I'd rather invest my money with a Nigerian than read the comments in the SL Trib or DesNews.

Given his approach, why would any kid who is able to think for himself verbally commit to play for Mendenhall?
I would advise to any kid that is offered a scholarship to play at BYU to tell Mendenhall "Thanks for the offer. I'll get back to you."
There's nothing wrong really with Mendenhall being that way, as it seems he's being consistent and if kids want to play for him, that's cool too. But if a kid wants to weigh his options, he shouldn't play Mendenhall's game."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

I honestly feel really bad about cancelling my TBS subscription today. I sit quietly in High Priest Group meeting and let some of them go off on other people ouside the Quorum or Quorum member who aren't there. Really, who is going to start a fight in HP meeting, not me. To me that is what posting at TBS has become. I don't like what I have heard about how Kona handled things, but some of them over there have made this Bronco vs Kona thing as big as the war in heaven. Good son Bronco, bad son Kona.
Since that place has become more and more like HP meeting, I have decided to not attend rather than be confrontational, just like what I decided as far as HP meetings go.Last edited by byu71; 02-04-2010, 12:44 PM.

It isn't. It's called life. People change their minds all the time and rightfully so because it's their prerogative to do so. Mendenhall needs to accept that."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

One other thing I have asked many times and no one has answered.
Bronco gave the ultimatum to Kona. Why didn't he give the same one to Philips. I read the story, Philips said Bronco told him he shouldn't go, but no ultimatum. Philips didn't even know about Kona.

In this case it sounds like the parents got overly excited about the lure of the recruiting process. That is sad..
Bronco is doing it right, and truthfully I don't think he needs to explain anything...
PS: Thanks for the warning. I closed it without reading the comments which I know would piss me off...

So this "think for himself" comment is a bunch of nonsense.

Furthermore the quality and class of athlete taking the field continues to climb inspite of this approach. The only conclusion that I can make from this is that A) Bronco is a great motivator and/or B) BYU has appeal to more people than fans of other MWC teams want to believe.
I'm just saying that Mendenhall needs to accept that a verbal commit is not binding."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill
