BYU Recruiting 2013

Is it true the Bronco's big selling point in re-committing the kid was reminding him that he'd likely be playing 3 schools from his home state on an annual basis, most likely in November?

No. Coach Bronco promised him his own momument in Statuary Hall.

Utah, We Love Thee! (the state)

Come to the Promised Land, oh ye sons of the 208!

Interesting that when I Google "JonRyheem Peoples" this article is the first to pop.

Way to go JazzyUte, your "indifference" to BYU is noted.

So what were the offending tweets?

Just got off the phone with BYU's newest commit Meti Taliauli...writeup to come shortly

Taliauli is a 6-5, 305 NT prospect who committed immediately upon receiving his offer...lifelong BYU fan

Did Gman make a mistake, or did everybody miss that last sentence?

Taliauli plans to enroll this coming winter semester.

So it would seem he's graduating early and will get to go thru spring practice at the Y.

Butch's little brother commits.

PROVO — It’s been a big weekend for the Pau’u family. After dropping off Butch Pau’u at school, his younger brother Neil took part in BYU’s camp. Neil is a 6-foot-4, 190 quarterback who will begin his junior at Servite High School this coming season.

Neil went to the camp without any expectations, but was met with a scholarship offer after his performance and immediately accepted it.

How good is he?

Commit also today from LB Isaiah Kaufusi. I think he plays at Brighton.

[MarkGrace]

How good is he?

No idea. Played WR as soph and is taking over at QB this year as a junior. Not sure if they just offered him as an athlete or as a QB.

I would be real surprised if he is being recruited for anything but athlete. I would think TE or DE is where he will finally play.

Talo's saying we offered a safety from Hawaii as well today.

I think BYU is increasingly trying to recruit athletes rather than position specific players.

I think BYU is increasingly trying to recruit athletes rather than position specific players.

Which is a good plan but sometimes I think the coaching staff needs to be a little less gentle with their encouraging some of these players to play positions that better fulfill the needs of the team rather than what the player wants.

Otherwise we could end up with 5 incredible athletes all at TE.

[The_Douger]

They need more athletes on defense.

I'm glad they've seemed to be addressing hte defensive line quite a bit lately.

I wish they'd do more to recruit Polynesians lately.

I keep reading that the Mark Atuaia hire is helping this. When did BYU stop recruiting Poly's and why do they care if Atuaia is in the ADs office? If the Atuaia hire gets Vai to stop pulling the string about Mendenhall and get back to advising people he has never met to serve missions while being a noble spiritual leader in the Tongan community, and occassionally pounding the shit of dickheads for charity, the world will be a better place. If it helps BYU re-establish the never lost but twice now re-established Poly Pipeline, even better. But getting Vai back to beating up Hispanics really makes my day!
