13 counting BYU. :D



Minus our 1 and TCU's 3, that means we beat 9 NFL players from our league, plus the Oklahomas, Oregon States, and maybe Utah States and Tulanes.

Last year we beat:

Oklahoma (7) - Bradford, McCoy, Williams,Gresham, Clayton, Franks, Eldridge

Tulane (0)

Colorado State (1) - Smith

UNLV (1) - Hawley

SDSU (0)

Wyoming (0)

New Mexico (1) - Cook

Air Force (0)

Utah (6) - Misi, Beadles, Johnson, Reed, Sylvester, Stanford

Oregon State (1) - Canfield



I count 17, 9 of which were from MWC teams.

Agreed. To recruit blue-chip athletes you have to have a proven track record of putting a large number of kids in the NFL. The best High School kids are looking at their University as a way to make sure they get a good spot in the draft. BYU, for at least the last several years, has not been able to do this. Don't get me wrong BYU has done a great job but I don't think we'll be able to recruit the really exceptional athletes until we can show that we can put them high the first round.

I do not think he have to get them high first round, just get many of them in the first four rounds. If we can get 4-6 drafts per year, over a 4 year period have 16 or so, that would be great. That would be like the 80's teams, which had more guys drafted than the last 10 years by far. But I suspect we are on the wy. give it 2 more years or so, then we will see it.

Though we just had a class of exceptional athletes sign this year... it's a start.
