No doubt, I don't think any reasonable Ute fan is turning the kid away

I'm just saying that he probably isn't going to be as successful at RB as he might be a DE. He certainly is an athlete, so hopefully he comes to terms with that. If he demands to play RB, his college career could very well be unremarkable.

It seems weird to me that there is talk of Langi switching to LB. BYU gets high

BYU81

Because he has serious pro potential at LB

viper

except he's not played any defensive position since preschool

Defensive End is a much easier position to pick up than ILB.

true, although Ziggy showed a remarkable intuition for

Yeah, Ziggy did great in the NFL as well.

Josef K

he played rb though, which means he knows exactly what offenses do and

palangi

Yeah. He didn't play defense at bingham.

He's never played LB. Body type is not necessarily indicative of "pro potential"

True, but he is a blue chip athlete that was already a bit big for RB, and has

Lets not get carried away. He's a 4.6 kid at 220-230.

And the fasted ILB 40 at the combine was 4.66. KVN was 4.71

viper

Before the combines, KVN was a 4.5-4.6 guy, though. We'll see on Langi.

BYU is going to be unstoppable on offense. UNSTOPPABLE!!!!

To be honest, though, there do seem to be a lot of similarities between this

agreed. We should pull our punter's scholarship, we won't use him at all.

Sandy Lyle

Because he's bigger than he was pre-mission

Why can't be be like other Polynesian players not not put on 50-75 pounds

Eventual paycheck, perhaps. But you have a point.

Bronco lets his players choose where they prefer to play initially

CougarCanuck76

7/29/14 11:29am

I kind of disagree with you on Langi's skill set

BYUMizzou

7/29/14 11:33am

I think that was his problem at Utah.

Josef K

7/29/14 11:41am

Word is that he runs too upright to be an effective RB. Also, weight gain

Stringer Bell

7/29/14 11:30am

I believe he has also shown interest in switching to defense.

Bro

7/29/14 11:46am

When it comes to D, in Bronco I trust.

The Lone Wolf

7/29/14 11:52am

We'll land RBs. Don't worry. And they probably won't be 6'2+ 250+.

southernfriedcougar

7/29/14 12:11pm

I'm worried. Cedric Dale was BYU's 3rd option and they couldn't even get him

We've offered a bunch of RBs, will continue to offer RBs for 2016

Langi isn't going to break through the two deep at BYU, he didn't at Utah.

In fairness, maybe this is a Utah development problem

deliciousmocha

7/29/14 1:12pm

Could be, although I think he had the problem coming out of HS...

Soft Jazz Coug

not to mention that it's not like he was a jr or sr. sometimes it takes time
