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

think the upcoming crop have body types and skill sets more suited to the type of offense Ty wants to run. Lots of smaller guys with more compact frames that will presumably let them get in and out of breaks faster than the Kurtz/Matthews/Houks of the world.

We'll see though- they will get a quick introduction to big time P5 DBs with LSU, UU and Wisconsin early on.

How good will our WR corps be this year?

The coaches are all really big on Shumway and Simon

7/9/17 7:52pm

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

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

SD-Y-FAN

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

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

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

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

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

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

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