How good will our WR corps be this year?

Other than Trinnaman and Hifo, our other WRs are unproven, right? I was looking at the depth chart at WR today and I don't know what to expect. Trinnaman is good. Hifo has shown flashes. Shumway? Simon? Davis? All I've heard is that they are fast.

We don't have anyone really tall for Mangum to throw hail mary's too. Many of his long completions were 50/50 balls he threw up to Matthews or Kurtz.

How good will our WR corps be this year?

The coaches are all really big on Shumway and Simon

Definetly one of the worst receiving corps we have had in a while,

It seems like we have more speed, but no big target.

I'm hoping someone surprises but I wouldn't be shocked at all to hear

Grant Jones is tall. The coaches mentioned him on media day.

Agreed. It's not that we are small. Several WRs are 6-0 and taller. Also, we

Well now I'm confused as to what you're saying. Are you saying we have

It's not like back in the day where we had one guy at 6-1 and everyone else

Has Grant Jones ever been used as a receiver? Stats seem to say no.

here's to hoping

7/9/17 11:29pm

He played WR in HS played LB here

7/10/17 1:29am

I thought he meant "big" like feature target, not physically large.

7/9/17 10:26pm

Maybe, but based on the second paragraph of the OP I didn't think so

The fact that MLP wasn't deep is more on Taysom never throwing the deep ball.

here's to hoping

7/9/17 11:32pm

it wasn't that he wasn't deep, he just didn't catch what was thrown

ChinaFan

can you remember what games these passes came to MLP? I can only remember two

I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. While we lose a lot of production I

we had this tall guy, but he decided to stalk his girlfriend instead of play football.

ChinaFan

Lotululei is supposed to be good. Previously committed to UCLA.

Quacker

They will be just fine. Trinnamann will be a huge deep threat. All year long.

7/9/17 9:18pm

Moroni, Bushman and running backs must pick up slack!

PJMort

7/9/17 9:25pm

IOW BYU gets back to how they used to be.

7/9/17 9:53pm

Better than last year

MaxxPower

7/9/17 10:22pm

Remember how Juergens, one of our smallest receivers, caught one of our two

BlueForLife

Truth is, he was EASILY better than Matthews at tracking down an overhead pass

mantis mutu

7/9/17 11:27pm

Matthews was great his senior year at winning jump balls.

AFcoug7

7/10/17 7:21am

As long as they were in front of him. Running to the ball is something he did

mantis mutu

7/10/17 9:34am

You're repeating a myth and perpetuating a falsehood about Mangum throwing 50/50

Graig Swame

7/10/17 12:01am

Also, Mathews caught the Nebraska Hail Mary at his stomach. He didn't even use his height

7/10/17 12:45am

Makes you think people don't even watch football around the rest of the country

7/10/17 11:02am

I've said this several times but again most cbers don't really know sports.

Corps. Sorry, it's late and my OCD took over.

StalwartBraveTrue

7/10/17 12:07am

Please list the 50/50 balls he threw that Kurtz and Mathews bailed him out on

7/10/17 12:47am

Just watch this highlight video

AFcoug7

7/10/17 7:23am

Kurtz with one and Mathews with arguably six catches on 50/50 balls. Since that

basman

Many plays weren't shown

Hifo is unproven imo. He struggled all year and never really emerged as a...

icecougar

7/10/17 3:01am

He had a knack for getting open, but just didn't have chemistry with Taysom

AFcoug7

7/10/17 7:23am

Wasn't Hifo the one who bobbled passes until they were intercepted in the Utah

here's to hoping

7/10/17 7:48am

Yep. He was also wide open for a TD against

AFcoug7

Can't be worse than last year. Guaranteed. May have more drops but yards improve
