Schools are going to give him a free education in exchange for making their teams MILLIONS of dollars. In the process his body may never be the same again after 4 years.

It was never our recruiting model

Good point. Chances are his family is taking crap from all the open-minded

BluePete

7/23/14 10:59am

well his mom is putting pressure on him as well

Bronoc

7/23/14 11:06am

yeah, right. If you are wanting Langi at BYU I am not sure his mom is helping

cougarmanguy

i don't think it is talking bad about her to just repeat what she said

I think I would after the mess I created. Maybe the winter weather?

I love BYU as much as the next guy, but it would be hard not to look at Stanford

Alister Mackenzie

Plus his mom's comments about Stanford over BYU

billyrust

7/23/14 11:01am

His whole premise on transferring was about needing the BYU environment..

JDBlue

7/23/14 11:03am

It sounds like it was more about getting away from the Utah environment

By going to a California school? Good luck with that.

BYU undergrad can give you as good of an education as Stanford???

Mantis Mutu

7/23/14 11:42am

Depends, at Stanford and Cal, the grad students teach a lot of the undergrad

darkcoug

7/23/14 11:47am

The academic freedom & the diversity of thought is clearly better, though

Mantis Mutu

7/23/14 11:58am

They have their wings clipped. Try to talk about religion in a positive way.

BluePete

7/23/14 12:00pm

As a Literature major, I couldn't touch religion at BYU.

Mantis Mutu

7/23/14 12:01pm

I personally experienced both.

Almaden Cougar

7/23/14 1:36pm

What if he/she had a free ride to both, though?

Mantis Mutu

7/23/14 1:46pm

Good question. I would still advise saving Berkeley for grad school.

Almaden Cougar

7/23/14 1:50pm

What about full rides at Stanford and BYU? Does your opinion change when it's

Almaden Cougar

A few anecdotal stories...

BluePete

7/24/14 11:19am

Yep. That's why I would have to at least hesitate for a full ride to Stanford.

Almaden Cougar

7/24/14 2:10pm

I was referring to Langi as he was apparently offered a football schollie

Yunit

7/24/14 3:59pm

I hear you. That's IF these athletes actually consider anything outside of NFL.

I don't think the name of your school means as much to employers as in the past,

IMO it still matters a lot. Especially for graduate school.

What!? Wasn't the overarching motive to transfer supposedly a culture change?

these are my thoughts almost spot on. I hope Whittingham isn't the instigator

VintageCoug

If he goes to a P12 school, will U fans still say he's not a Pac-12 talent?

Until BYU announces the "signing" of any athlete, don't get your hopes up...
