BYU trying to attract non-LDS players

08:19 AM ET 06.27 | Subtle or not, there appears to be a shift in philosophy at Brigham Young under football recruiting coordinator and running backs coach Joe DuPaix. Having signed a nearly all-LDS class of football players in February -- 18 of the school's 19 signees from the class of 2011 are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints -- the Cougars' revamped coaching staff, by all appearances, has broadened its scope a bit when it comes to trying to attract non-LDS players to the school owned by the church. BYU already has a commitment from linebacker Bobby Wolford, a self-described devout Catholic from Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville, Fla., and has made scholarship offers to several other non-LDS players, including running back Jamaal Williams of Fontana, Calif., and Jherremya Leuta-Douyere.

It seems that their attempt to attract attention to themselves by going "independent" has back fired. Only 7 people care to comment on this.......and in these circles thats saying a mouthful.

The problem is that the normal recruits the school has a no sex, no booze, no caffeine policy.
And who wants to attend a school where the women are bound by those rules?

Yes and most BYU folks are a bit off center, however I have met a few cool BYU peeps but the cool ones are few and far between.
