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.

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

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

Lip Gallagher

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

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.

ChinaFan

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.

Moroni, Bushman and running backs must pick up slack!

IOW BYU gets back to how they used to be.

Lip Gallagher

Better than last year

MaxxPower

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

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

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

Lip Gallagher

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.

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

YIsForBrigham

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

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

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