BYU Recruiting 2013

[Indy Coug]

Part of that has to do with the positions they are playing. A lot of DT, DE, OL (not sexy positions) and yes, the other part of it is because at those "skill" positions the players committing are not highly recruited.

Here are starters or potential starters for the 2012 season:

Nelson - 2 stars
Alisa - 2 stars
Hoffman - 2 stars
Hadley - 2 stars
Pritchard - 2 stars
Preston Hadley - 2 stars
Braden Brown - 2 stars
Manumaleuna - 2 stars
Ogletree - 2 stars
Dulan - 2 stars
Braden Hansen - 2 stars
Fuga - 2 stars
Stephenson - 2 stars
Hague - 2 stars
Sampson - 2 stars

I actually like a lot of these guys we're getting. I'm hopeful we'll start having strong lines on both sides of the ball.

There's plenty of talent at the skill positions.

I made no statement about how to interpret those comments just that they weren't highly recruited. I think that list speaks to Bronco's ability to find good players where others haven't or more to the point develop athletes into better football players.

Alisa - 2 stars (none)
Hoffman - 2 stars (none)
Hadley - 2 stars (none)
Pritchard - 2 stars (none)
Preston Hadley - 2 stars Washington State)
Braden Brown - 2 stars (Oregon)
Manumaleuna - 2 stars (none)
Ogletree - 2 stars (none)
Dulan - 2 stars (none)
Braden Hansen - 2 stars (Stanford)
Fuga - 2 stars (Penn State, Nebraska, Colorado)
Stephenson - 2 stars (Arizona State)
Hague - 2 stars (none)
Sampson - 2 stars (none)

Instead of stars, I like to look at offers. I added all the offers for these guys from big conferences. Pretty pathetic.

One could also interpret this as a perspective on what we should expect in 2012.

the guys we're getting now seem to be getting offers from PAC12 schools and Boise and others though.

I don’t know how this recruiting class compares to those in the past. I have a feeling it isn’t better or worse. Fans may complain that these classes are littered with only 2 and 3 star recruits but I think that they are commensurate with what you would expect given the performance and accomplishments of the team on the field. However, I’m optimistic that the coaching staff is genuinely trying to take the program to the next step. The heavy recruitment of Polynesian players this year (important not only for filling holes on the team but also laying the foundation for future recruiting prospects) and the use of a professional strength and conditioning consultant (API, if I remember the rumor correctly) on campus designing a program for the football team I think is evidence of this.

I am very curious to see what Doman has in store for the offense schematically.

Green, a 6-foot-2, 196-pound rising senior, plays for the non-denominational King's School in the Seattle area.
He received a scholarship offer last week after attending a BYU padded camp and is a product of the Barton quarterback camp that also helped the development of former Seattle-area BYU QB Jake Heaps, now at Kansas.

As a junior, Green threw for 2,297 yards and 38 touchdowns last fall.
BYU was the first Division I program to offer him a scholarship. He was receiving interest from Arizona, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State and Utah.

No idea where King's HS is. Gonna have to go watch him play this fall.

Looks like it's in Shoreline. Not too far away.

I wouldn't have known that either. What classification?

According to the wiki page it's a tiny non-denominational Christian school that plays 1A.
