it's always counted against the scholarships of the sport that is played

earliest in the school year. So that would always be football in this case as long as he's on both teams. If he isn't going to be on the football team then he'll need to walk on to the basketball team until a scholarship is available.

Corbin Kaufusi won't play football this year, will play basketball.

Good, he's too tall to play football now.

BengalCougar

7/23/14 12:29pm

Not sure Bryant McKinnie agrees. He's shortlisted at 6'8".

Don't think Elder Kaufusi would lie to his Mother while on his mission

roseyscenario

7/23/14 12:39pm

My piont was he's perhaps not too tall for football.

lawboy

7/23/14 12:41pm

Have you ever seen a 6'10" football player?

BengalCougar

7/23/14 12:45pm

Closest I can think of is Jonathan Ogden. He was 6'9?

JDBlue

7/23/14 12:47pm

And he was an absolute freak, extremely rare exception.

BengalCougar

7/23/14 12:48pm

Too Tall Jones was 6'9" as well.

fredgarvin

7/23/14 1:00pm

So... 6'9" is Too Tall?

dilbert

7/23/14 1:10pm

I think 6'9" is the limit, and those guys have to be freaks.

BengalCougar

7/23/14 1:13pm

No, but too-tall is 6'9"

Bryant McKinnie. OL Miami Hurricanes 2001, and NFL vet.

lawboy

7/23/14 12:48pm

He's 6'9", not 6'10". And there are very few 6'9" players that have....

BengalCougar

7/23/14 12:49pm

I've been told he is 6'11" and they shortlist him.

lawboy

7/23/14 12:52pm

He's not. Avid Vikings fan here. Unless he and Phil Loadholdt are both 6'11"

BarraCouga

7/23/14 1:11pm

That guy is wrong, he was measured at 6'8" or 6'9" at the combine.

BengalCougar

7/23/14 1:14pm

Tallest player in NFL history was 7'0"

fredgarvin

7/23/14 1:07pm

Kaufusi is even taller than he is at 6'10", McKinnie is 6'9" and no NFL player..

BengalCougar

7/23/14 12:44pm

great news.

7/23/14 12:31pm

nice. love how much deeper this team will be than it has been

BlueK

7/23/14 12:32pm

Did he get much interest from any BBall coaches coming out of HS?

dilbert

7/23/14 12:33pm

Supposedly grew from 6'6" to 6'10" on his mission.

BarraCouga

7/23/14 12:34pm

I think he graduated HS at 6'8"...

icecougar

curry30

BlueK

He should play football. Kick block specialist.

BarraCouga

7/23/14 12:46pm

if that's the choice, basketball would seem to be more fun from his perspective

BlueK

7/23/14 12:47pm

I'm assuming he keeps the football schollie for a year but...

BarraCouga

7/23/14 12:52pm

the reports may be wrong, but if it's correct that he's a "walkon" for

BlueK

7/23/14 12:56pm

Right. Wasn't really being serious.

BarraCouga

7/23/14 1:14pm

since his dad is a school employee does he need one?

A coordinated big man is always a welcomed addition.

byubyu

7/23/14 12:36pm

Finally. James Anderson sure left a void.

flyusaf

7/23/14 12:41pm

How was he in HS?

flyusaf

7/23/14 12:37pm

good - but he has grown 6 inches since last he played. Different player now

cougarmanguy

7/23/14 12:37pm

He wasn't 6'3"-6'4" as a senior in high school.

byubyu

7/23/14 12:39pm

. Ok, so he grew 5 inches. Thanks for the correction

cougarmanguy

7/23/14 12:40pm

I seem to remember reading he was 6'8" in his senior year when BYU was...

icecougar

7/23/14 3:00pm

Nice. This might work out well

cougarmanguy

7/23/14 12:37pm

is this the guy that looks just like Michael Alisa?

Mayor of Cougartown

Only from the neck-up, apparently.

Who will break the news to Gonzaga?

gustav88

7/23/14 12:38pm

King Kong Kaufusi returns.

byubyu

7/23/14 12:40pm

They already know about it. The resulting thread could be epic

BeardedSpock

7/23/14 2:41pm

Where is the roster spot coming from?

CaliWG

7/23/14 12:42pm

my guess is someone redshirts

BlueK

7/23/14 12:44pm

You would think, but...

CaliWG

7/23/14 12:56pm

RS Worthington and don't second guess it

CoopDizz

7/23/14 2:05pm

I would rather redshirt Andrus

BYUheaven

7/23/14 2:10pm

Not me; Luke could use an extra year working on coordination

CoopDizz

7/23/14 2:46pm

Just Cut Halford. He Will NOT See Much PT This Season

Coug76

7/23/14 4:19pm

If KC misses a few game, Chatman could very well be starting

BYUheaven

7/23/14 2:16pm

Tweet said he would "walk on". No schollie.

Rhino84

7/23/14 1:14pm

Doesn't matter, there's a 15 man roster maximum regardless of scholarship status

CaliWG

7/23/14 1:15pm

Sorry. Reading failure on my part!

I really like this for three reasons

Heinz57

Your reasons are persuasive.

He's 6'11" now? Just this morning he was 6'10".

StantonMac

7/23/14 3:35pm

This morning? Not following?

Heinz57

7/23/14 6:57pm

You listed him at 6'11" in your post, he's 6'10".

BengalCougar

7/23/14 7:17pm

Yes my post said 6'11" inches, but I posted that in the afternoon

Heinz57

7/23/14 7:24pm

i'm pretty sure he'll be listed at 6'11" He looks same height as Coach Pope

I am fine with it as long as he is not taking a football scholarship if he is
