BYU receives pledge from All-American QB

I don't blame the guy. If he has that much talent, he wants to go where he can use it the best-win. I wouldn't go to USU either, especially when each year the win total is shrinking, instead of growing, like it should.
BYU lost the #1 overall high school recruit, Ben Olson, to UCLA after his mission.
So, it can work both ways.
Also a bit bothered by the fact that the missionary was given permission to basically open his recruiting while on a mission. A nominal, once-a-week email with his father about recruiting options are OK. Communicating with coaches whenever/wherever are not OK.
I'm resigned to my opinion that USU will always be bad in football, but at least I'm not a bandwagoner... I'll always stick with 'em.
I wish BYU had the backbone to come to Logan and play basketball in the Spectrum, one of the few good chances we have to really beat the cougars.
Give it up guys! It's time for you to go to the cooler!
Good athlete, but doesn't fill the need in a QB that byu uses.
BYU football is a religion unto itself, I guess.
If you don't think all missionaries don't spend a little time thinking about and making some plans for what they're going to do when they return from their missions, you're naive. Same is true if you think Bronco is going to be disruptive to a missionary.
Get over it and grow up.
I wonder how many mission presidents let their missionaries talk to schools outside of Utah? All over the country? I don't think so. He should definately lose a year of eligability. As an Aggie, I am angry, but it is hard to blame him. As RR said, you want to go where your talent will be show cased. On the other hand, it is pretty low of BYU to recruit when he should be concentrating on those more important things, as the article says. Are people still mad about Olsen? Give it up. Do you really want him over Hall? I can't believe Cougar fans are still this terrified of him. That is why you will drop the UCLA game at home this year.
Anonymous- What are you even responding to? Put that education to work.
And isn't Bronco supposed to be "raising the bar", shouldn't he be taking the high road and not messing with some missionary's head.
Get over it and grow up is right... you need to grow up and realize that you think this is OK because the kid chose to come to BYU. If he was opting to leave, you'd be screaming for legal action... '01 BCS ring a bell?
At least my aggies are still taking the moral high ground... I guess Bronco is just another football coach of just another college football team.
You can tell him that you'll talk about it with him when he comes home. You can tell him to focus on his mission. You can tell him that football or even school isn't as important as what he should be doing. You can also tell him that he's a complete traitor and BYU QBs not named Steve Young never make it in the pros anyway, so maybe he should have picked somewhere else.
There's a list. Feel free to add to, but you certainly can't take away.
USU Grad.
This college football crap is of no consequence at all.
Grow up.
Riley must have been living too righteously on and off the field for Utah State.
Go Aggie Basketball. Drop Football altogether.
Who are you a fan of. "Two straight losing seasons"so you can get a coach who loses less than 4 times over the past two seasons. Don't give us this go cougs stuff.
