I really didn't think with the emphasis on the schools requirements, he would be able to recruit as well as in the past. He has.
I applaud him for really laying it on the line with these kids. That is only fair to them. I feel sorry for any kid who comes to BYU thinking, they really didn't mean it.
The frustrating thing for Bronco has to be down the line the fans aren't going to be content with the schedule, conf. championships and the Vegas Bowl.
Look at the Ute fans. They were in a BCS bowl Are the fans still thrilled.
BYU could help him out a bit by getting into a BCS conf. but maybe that is just an impossibility.
Living right off and on the field is good, but it won't get you to the next level alone.

Mediocre schedule = his own fault
Higher academic standards = not true, total lie
Restrictive standards = no more restrictive than they were under Lavell, arguably less restrictive. I don't think Ronney, Mahe, or Wesley get kicked out in today's environment.
