PKCoug Walk-on

Not saying it won't happen. But considering he was in the same recruiting class as Nacua it would be funny to see just how far apart their time at BYU could be.

Potential redshirt candidates this season include

Just a note re: Brady Christensen

Does he look 240?

CrimWalCoug

6/19/17 11:04pm

yes, tall and big, and maintains that he still can move as well as before. We

Shoaf made we rethink some of my mandatories for RM OL last year.

He was fun to watch."unorthodox" was a word I heard a player use to describe him

BYUFBDAD

6/19/17 11:31pm

As in "white chocolate" unorthodox.

mantis mutu

6/19/17 11:32pm

Man... I've really slacked off on following recruiting barely know any of those

As you get older you realize how dumb it is to make watching 22 year olds

The coaches have to be careful not to RS too many

CaliWG

Others potentially could include:

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 8:11am

A ton of those guys are expected to play.

Lip Gallagher

6/20/17 8:19am

Hence the "potentially could"

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 8:29am

I'm a big fan of getting non-LDS Frosh on the field in Year 1

CaliWG

6/20/17 8:40am

Agreed. Bronco even started to do that more near the end.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 8:42am

Wilstead was on his original list. Why would Hadley be RSing? Is he injured?

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 8:20am

Not a chance Hadley does. No reason at all. Jimenez is out for the season.

Lip Gallagher

6/20/17 8:23am

Has Jimenez been a big enough contributor to RS? We have a lot of OL talent coming in the next couple years.

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 8:26am

He blew out his knee though. He can't play this yr regardless, so they'll RS him

The Lone Star Cougar

6/20/17 8:37am

Maybe they will – but redshirts still take up scholarships so injury doesn't automatically = RS

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 8:57am

I could see it possibly changing because of the Hoge addition

Lip Gallagher

6/20/17 9:46am

and Empey

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 10:06am

It's true, but that'd be pretty cut-throat. He wasn't Kalani's recruit, though--

mantis mutu

6/20/17 10:18am

Cut-throat is yanking someone's scholarship after it's been promised. I don't see electing not to RS someone as being

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 10:29am

I could see a decent coach following that logic.

mantis mutu

6/20/17 10:36am

In any case, will be interesting to see what they do. The decision to RS (or not RS) Jimenez will tell us a lot about

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 10:46am

He wasn't really breaking the two deep for guard or tackle so they had him

Rise Against

6/20/17 10:52am

Hadley has a RS available. I think he'll go back to safety,

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 8:34am

Then what's all the thumb down stuff for?

Lip Gallagher

6/20/17 9:44am

No offense taken. I hear what you're saying.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 10:35am

I got you. Though Dye is only now a junior.

Lip Gallagher

6/20/17 11:51am

*still a Junior. He was a True Junior last year, but redshirted. Now a RS Jr.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 12:17pm

Haha that would actually be quite comical if England redshirts

PKCoug

6/20/17 8:43am

Good point. I don't think he will since he'll probably be the #3 Flash

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 8:46am

If England redshirted, he could be a 23 year old freshman next year.

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:02am

Do walk-ons get redshirt years?

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:03am

Yes. Every athlete has 5 years to complete eligibility once enrolled full time.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 11:14am

Mo Langi was rumored to be greyshirting this year? Any insight there?

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:07am

No, that would not be allowed. He'll be a redshirt.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 11:16am

Not necessarily. He could simply be a freshman who doesn't play at all.

SingleStrapBackpack

6/20/17 11:22am

Correct. And that's a redshirt year, whether or not they choose to claim it.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 11:28am

If a player is not good enough for the coaches to grant him a redshirt and let him be around for 5 years . . .

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:12am

That's an excellent point and you're correct. This is the direction Kalani has

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 11:19am

It's interesting because last year Inoke Lotulelei was on the Scout team but wasn't given a redshirt year.

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:50am

It's definitely interesting. Who's to say why that is?

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 12:16pm

Below are explanations why I didn't include each player in my original list.

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:43am

Walk-ons can definitely use a RS. 31 on the roster have done so.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 11:57am

Got it - thanks for the info.

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 11:58am

That's fair and I agree that many of them will see playing time.

Kalani4Prez

6/20/17 12:00pm

I think 10 from your list is a fair estimate.

CrimWalCoug

6/20/17 8:43pm

Hoge already redshirted at ND
