Yep, to help with his lack of quickness they’re having him cut significant weigh

That means that he’s losing the one thing that made him an intriguing prospect: his freakish size. He’s supposedly lost 50 pounds with plans to drop even more weight. Pretty soon he’s no longer heavier than other prospects you can go find throughout the country who’ve actually been playing football their entire lives.

Sounds like a wasted scholarship.

I'd be upset if we didn't give him at least 3 years.

We have wasted scholarships on people with much less potential.

Freakish size and/or speed are good reasons to gamble a schollie

Ziggy is a once in a lifetime story

If we are only taking a really wild flyer on 1 out of 85 guys, I'm OK with it

Mo could be that same story. The potential is based on his freakish size and

I’ve heard it’s his quickness.

Mathew

His acceleration and change of direction are bad

Which proves my point. Only these men made it to the next level.

Sorry, but they aren't cutting Mo after one injury-filled year — as long as he's doing

Indy Coug

Don’t apologize. The embarrassment will be on BYU football, not the fans.

I agree that we shouldn't write off Mo yet but let's not compare to Ziggy

Or maybe one to help get future recruits from his area. Investment schollies happen.

Why?

A true frosh RM who got reps is a wasted scholarship? Better than many

Ricks would have been great for Mo.

Mo has freakish size and power. He needs to develop some quicks. This is doable.

My guess is Bronco's offer had to do with what happened with Taumoepenu

Mo Langi's training should be on Offense,not defense

OL takes a much higher understanding of football than DL. He's also just too big

Not at left tackle? I think he's light enough on his feet to pull it off
