I thought we had moved past that recruiting model!

It was never our recruiting model

really? I bet he wants to just get out of Utah now.

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

7/23/14 11:07am

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

Bronoc

7/23/14 11:08am

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

Yeah, but this is not the norm. It's very much like Kona Schwenke now.

Okay, if this is true. Time to cut ties. This is crazy.

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

Alister Mackenzie

7/23/14 11:00am

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.

BluePete

very possible

I could see that.

BluePete

Sometimes its just about getting a fresh start

darkcoug

7/23/14 11:19am

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

I can't speak from personal experience, but wow. A full ride to Stanford would

Almaden Cougar

7/24/14 10:10am

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.

Almaden Cougar

Good point.

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

Sometimes you have to jump through some hoops to appease your mother.

It looks like momma is the problem. Frustrating.

rainorsnow

7/23/14 11:37am

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

yakkamole

7/23/14 12:16pm

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

VintageCoug

7/23/14 2:30pm

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

cougarmeister

I'm sure Sark has already met with him, knowing he is from Utah

Harvey stays at BYU

Heinz57

Why not leave him alone and respect his choices?

Who's bugging him and not respecting his choices?

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