Hopefully we can find a tackling machine at the other ILB spot

Given the # of sacks this group has and overall play I think one has to be very pessimistic to be down on returning 5/7 starters from this front 7. There biggest weakness has been being consistent in tackling. Bronson has played at an all american level so I understand some concern replacing his production.

BYU football JC recruiting needs.....

11/25/15 11:51am

Juergens, Pearson, MLP, and Kurtz with the addition of Trinnaman and Weeks. We should be pretty solid at WR.

11/25/15 11:56am

Also, Williams, Brown, Canada, West, and Burt at RB. We will run it a lot more next year.

I don't believe in the walk-on WRs....

11/25/15 11:59am

False. Juergens and Pearson have been great.

Bob Vance

11/25/15 12:03pm

They're 4th option receivers any higher and that is a bad sign for your offense

11/25/15 12:07pm

Juergens has been very productive when healthy.

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:10pm

He's short, slow and is going to get shut down if he is any large part of the

11/25/15 12:16pm

He's a very productive slot receiver. He's definitely not an X or Y receiver and that's not what he's expected to play.

jreid191

11/25/15 12:22pm

Dude, he's not "slow." He's about the perfect size/speed for slot

Bob Vance

11/25/15 12:24pm

Maybe slow for an outside receiver, but not for slot. He plays slot and not outside so shouldn't be an issue.

jreid191

11/25/15 12:29pm

He's not slow, and his height really isn't an issue because he is a slot WR.

11/25/15 12:29pm

Yes and no. Juergens is a solid first option slot receiver. I would agree that

Bob Vance

11/25/15 12:19pm

I think Pearson is the most underrated guy on CB right now

A stronger running game should help open things up in the secondary as well.

jreid191

11/25/15 12:04pm

I like the Shumway vibes, and Dye is still a legit cosideration, too...

Very solid. And don't forget Inoke Lotulelei, who is already back from his mish.

We have a few receivers coming in

11/25/15 11:58am

Also we could have an actual receiving threat at TE with Frank Tuipulotu (though I'm not sure on mission plans)

jreid191

11/25/15 12:01pm

He leaves on a mission next fall is his plan

Richards looked pretty good catching passes in the spring game.

dilbert

11/25/15 12:10pm

Matt Bushman is the returning TE

11/25/15 12:42pm

Bushman isn't scheduled to return until September 2016

donnerstag

11/25/15 12:46pm

We'll see if he returns early for camp. Players do that all the time

11/25/15 12:52pm

It's certainly possible, although the September 2015 returnee didn't enroll for

Wont Taele be back along with Tuiloma?

concolor couguar

11/25/15 11:58am

I keep thinking that, but this year they've been very average....

11/25/15 12:03pm

Tuiloma has been well above average when he has been healthy. Warner is basically the same size...

I was talking about LBers in this post. Tuiloma has done well, but hasn't been

I think Taetu is much more consistent than you are giving him credit for

Takitaki was really improving against the run when he was suspended

You seem to not like any of BYU's players. And I disagree with (almost) all of

All will be upperclassmen I think improvement is to be expected

concolor couguar

11/25/15 12:07pm

We'll be ok on the oline. That's a young group this year.

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:03pm

good, but thin

I'mBatman

11/25/15 12:28pm

Hopefully Jimenez and Nwigwe can improve and provide some depth

concolor couguar

11/25/15 12:31pm

If those backups don't improve at all with another year you have a point.

SCcoug

11/25/15 12:44pm

I certainly hope that one of the freshmen can be coached up enough in a year

donnerstag

11/25/15 12:49pm

They mainly need to get bigger and stronger at this point

CoopDizz

11/25/15 12:58pm

That's not the case with all of them

donnerstag

11/25/15 1:07pm

I meant Nwigwe, Jimenez, and Hoyt; Gulley definitely needs to lose weight

CoopDizz

Worried a bit about that OL RM list

Good breakdown

I'mBatman

11/26/15 4:07pm

Dawe and Hoyt have both played a lot this year

CoopDizz

11/25/15 12:56pm

Tanoai I think will push for starters minutes once he gets back into shape.

Broda

11/25/15 12:58pm

Yep; he tops my list of guys I expect to emerge

CoopDizz

11/25/15 1:00pm

Not impressed with Dawe

I'mBatman

11/25/15 3:57pm

Why do you predict average play from the LB's next year? We will return our best players...

11/25/15 12:04pm

If you look at the rest of Bluedominations posts in this thread, it quickly

Bob Vance

^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree with Bob, here.

Pretty much everything you posted here is wrong

CoopDizz

11/25/15 12:10pm

Keep in mind the BYU Media guide lists West at WR and not RB

Cougarpride

11/25/15 12:31pm

You spelled all the names right but got everything else wrong

11/25/15 12:42pm

Greatest position of need in my opinion is dline.

jonnnylingo

More throws to running backs solves the problem
