really is. leaves on mission in summer of 18. returns summer of 20. redshirts (or grayshirts) the 20 season and battles

What a long strange trip...

Smart. Keeps his options open to see what coaches are where, and what scheme they are running in 2020.

Doesn't make a difference if you're a sign and send. You're still a free agent

1/2/18 4:29pm

But if you sign a LOI you still have to sit out a year if you transfer after the

Not if you don't enroll before you go on your mission.

He signed a new loi after he got home.

molodyets

1/2/18 4:36pm

Then decided he wanted to go to BYU instead.

molodyets

1/2/18 4:36pm

That's what I thought but someone claims he said he didn't

1/2/18 5:05pm

Nope. Plenty of guys have flipped after missions even though they signed.

I think it allows BYU to be in touch in a more appropriate manner with his

Coach and Coordinator that recruit him have 50/50 odds of even being at that

It doesn't technically make a difference, but it in reality it will be easier to bring him back into the fold if he

So when did that version of the rules take effect?

This doesn't change anything.

True, but if he was set on a school, he would have committed.

LifeLongLakerFan

BYU can land him with a couple of good years and

Only helps for sure

See, this brings me great hope

Another good thing for us is that Shaw is on the short list for several NFL

Millhouse

1/2/18 4:56pm

Of course that probably leaves Anderson as the coach

Nat Gas Man

1/2/18 4:58pm

He would not likely be near the top of their list.

Cougstreak

1/2/18 5:58pm

why not, they like to promote from inside the family

Nat Gas Man

1/3/18 9:56am

No way, he is not on many lists at all.

Cougstreak

1/3/18 11:09am

Provo, Utah mission? Heads would explode... I'd smile.

Pride

1/2/18 4:57pm

Yup. Agreed. As soon as I saw this I thought he's leaving the BYU door open.

indojoe

1/2/18 5:36pm

Totally agree... He wants to see how things shake out at the Y.

cougarnw

Just guarantees he gets a TON of mail on his mission.

Cougarclaw

1/2/18 5:56pm

Why don’t most mission first guys do this? Harder to guarantee that they’d even

Resurgens

I think will start being the new trend.

BYUHgrad

1/2/18 7:36pm

The question is what other schools besides BYU will put up with it?

SpudCoug

1/2/18 7:50pm

True. My disclaimer is that this will be the new way of doing things

BYUHgrad

1/2/18 8:14pm

True, but I also think fewer 4 and 5 star guys will go on missions.

Lip Gallagher

1/2/18 8:16pm

It’s not 100% now. I think the same % will go each year.

BYUHgrad

1/2/18 8:19pm

How many is that in a given year though?

Lip Gallagher

1/2/18 8:24pm

Those schools will pass on those kids anyway for serving in the first place

molodyets

1/2/18 8:22pm

Sure but he's one of the top recruits in the nation. It's easy for him to

Lip Gallagher

1/2/18 8:15pm

Probably some tradition with alot of kids who went to school one year before

crack

1/2/18 8:02pm

How many of his offers will be willing

BYU4eVeR

1/2/18 8:20pm

It's not keeping it open. It's treating him as a 2020 recruit

molodyets

1/2/18 8:23pm

Win and Tanner signs with BYU after his LDS mission

Heinz57

1/2/18 8:40pm

I think we also need the right scheme

Didn't recognize him without his floppy bucket hat

ColoSpgs

1/2/18 8:45pm

Don't know about anyone else but I'm done worrying about high profile QBs.

Ash

1/2/18 9:24pm

I think every QB should do this.
