Straight from the horse's Mouth - Empey

On a flight from Amsterdam to SLC right now. Just saw Elder Empey coming home from his mission in Portugal. Just asked him if he was coming to BYU and he confirmed "YES!"

I know we all assumed he was coming, but it was cool to meet him and hear it straight from him.

I have photographic evidence too!

Awesome news for our O-line group! Not that I don't believe you, but can I see

Here it is

And clear photographic evidence of how beneficial a two year mission is to the physical development of BYU athletes!

No touching

Thanks for the pic Steve. He is huge.

Always a good thing when we steal one from the utes

But they didn't want him anyway.

5/23/17 4:47am

Because of his 4.5 40 time?

(Private)

5/23/17 8:26am

Nice, offers from Washington, Oregon St, Boise St

Dude. Leave the poor kid alone. He only has one shot at the "What they're saying

5/23/17 5:09am

Well played, sir.

Roko's Basilisk

This is awesome. Is he a tackle or guard?

NacoCoug

5/23/17 5:12am

My personal hope is that he takes over after tejan at center

5/23/17 6:19am

He said he'd play at Guard or Center

Baerman

5/23/17 2:32pm

Did we ever find out why he chose Utah in the first place?

Bronco

midlandcoug

5/23/17 7:03am

Well, bronco didn't retain his dad as coach

5/23/17 7:04am

I have doubts that is the real reason

Seasider

5/23/17 7:43am

It's all a part it. One reason out of a few.

5/23/17 11:48am

That sig pic is dope!

Ktar

False. Crowton hired Grimes in 2004 who Bronco retained in 2005.

Empey is better

5/23/17 2:36pm

OK.

gmj81

5/23/17 2:39pm

I think he is. Grimes was very good but empey has as good of a track record

5/23/17 3:03pm

Grimes has at times been the highest paid OL coach in NCAA

gmj81

5/23/17 3:13pm

OK, and that's great. I just strongly disagree

5/23/17 3:21pm

I like Empey way more than any O-Line coach we've had since Grimes

Lance71

5/23/17 6:13pm

Might want to re-read what he wrote so it makes sense.

5/23/17 2:40pm

I'm not saying they should have been happy about it.

gmj81

5/23/17 2:53pm

So what are we arguing about

5/23/17 3:05pm

Unless he was ready to be an OC/WR coach, there wasn't a spot on the staff

gmj81

5/23/17 3:16pm

Of course he was retained in his position

5/23/17 3:20pm

Anae had experience with OL and TE, not WR. Grimes was already OL and a good one

gmj81

5/23/17 3:26pm

I think that we are still talking around each other

5/23/17 3:39pm

Um, Anae did not have TE experience.

5/23/17 3:42pm

And it was mostly just to fill a position of need

5/23/17 3:45pm

I don't know about easily

gmj81

5/23/17 4:03pm

Again, just talking around each other here

5/23/17 4:08pm

So what was "false." You've kinda taken this in a whole other direction.

5/23/17 3:20pm

He claims he couldn't be retained because new coaches were brought in

5/23/17 3:22pm

now that they lost 4 OL's to the NFL

Poor Whit was waiting with a cake at SLC airport in his bright yellow Nikes

the Amsterdam-SLC direct flight is a great one

korihor

5/23/17 11:48am

That's my favorite flight for getting home from Europe.

5/23/17 12:19pm

Now you've done it. Revealing where to be in the airport to Whitt.
