Deciding where to play is different from being ready to play physically.

This is a deadline about the transfer not physical readiness. I think some tend to conflate these two factors. Taysom does need to decide soon where he's going.

Supposedly Ty Detmer told Taysom Hill to decide by the time spring camp starts

Who is Mitch Harper again?

My first disagreement with Ty. Honeymoon over.

boogers

2/9/16 6:59pm

I will rephrase. If Taysom is able to participate in Spring Ball, he needs to

boogers

2/9/16 7:29pm

Ty agrees with me.

boogers

2/9/16 7:39pm

because TY wants him there...learning, soaking in the new offense....

It certainly makes sense to me.

CopperLix

2/9/16 7:00pm

And he really should. Gotta start making plans.

I don't know why Taysom is dragging this out

I was thinking Hill may decide soon after Spring ball.

Flyski

Easy. Decide to stay at byu. He can change his mind after camp.

That would be a bush league move to lie to buy you more time

ColonelMustard7

2/9/16 8:54pm

Bush league to whom?

NanoFab Coug

2/9/16 9:07pm

Not fair to the team, but in his best interest. At this point, I don't think

unctoothman

2/10/16 7:01am

to byu. For Hill to say he has studied it out and made up his mind to stay at

ColonelMustard7

2/9/16 9:25pm

I'm sure you're not alone. There would be many who would call him

NanoFab Coug

2/10/16 7:16am

????? I am really confused. First of all I wouldn't call him that because

That's not how the acceptance process for grad school works.

I understand that's not how it works for everyone else.

NanoFab Coug

Why would Ty want Hill at spring camp to scout the new offense then perhaps end up someplace else to share

soupie

2/9/16 11:17pm

He's had 5 months to think about it so far

KingDave

Taysom deserves all the time he needs to make his decision

gmj81

2/9/16 8:51pm

& likewise, BYU deserves all the time they need to move the position forward.

SpiffCoug

2/9/16 8:54pm

Unless anyone has heard anything different, he's not participating during spring

gmj81

2/9/16 9:48pm

I think it's a good idea. Not smart to run spring camp with Tanner as the #1 guy, only to have

Harrison0Yfan

But will Taysom even be medically cleared to play by spring camp?

ldssdl

2/9/16 7:11pm

I've heard he's not but I really don't know.

KingDave

2/9/16 7:12pm

Very hard to say, this is true. Lisfrancs apparently are variable and can take a really long time

Harrison0Yfan

2/9/16 10:27pm

Doesn't matter... he still can decide where he's going to play.

Accipiter

2/10/16 7:30am

What's the point of waiting longer?

Cougarealist

2/9/16 7:07pm

Wants to see if he gets healthy.

rockhound

2/9/16 9:12pm

Why wouldn't he already know that?

Kerbouchard

2/9/16 9:44pm

You know that not all recoveries go as planned, right?

gmj81

2/9/16 9:56pm

Cause full recovery could take upwards of a year.

basman

2/9/16 10:12pm

Not sure why this could be considered anything but wise.

Wedgetail

2/9/16 7:08pm

Why would it be beneficial for Taysom to decide after Spring Camp?

SUAVO

2/9/16 7:18pm

I think you've got it backwards

gmj81

2/9/16 9:02pm

How else is he going to pick up on the new offense? Gotta be there is you want

BlueForLife

2/9/16 7:21pm

I thought Taysom was not going to be medically cleared for Spring??

boogers

2/9/16 7:26pm

Probably non contact drills only

Turnpike Lane

2/9/16 7:30pm

Ty obviously wants him to participate in all the non-physical stuff.

I just re-listened to the interview. According to Mitch Harper there

Flyski

2/9/16 7:33pm

In other words, what Gunther said was completely false.

SoCalCoug

2/9/16 7:37pm

Pretty much. Leaving out one word makes a big difference.

Flyski

2/9/16 7:40pm

Then "ideally" Taysom would be wise to listen to what his coach trying to say.

SpiffCoug

2/9/16 7:50pm

Why would anyone believe anything Gunther says?

LDTemplar

2/9/16 8:27pm

Very reasonable

NorthwestCoug

2/9/16 8:41pm

Makes sense. It's only fair to the coaches. They need to start game planning

ColonelMustard7

2/9/16 8:54pm

Both Harper and Gunther are less than credible.

goldy

2/9/16 9:07pm

I'm guessing the guy building the offense would want to know what players he

StantonMac

2/9/16 10:01pm

Beau is still here. Ty is going to have to have some wrinkles for a mobile QB

I think the "ultimatum" is irrelevant

Deciding where to play is different from being ready to play physically.

Accipiter

2/10/16 6:45am

Don't you think his medical readiness would play into the decision?

gmj81

2/10/16 11:06am

No.

Accipiter

2/10/16 12:53pm

I addressed this
