there are a few schools that don't....Stanford is one that I know for a fact. I am sure there are some others. Notre Dame fans claim this is the case with their school but I don't have first hand knowledge of that.

As for the religious standards...you can't point to something Bronco is doing and blame it on the environment Bronco is stuck with. The baseball player thing would be quite a change, but word is that bishop was being a maverick and his decision is being overturned. |

It is true that recruiting is important. I am just not sold on the ability of the recruiting websites to predict who will be good. Bronco has much more credibility with me than those sites do. I'd rather get a Max Hall than a Ben Olson any day. And Bronco's recruits have done a good job when called on. No one thought Dulan was going to ever see the field and he started as a 17 year old. I do get excited about who else has offered our recruits and by that standard we had a great year. USC wanted Afutiti apparently. Florida wanted Holt. Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina wanted to get Chambers. USC was supposedly very interested in Murphy. Oklahoma and Texas were interested in Yeck. It goes on. I don't think that Bronco was saying that recruiting isn't important, just that we shouldn't get too excited or disappointed over a highly ranked recruit who hasn't proved anything on the field.

Furthermore, at least a couple of those top LDS recruits really weren't pursued by BYU for whatever reason(s). |
