Preferred walk-on is essentially consider on team without tryout

Preferred walk on=You're on the team with little to no money. There's no

Preferred = No Schollie, on 105 man roster & recruited; Regular = no roster spot

Another important distinction - Preferred Walk-Ons are subject to NCAA transfer

Also means he can participate in fall camp. Walk-on tryouts are after fall camp.

cougarick

1/29/15 3:02pm

Can participate, but likely won't. PWO typically join the team after camp when

1/29/15 3:10pm

so typically bronco has 105 scholly kids in camp? i would have figured a few

johnnycarson

1/29/15 3:13pm

No, only 85 scholarship. 20 are walk-ons.

Bronco4Prez

1/29/15 3:19pm

okay. duh. i guess i knew the 85 scholly limit. i was just confused.

johnnycarson

1/29/15 3:50pm

no, not all in camp are schollied. Many upperclassmen walk ons too.

BYUFBDAD

1/29/15 3:22pm

105 Man Roster = (Typically - 85 Schollie Kids, 20 Non Schollie players). 105 is

Not completely correct.

Crap. Can't we get the kids from legacy player families to come to BYU?

reading comprehension fail

BYUMizzou

Ya, no.

Colorado must be upset that Koy Jr didnt decide to be a Buff.

BlueFrog

I'm sure. I'm about ready to jump over to their message boards to see if they

Losing the son of a former player's brother

mulletino

1/29/15 3:25pm

Ummm......

PolarisPrime

1/29/15 5:40pm

Um, he's referring to Covey, not Detmer

BYUMizzou

1/29/15 7:14pm

Oh, that makes more sense then

PolarisPrime

1/29/15 11:32pm

So Bronco is 1 for 2... Success!

Smoke Monster

1/29/15 2:16pm

Yeah, you're being snarky, but in the real world getting commits from half of

When it comes to Kid's of former players...

Smoke Monster

Mmmm Hmmm . . . by your metric, the coaches at the following schools are failing

BYUMizzou

Britain is Sean's son? Someone better deal Sean's brother!

mulletino

I guess Ty isn't part of the 90%

Freddie Cougar

1/29/15 2:14pm

Pure genius in that post ^^^^^^

slowhiteguy

1/29/15 2:17pm

Pretty sure he's part of the 1%

SingleStrapBackpack

1/29/15 2:23pm

Koz isn't part of 90% either. Only those with kids at the U are part of 90%

Coogar2

1/29/15 4:01pm

He had a full ride to UTSA I believe so this is kinda cool

BigYfan

1/29/15 2:17pm

There are at least 4 players turning down full rides to D1 schools to go to BYU

jhingman

1/29/15 2:19pm

Who are the others?

SingleStrapBackpack

1/29/15 2:23pm

I believe Scott Huntsman is one. Had an offer from Purdue.

703BYUFan

1/29/15 2:26pm

Was that his only D1 offer?

ldssdl

1/29/15 3:54pm

Can't hurt to have a Detmer lurking in the meeting rooms and sideline.

CalGTR

1/29/15 2:22pm

Another thing folks might find interesting is that he's not LDS.

CalGTR

1/29/15 2:24pm

I think that this says more about BYU's program than Covey's choosing Utah.

Oceanographer

1/29/15 2:37pm

BYU is attracting quality D1 athletes. Covey was one of many, but as Gunther

Coogar2

1/29/15 4:04pm

Wait a minute. Did Koy recruit BYU? (TIC)

Coogar2

1/29/15 4:05pm

Is he a qb? I haven't been following his recruiting.

bluecheese

1/29/15 4:01pm

Yes

bretonnia

1/29/15 6:34pm

Can he throw the pigskin?

Heinz57

Can he throw the pigskin slightly deflated?
