Damien Mama is going to decide on signing day - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

BYU is among the top 4.

He would be the best recruit BYU lands this year.

However, experience has taught me that the chances such a recruit will choose BYU on the day of the big reveal is....zero.

So there you go, we will confirm this zero percent chance on signing day.

Not looking good.

ChinoCoug · 01-22-2014, 08:03 PM

What would you do to get the best LDS players to come?

MikeWaters · 01-22-2014, 08:24 PM

Be a good coach who won against good teams and had a track record of putting players in the NFL, and then let the school sell itself.

I would try to dispel misconceptions about the school. That there is more diversity than you might think, while at the same time the standards are very real and if you don't agree with them then this is not the right school for you.

The force of personality has a lot to do with recruiting. And Bronco has the personality of a boiled potato. With peat for flavoring.

Just canceled his BYU visit. Oh dear.

Word is that Martzen, our recruiting coordinator, is non-LDS and quite charismatic?

Did Holmoe create the post in order to compensate for Bronco's deficiencies?

In any case, good job, Holmoe.

Martzen led us to the 65th best class instead of the 68th.

ChinoCoug · 02-09-2014, 12:51 AM

That's due to partially to a small class. We got most of what we wanted. Beat out SC 3 out of 4 times.

2.74 stars in 2014, only 2.29 in 2013. That's a sizeable difference.
