fantastic athletes and it has nothing to do with their skin color.

They are unproven as starting CBs, yes, but the athletic ability is unusual for BYU.

Hearing Kalani list off the depth at Corner is pretty unbelievable

Here's to no more further years of having to play the

I'm excited for Wilcox

CaliWG

8/18/16 5:28pm

Armstrong is getting praise too.

southernfriedcougar

8/18/16 5:31pm

Its nice to have a group to choose from

CaliWG

8/18/16 5:45pm

That's the kid from Corona, isn't it?

SoCalCoug

8/18/16 6:24pm

Yes – injured his senior year of HS IIRC so didn't play much or get looks

I think Hanneman could've made it fine as a Corner. Tough task to get

He himself has said he wasn't very comfortable there.

southernfriedcougar

8/18/16 5:41pm

that was evident on the field too. He always seemed a little tight, hesitant...

icecougar

8/18/16 6:11pm

Playing the hardest cover spot fresh off a mish will do that to ya, though.

mantis mutu

8/18/16 8:21pm

So this is what you call depth? 1 guy, maybe 2 (I will have to check)

UTE Golfer

8/19/16 2:35pm

Yes, at BYU (everything's relative, right).

ZooBlue

8/19/16 3:25pm

Very true. While I think Warner will be a player, 5 of them have not proved a

UTE Golfer

8/19/16 3:44pm

So for Utah, it sounds like there's more potential talent at QB than usual?

ZooBlue

8/19/16 4:48pm

POTENTIAL TALENT is the key phrase there. They could be good and we might have

UTE Golfer

8/19/16 4:52pm

Is the Potential better than usual (based on objective measures)?

ZooBlue

8/19/16 5:40pm

Actually, didn't Kalani just inherit this talent from Bronco?

ZooBlue

8/18/16 5:27pm

Sort of. Akile Davis was playing WR under Bronco and Wilcox and Armstrong are

shakinbaker

8/18/16 6:38pm

Weren't most of them on the team before the coaching change?

SUAVO

8/18/16 5:27pm

Brought in 3 and moved one.

southernfriedcougar

8/18/16 5:30pm

Armstrong & Wilcox weren't, Akile was a WR, and Warner was a recruit

CaliWG

8/18/16 5:35pm

So, it's pretty unproven?

SUAVO

8/18/16 6:30pm

No doubt, but when has BYU ever had this many legitimate options?

CaliWG

8/18/16 7:27pm

Legitimate might be a bit strong, as what, five of those names have never played

basman

8/18/16 5:29pm

Would you move a starter at that spot from last year if there wasn't talent?

CaliWG

8/18/16 5:39pm

The most encouraging thing about that lineup: Shelton

mantis mutu

8/18/16 5:29pm

I wouldn't expect Shelton in the 2 Deep

CaliWG

8/18/16 5:43pm

Right now we are talking about potential. I will reserve the hype machine for

shakinbaker

8/18/16 6:41pm

Wilcox at corner is interesting

Coop

8/18/16 5:30pm

5 years ago we all would have been thrilled to have Shelton as a starter.

Backcountry

8/18/16 5:30pm

Yes but remember the cbs other than Davis are young

I'mBatman

8/18/16 5:33pm

Juco DBs seem to transition fairly well to D1 ball. That helps.

southernfriedcougar

8/18/16 5:39pm

especially if they actually show up (*cough* Eddie Scipio and Walt Williams)!

icecougar

8/18/16 6:13pm

Bronco deserves a lot of credit here

Incidentally, so does Howell.

2001 Brandon Heaney and Jennaro Gilford were a really good pair too...

icecougar

8/18/16 6:09pm

2012 was awesome - Jordan Johnson, Preston Hadley, Danny Sorensen, Joe Sampson

Coop

8/18/16 6:40pm

Those four in the secondary, and Ziggy and KVN rushing the QB.

dilbert

8/18/16 7:08pm

And Hadley, Ogletree and Kaveinga. And Manu. Great squad.

8/18/16 7:14pm

Depth was a problem but I think the biggest problem was Ken Schmidt

Who cares. I agree. Just trying to explain to this guy what caliwg might be

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 8:15am

Kudos on the backfield talent!

ZooBlue

8/18/16 7:37pm

No what's silly is that you somehow think 8 out of 10 guys doesn't constitute a "vast majority"

CoachSpeak

8/18/16 7:50pm

That's what you think....

The former staff appears to deserve a lot of credit back there

8/18/16 7:31pm

I disagree

CaliWG

Warner only waivered cause Bronco left.

Agreed. I would have like to have seen Preator come back. It's too bad because I

FierceArc

wait, the only scheme he has played in is broncos scheme

gmj81

8/18/16 8:14pm

I guess it should read he'd do better in another scheme focused on man to man.

FierceArc

Let's see how they do. Optimisitic, but 5 of 7 have never played a game at CB at

Hope so. IMO none have really done much yet except Nacua.

Bronco had way too many LB, which is why the DB cupboard was barren
