Hopefully, the two recruits from Utah are paying attention to what is happening at BYU. Yesterday, the Salt Lake Tribune ran an interview with BYU's AD, Tom Holmoe, who
"again acknowledged that BYU's current position as an independent in football isn't sustainable in the long term."
The chances of BYU getting into a conference for football in the next 6 years, particularly a P5 conference, is slim to none. Without a conference affiliation, Broncho Mendenhall, the ex-coach, predicted a football meltdown in 3 years. Their schedule is populated every year with 5-6 D2 teams and D1 bottom dwellers. It pads the win column. But to be the best, you have to play the best. BYU hasn't beaten a team that finished in the top 25 this century. Although the new BYU coaching staff generates excitement, they are a very inexperienced group that is also generating off the record concern among knowledgable BYU fans. Hopefully these recruits are looking past the buzz, and want to help push a team into the national spotlight. That is something that is very unlikely at BYU, unless it is for throwing punches.
