I see. I was mixing him up with Thor Katoa from last year's class

So BYU fans are upset about "losing" a kid that didn't even have a BYU offer and whose lone other offer was Utah State until Gary offered him something at OSU while he tries to salvage some kind of recruiting class in his first year at Oregon State?

I'm not saying what kind of player the kid might turn out to be, but I don't see how Zach Katoa is worth spending any real frustration.

No, and in this instance I wish they would have

As soon as Tuiaki left Utah for OSU, you knew Pini would follow him.

We may lose Empey as well

1/25/15 10:19pm

was Empey really even an option? I thought he pretty much ruled us out

I heard Empey committed to Utah. Did he not?

Zach Morris

Empey is NOT coming to BYU. He decided quite some time ago that he wasn't.

I've spoken to both and know parents

I hear this so often. Why does BYU show interest so late? How could it hurt to

Pride. BYU wants recruits to adore them, they don't want to appear to adore

You don't sign with a school that fired your dad

This had nothing to do with it.

Katoa was never really interested in BYU

Actually it was Utah St

byukarl

1/25/15 10:26pm

LOL....he didn't even have a Utah offer.

Is he related to Lyn Katoa? My son played with him at Colorado at least until

Alcova

"Deciding football wasn't for him" is one way to put it.

Shimmy

Yeah Lyn had his problems. My son was pretty much the only active LDS member of

BYU should go after Nate Heaps, offer him preferred walk-on at least.

1/26/15 12:34am

Sad day when BYU cannot even get the local recruits from AF High....

Koreacougar

1/26/15 4:10am

"Couldn't" get him is a little misleading. BYU didn't even offer him

TrueAndBlue

1/26/15 8:35am

I understand why BYU did not offer Kotoa.

1/26/15 9:21am

He isn't a FB, he is a RB. With that being said, I don't believe he will do

Duke Silver

1/26/15 10:18am

Not sure where you came up with him being a FB

southernfriedcougar

1/26/15 11:29am

I don't think we missed. We had higher priorities.

southernfriedcougar

1/26/15 11:26am

The highest priority straight from Martzen's mouth is OL

RockyBalboa

1/26/15 1:04pm

No, I mean higher priorities at RB.
