they left on a mission. Plus alot of them probably want to have a hat ceremony with friends/teammates that are signing and going straight to school.

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

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.

Joe Tukuafu didn't enroll at USU, but had to sit out a year after his mission

Broda

He signed a new loi after he got home.

Then decided he wanted to go to BYU instead.

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

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

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

This doesn't change anything.

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

BYU can land him with a couple of good years and

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.

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

Cougarclaw

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

I think will start being the new trend.

BYUHgrad

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

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

Win and Tanner signs with BYU after his LDS mission

I think we also need the right scheme

Didn't recognize him without his floppy bucket hat

ColoSpgs

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

Ash

I think every QB should do this.
