For that matter, I would expect you'll find most D1 programs pull the majority of their talent from their home states.

2. I don't know if there's a lot of Talent in Texas that gets overlooked. You have schools like UT, A&M, and Oklahoma that battle over the first tier. Then you have a ton of schools like TCU, Central Florida, Tulsa, etc. etc. etc. who go after the second and third tier. If you are looking for a load of talent that doesn't get recruited, you aren't going to find it. 3. As has been stated before, this is common. Most teams recruit heavily from their geographic area. 4. As has been alluded to already, if BYU gets a lot of players in who don't understand the culture, you end up with mass suspensions and defections. The majority of people, by far, who understand the culture are in the West (Utah, CA, AZ). |

When you put the recruiting restrictions in place that are in place, I am pleased that the number is only 60%.
Now is hardly the time to be questionning what Bronco is doing. Plenty of money rolling in and huge fireside attendance. I personally think 2-3 years out if we are winning the conference, scheduling the way we have lately and playing a 4th to 5th place team in the Vegas Bowl, money coming in and fireside attendance will drop off. However, right now, all is well. |

I don't know that there's much we can do about the scheduling, especially in just the 2-3 year time frame. Future schedules, according to nationalchamps.net (which is notorious for being wrong here & there) are listed below. We can hope that the MWC has some teams on the even-years home schedules that improve, but otherwise there's not much room for improving the schedule anytime soon. 2009 @ Arizona State Florida State Utah State 2010 Washington @ Florida State @ Utah State 2011 @ Washington @ Army Arizona State Utah State 2012 Army Washington Utah State @ Boise State 2013 Boise State 2014 @ Boise State 2015 Boise State

I wonder if they schedule a home n home with someone or if they try to schedule 7 home games for 09' like they've done for 2012.
