He might be good one day

My point is he wasn't good last year and we shouldn't just assume he'll be good in time. The jury's still out. He has to put in a lot of work and time. There's been plenty of guys who didn't look good as a freshman and later flamed out or transferred. He could just as likely be one of those type.

Cougs get Gunter.

Great news! Secondary is shaping up nicely

1/24/17 5:25pm

Picked us over a late offer from Vanderbilt

donnerstag

1/24/17 5:27pm

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,

1/24/17 8:53pm

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

mantis mutu

1/24/17 9:11pm

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

chilango

Vandy does play in the SEC and is a valuable degree

donnerstag

1/24/17 6:03pm

Vandy is an awesome degree.

1/24/17 6:25pm

Vandy actually usually has some very very good players, they

deljdc

Nice.

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

1/24/17 5:31pm

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

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

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

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?

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".

ONE OF THE BEST RADIO PERSONALITIES OF OUR GENERATION! SEE YA' WRUBELL!

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.

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

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

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

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

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
