I wouldn't be so high on Wilcox just yet

I'mBatman All-American

Frankly he got burned a lot in coverage and tackled poorly even if he's a true freshman. He's got a lot of improving to do and time to do it.

Great news! Secondary is shaping up nicely

Picked us over a late offer from Vanderbilt

Vandy going all the way to plumb SD has gotta be good, right?

mantis mutu

1/24/17 5:44pm

Is getting a player away from Vandy a plus?

TeeKaa

1/24/17 6:01pm

A DB??? Absolutely! Let's not forget who we are & where we're at.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 6:03pm

We're BYU and, by the consideration of a lot of the CFB world,

We still struggle mightily w non-LDS black recruits. But I agree it is getting

mantis mutu

Um, I think that's why he asked the question.

Vandy does play in the SEC and is a valuable degree

donnerstag

1/24/17 6:03pm

Vandy is an awesome degree.

HoustonCougar

Vandy actually usually has some very very good players, they

Nice.

So glad we got this dude. Going to be a special player.

Jacobson & the yewt transfer too. Both have starting talent, I think.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 5:55pm

Garrett England as well.

cougaman

1/24/17 6:07pm

I hope he bulks up & moves to OLB. He struck me as a rather marginal recruit

mantis mutu

1/24/17 6:15pm

Some are saying he has great speed. So which is it?

Ash

1/24/17 6:28pm

Honest question

VirginiaYewt

1/24/17 9:35pm

LB, and he was doing OK at Dline as well imo. Just look at all the Dline coming

cougaman

VirginiaYewt

1/25/17 9:36am

I guess he did OK recruiting TE, but they did a horrible job developing them.

cougaman

1/25/17 9:40am

DB is looking very good for us the next 3-4 yrs. I'm guessing from his tweet

TriggerWarning

1/24/17 5:32pm

He's not LDS

donnerstag

1/24/17 5:39pm

I'll take that as a soft no then

cougaman

1/24/17 5:39pm

Plans to become LDS?

TriggerWarning

1/24/17 5:43pm

You'll have to ask Jason Franchuk.

DB Cooper

1/24/17 5:46pm

Or the OP could say, "With no plans to become LDS, Gunter to become a Cougar".

How TNT has not been banned all these years for multiple accounts is beyond me

darkcoug

1/24/17 5:43pm

Correct

TNT

1/24/17 7:00pm

Love the attitude & passion he plays with, BUT

mantis mutu

1/24/17 5:39pm

Possible redshirt?

cougaman

1/24/17 5:40pm

I hope so. Maybe a greyshirt, too. His raw potential is definitely not

mantis mutu

1/24/17 5:42pm

Definitely not a greyshirt. He's a scholarship player.

YIsForBrigham

1/24/17 7:14pm

I would say long with the ability to be strong. Currently his measurables show a Bench of 210 and squat of only 305.

indocoug

1/25/17 5:55am

Power (overall strength) doesn't always translate onto specific muscle lifts.

mantis mutu

1/25/17 2:40pm

I love the helmet in the bottom right, looks different

Stucoug83

1/24/17 5:46pm

Whew! Glad it's him and not who I was thinking about

Niiineteeen84

1/24/17 5:46pm

BYU needs more playaers named D'Angelo.

Chester Copperpot

1/24/17 5:51pm

Awesome! I thought he was leaning Vandy. Great get.

Tygger

1/24/17 5:54pm

Love Bronco & staff, but that was not a battle they woulda won.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 6:02pm

why do you even say stuff you know nothing about

coolblue

1/24/17 7:28pm

I know plenty about the recruiting of Bronco & his staff.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 9:24pm

He took an OV there, but I don't think he was ever a Vandy lean

Adrielle

1/24/17 6:47pm

I've seen him play, and he's fast. May need some skill training, but fast.

byujdmba

1/24/17 6:09pm

He seems to even have potential as a OLB if DBing doesn't work out.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 6:19pm

It's been a couple years since I've seen him but he was too skinny for LB then.

byujdmba

1/24/17 6:34pm

IF he moves, he moves to S or WR. I think he sticks at CB.

Tygger

1/24/17 6:48pm

He looks like a multi-year starter from his video

HoustonCougar

1/24/17 6:35pm

Dude plays physical. I like it.

I'mBatman

1/24/17 6:55pm

Wow. Wasn't this guy more of a long shot?

TNT

1/24/17 7:00pm

Not really. He has upper class athleticism for a BYU DB. He needs to be coached up but he has the talent to be

YIsForBrigham

1/24/17 7:04pm

Is he as raw as Wilcox last year? Is he as fast?

cougaman

1/24/17 7:07pm

He's not as fast on the track, but it's close. And I don't know how they compare in football speed. He's not as raw

YIsForBrigham

1/24/17 7:13pm

Wilcox is fast. I'm really hoping for Smith as well, who is just as fast as

cougaman

1/24/17 7:43pm

Wilcox was a productive prep FB player who was understandably rusty

mantis mutu

1/24/17 8:26pm

I wouldn't be so high on Wilcox just yet

I'mBatman

1/24/17 8:59pm

He was a project that was asked to do too much as a Fr, and was burned by teams

cougaman

1/24/17 9:06pm

A RS Frosh--one year removed--who played primarily QB in HS.

mantis mutu

1/24/17 9:15pm

Simon played mostly QB. Wilcox was a safety in high school, and I would love to see him move

indocoug

1/25/17 10:40am

It's way too soon to cast a verdict on him I think. Pretty sure he was a star

mantis mutu

1/25/17 2:43pm

No, he was not a qb.

indocoug

1/25/17 10:21pm

He might be good one day

I'mBatman

1/25/17 8:45pm

A lot of people here have written him off because he struggled last year.

cougaman

1/25/17 9:29pm

His quickness might not be up to snuff for corner, I fear. I'll admit.

mantis mutu

1/27/17 6:07pm

I like how physical he plays for his size. If he can fill out a little then he
