@ SkookumDon. Your comment belies considerable ignorance. You act as though a 2 star rating for an athlete that decides to stay at BYU also means that BYU isn’t much of a program. While you can argue till the cows come home on how good BYU really is, when you take away the rabid fan bias of PAC-10/12 or SEC or other BCS conference fans, you find that BYU has plenty of national respect. They had a relatively down year this last year, but the overall trend in the Bronco Mendenhall era has been that they are a very good team, with the athletes that are often overlooked by scouting services and other schools. While scouting services publish star and other ratings of high school athletes, the way those athletes actually perform often defies what the scouts have to say. Famika Anae’s name may not have the cache of other more touted names, but discounting him as you have done shows a shallow (nonexistent) understanding of the game and the athletes that play it.

“Robert Anae was an offensive lineman at BYU in the early 1980s.”

Including as a member of the National Champion team in 1984.

He is only a 2 star athlete, and likely could not get a scholarship at another top program.

Too bad. We could use the big man. He’s a beast when he’s on the field.
