Herron turned in a very good performance to essentially shut down his side of the field. He looked poised in and out of breaks and handled one-on-one scenarios well.



"They have been recruiting me at cornerback with some possibility of safety," Herron said. "I see myself in that spot. That's my bread and butter. I've been trying to critique off that and growing in man-to-man. It's all I've been doing."



Herron plans to visit Provo in December to get a feel for the atmosphere and see how the program operates day to day.



"I've been in contact with a few of the young guys that are there and I got to form a relationship with them," Herron said. "I've got a feeling they're building something that not a lot of people are seeing right now. I've gotten a taste of it, so I want to be a part of that."



Southern Utah and Weber State had also offered Herron, with the likes of UNLV, California, Utah and Colorado also expressing some interest.

WHAT?!?! THIS ISN"T SUNDAY SCHOOL?!?!? CRAP - I'M IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!!!!!



*quickly exits and runs down the hall

I thought the injuries were always Bronco's fault for his cutting-edge strength and conditioning programme or for not teaching QBs to avoid any and all contact?

I don't believe this is necessarily a single down year, but neither do I believe it's the Titanic either. Yes, the injuries hurt, and yes, we're not mentally tough --> physical on the field, but Tanner doesn't really fit the system well. He can hit a guy on the money if he's open; he just struggles with pro-style offense. If he or another QB can learn to check down on receivers, our offense would markedly improve. However, that might necessitate a better offensive line...unless 2-3 TEs w/ 2-3 BIG, strong athletic running backs could make the difference and spread out the defense.



Last year, Jamaal and Squally were both awesome. Then Jamaal gets hurt, and Squally is THE guy. Against Boise State, Squally did fine...but no one else could. With both guys healthy & in, we have the depth to maintain a strong running game, maybe we win. This year, we have only Tolutau, and he's a freshman...not dissing his athleticism, but he did have two or three fumbles (two lost) vs Utah State. If we have an extra guy like him/Jamaal who both have good ball security, that would establish a strong rushing attack.



I don't know why Squally isn't as good this year. He was good vs Portland State, but otherwise mostly non-existent. He even missed MSU. Maybe he needs either another good RB or a good passing game to spread the LBs/DBs or keep the defense from spying on him.



I think that the QB learning curve might take another year or two (and maybe Critchlow and/or Wilstead know the system and can play it), then we rely on TEs until we can recruit bigger & better O-linemen. With the linemen we have and dynamic RBs and TEs with a QB who can get the ball out there, especially with the deep ball threat, we would likely have 4-5 wins this year. Close losses to LSU, Wisc, and/or Miss State, wins vs Utah, Utah State, and Boise State.

Well I guess that was my mistake for thinking someone on courgarboard that has the same board name as you do here would be a different person, but If you think my comment was because I have thin skin... that's funny! I don't know how you concluded I have thin skin when I commented everyone on cougarboard currently whines like a stuck pig about everything BYU football and are extremely negative. So if you have never been to cougarboard I apologize, and give you full credit for coming up with all of your negativity on your own.



By the way, I really don't know what am I supposed to bring, are we doing a pot luck? I make killer rolls.
