Francis Bernard?

riboflavin

10/18/17 12:31pm

Won't he have to sit out another year if he did?

Huge Manatee

10/18/17 12:31pm

Will he graduate from BYU this year? Seems unlikely....

Indy Coug

10/18/17 12:32pm

There is a way it could happen without him sitting another year.

wcj99

10/18/17 11:19pm

So, he wants to sit out yet another year after this one? Would be a dumb move.

Coug Eastwood

10/18/17 12:31pm

Maybe he thinks he can get a waiver.

riboflavin

10/18/17 12:32pm

I imagine Kyle thinks he can get him one.

KWhitt's got pics on somebody at the NCAA offices.

Can you blame him? Let's be real...

letthewookiewin

10/18/17 12:36pm

I would blame him for wanting to sit out his junior year just to still transfer. But that's me.

mulletino

That's a good point.

Yes.

Where did you get your information?

Clark Addison

10/18/17 1:50pm

Kalani didn’t deny that. You have bad information.

The Dude Abides

10/18/17 2:37pm

After what he did and said, it's going to take a lot

Cougrrrs Roll

10/18/17 1:21pm

Yeah I'm sympathetic to most who have HC problems

shakarocks

10/18/17 2:41pm

Yeah he earned it, but to me I'm kind of like....not really any of my business.

YardTime

10/23/17 12:23pm

If he wants to leave BYU, he really should set his sights higher. He is good

BYUtka

10/18/17 12:44pm

No better NFL prep than a Utah defense

johnnycarson

10/18/17 12:49pm

Lots of better places.

10/18/17 1:03pm

Better teams, yes. But if he wants to play in the NFL,

CObluezone

10/18/17 5:22pm

I think suggesting that Utah is FB's best non-BYU option is pretty laughable.

BYUtka

10/18/17 5:34pm

I thought it was already decided that he was leaving

NachoCougar

10/18/17 12:49pm

He would then pay his own way in 2018 have to sit out

BigYfan

10/18/17 12:50pm

What does "visited Ute football" even mean? There's zero chance Utah coaches

Scratch

10/18/17 12:51pm

I think they could talk to him if BYU coaches okayed it, right?

riboflavin

10/18/17 12:53pm

That's right, but I think that's unlikely given Kalani wouldn't release him, but

Scratch

10/18/17 12:55pm

Then again I don't see him in BYU's student directory (if I'm using it right on

Scratch

10/18/17 12:56pm

He's not in there. He might have been suspended by HC office.

displacedute

10/18/17 1:33pm

Why do you say Kalani wouldn't release him? That's speculation.

riboflavin

10/18/17 12:56pm

lol. kalani wouldn't release him? its cute you believe that crap. i expect

smokymountainrain

10/18/17 1:01pm

Don't know if he eventually released him, but initially he would not release

Scratch

10/18/17 1:09pm

link?

riboflavin

10/18/17 1:10pm

Here you go. Kalani didn't release him until it was way too late to transfer

Scratch

10/23/17 12:01pm

Can't release a player that hasn't asked to be released.

Left Shark Coug

10/23/17 12:05pm

Like he did before the season started?

Scratch

10/23/17 12:08pm

Like your coach has never talked a kid into staying. Bernard chose to stay.

Left Shark Coug

10/23/17 12:10pm

He wasn't given a chance. Giving someone a release isn't the same thing as

Scratch

10/23/17 12:14pm

Dude, you're pathetically making crap up. Go to your own board where you might

Left Shark Coug

10/23/17 12:18pm

Bernard's brother said that he had requested a release before the season.

Scratch

10/23/17 12:22pm

A release to go to Utah, a team we were playing in three weeks? That Utah?

Left Shark Coug

10/23/17 12:30pm

Francis didn't ask for a transfer before the season started. Go spread fake news on your team's website.

HarlemCoug

Yes he did. His brother confirmed it and Tuiaki even discussed it.

Fakenews. Didn't happen.

HarlemCoug

10/23/17 6:28pm

"Given that Kalani wouldn't release him". Hahahha.

Wedgetail

10/18/17 1:09pm

No, he would have to be released from the school...

Coug

10/18/17 1:06pm

dont think that's true:

riboflavin

Interesting... Thanks for clarifying.

Coug

10/18/17 1:17pm

That ship sailed about 6 weeks ago

donnerstag

10/18/17 1:06pm

I don't think he would have to sit out a year, because he is this year.

jsjohnson1278

10/18/17 1:09pm

Does the NCAA really care if he's redshirting or not?

Indy Coug

10/18/17 1:14pm

no. but he may be able to get a waiver IMO.

riboflavin

10/18/17 1:16pm

Doesn't he have to demonstrate some kind of hardship?

Huge Manatee

10/18/17 1:17pm

Can't he show them highlights of the first seven games this season?

Go_Trojans

10/18/17 2:02pm

Not sure he's enrolled so is sitting out this year.

Turnpike Lane

10/18/17 1:19pm

Hasn't he been traveling with the team?

slowhiteguy

10/18/17 1:21pm

He was on the sideline the first 3 games at least

donnerstag

10/18/17 1:41pm

Since then he has been on the sideline wearing a paper bag over his head.

MoscowCoug

10/18/17 1:51pm

He's on scholarship this year. He would have to sit out another year.

wilsdad

10/18/17 1:50pm

He's not on scholarship if he's not enrolled (nothing for them to pay)

displacedute

10/18/17 1:59pm

I thought he was enrolled in classes

GOR

10/18/17 3:00pm

He's not in the student directory.

displacedute

10/18/17 3:11pm

classes are a different thing. he didn't get kicked out of school.

riboflavin

10/18/17 4:50pm

Right, I was responding to GOR saying he was enrolled.

displacedute

10/18/17 5:14pm

Not every student shows up online

Littlerich

10/18/17 7:18pm

With the number of games that he's been at I'd be surprised if he's not enrolled

wilsdad

10/18/17 3:03pm

Has anyone noticed him on the BYU sideline recently? I don't

Going to Utah would be a wonderful opportunity for him

buckles

If it's a foregone conclusion that he's leaving he oughta go to SUU and ball out

Cashmeousside

10/18/17 8:56pm

I think he had to go to a division III school if he doesn't want to sit a year

displacedute

Players can transfer down to the FCS and play right away

CougarWildcat

10/19/17 2:18am

I think all the transfer rules are the same between division I schools.

displacedute

10/19/17 6:23am

D1 FCS is considered a drop down from FBS
