Brutal D-Line recruiting past five years

BoiseBlue

10/28/14 11:17am

I think Reden left the program

donnerstag

10/28/14 11:20am

yep, and he was one who Bronco said

I'mBatman

10/28/14 12:46pm

How many other guys has Bronco said that about

I was going back through the lists looking for "busts".......

BoiseBlue

10/28/14 4:16pm

You pegged some things but I think the one big flaw with his approach is...

icecougar

10/28/14 8:37pm

He said Iona Pritchard was like Mananse Tonga...I haven't even heard his name

saltlakecoug1

10/28/14 4:42pm

He transferred to Oregon St.

SCcoug

10/28/14 4:48pm

Recruiting on both O and D lines has been awful

donnerstag

10/28/14 11:22am

Brandon Doman has mentioned on a few occassions

RockyBalboa

10/28/14 11:31am

RE: Yep. Doman's recruiting was lacking. That's for sure.

very insightful

TK4D

10/28/14 11:22am

do we return anyone from missions this offseason?

TK4D

10/28/14 11:23am

Here's the list

donnerstag

10/28/14 11:25am

Personally I think Johnson and Tuiloma have been more than servicable

newbie

10/28/14 11:26am

They have been okay at times, but the lack of pass rush makes up for anything

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/28/14 11:30am

NT is not supposed to pass rush - although these are the only two that have

newbie

10/28/14 11:38am

Yeah, I was talking about the group as a whole.

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/28/14 11:46am

Not really their job. They are supposed to contain so that the LBs get most of

Bob Vance

10/28/14 2:03pm

Although...if your NT can collapse the pocket by pressure up the middle.....

Bonoman

10/28/14 12:16pm

In a 3-4 defense they are supposed to merely plug holes and take

saltlakecoug1

10/28/14 4:45pm

I think serviceable is about the right word...

icecougar

10/28/14 8:41pm

We took our best playmaker of that group and moved him out of position. smh

Epileptic Beagle

10/28/14 11:28am

I've said it a million times on here: This is the worst d-line in BYU history.

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

10/28/14 11:29am

In history? Did you follow the team much in the early 90s?

shoganai

10/29/14 8:56pm

Here is another problem regarding the DL and that is lack of JUCO

BYUfan92

10/28/14 11:29am

Totally agree.

flavordave

10/28/14 11:38am

We recruited Delva, just didn't get him.

JDBlue

10/28/14 1:06pm

This year has really exposed Bronco's system - journeyman D lineman

Coug Dude

10/28/14 2:55pm

Or is it simply these guys don't want BYU, we probably wanted them.

saltlakecoug1

10/28/14 4:46pm

Not sure, I dont know if we offered or not, only we didnt get them

BYUfan92

10/28/14 6:08pm

Taumata Tofi and Kaumatule will be back for next season. I think our 3-4 system

pinolero

10/28/14 11:31am

A few more:

flavordave

10/28/14 11:36am

I don't recognize Taamuta who is he?

SCcoug

10/28/14 11:37am

Olumua is now at a JC in Arizona, I bet he ends up at a DI School next year.

pinolero

10/28/14 11:50am

absolutely correct

I'mBatman

10/28/14 12:43pm

With Utah routinely sending D-linemen to the NFL

afro

10/28/14 1:47pm

I think the issue is the scheme

donnerstag

10/28/14 1:58pm

Agree. The scheme is antiquated, and useless against spread option teams...

bluefish

10/28/14 2:18pm

But I thought the scheme was phenomenal ...

vegas guey

10/28/14 2:20pm

That's a good point, however

afro

10/28/14 2:20pm

Mix the schemes.....

Heinz57

10/28/14 2:24pm

Or look at the other side

jhingman

JDBlue

10/28/14 4:50pm

I think you nailed it.

wilsdad

10/28/14 2:32pm

But....but pittsburghcoug told is it is coaching....

idacoug

10/28/14 2:02pm

Then do a better job recruiting.

slowhiteguy

10/28/14 2:09pm

It is both. Which all falls back on the head coach.

whoneedscorners?

10/28/14 3:52pm

We need good coaching brah

coug79

10/28/14 2:12pm

"Incomprehensible reasons" lol. Like much of Broncos stuff.

10/28/14 2:38pm

When you can't recruit speed, both sides of the line should become your focus

dannyboyobx

10/28/14 2:41pm

agreed on this 100%. Not sure why the OL/DL recruiting has been poor

jhingman

10/28/14 3:51pm

Ever heard of a dude named Weber?

southernfriedcougar

10/28/14 3:55pm

I think 2J has the potential to recruit some solid OL for us

jhingman

10/28/14 8:23pm

sadly it's not all up to him.

southernfriedcougar

10/28/14 11:50pm

LB and Safety recruiting has been an emphasis in Bronco's "phenomenal system"...

icecougar

10/29/14 1:20pm

it's worked for BYU in the past

icecougar

10/29/14 12:07pm

Pulsipher is an OL recruit for us isn't he?

southernfriedcougar

Can't afford to keep giving these Utah kids scholarships

GeraldGarner

10/29/14 4:59am

2012 - Taumata Tofi is on a mission and I think will be very solid.

ag4cougs

Another feather in Bronco's cap
