He wouldn't say huge, probably bigger than big, so "large".

Rise Against

Would BlueFrog consider him "Nephi" large?

ByuMba90

If he had just graduated HS? Yes

And I said it was a big get.

BlueFrog

6/20/17 5:22pm

You're attempting to down play a 4* MLB recruit that transferred to BYU.

Rise Against

Probably the kid who transferred from USC 6-8 years ago.

Two years, started all 26 games he played for BYU. Great starting LB for us on the fantastic 2012 defense.

He probably wasn't impressed with playing your rival.

If he was just rated a 4 star, (or high 3) then yes. Huge. But I am always a

That's life for most of our players. No reason to downplay him

I can downplay him how I want. I said he is a big get.

It's your prerogative to be unnecessarily negative
