What do you think of players results after coming back from missions? Any examples of players who excelled coming back?
Good question. Found a decent link for LDS missions: http://www.deseretnews.com/top/686/...LDS-missionaries-in-professional-sports-.html
Of course, that doesn't take into account the general success at only the college level of programs like BYU fielding teams with 23-25 year olds as vets competing against teams whose vets are 20-22 year olds. BYU not ever being a recruiting juggernaut but winning at such a high level certainly points to the advantages of having a more mature team.
