Ngata decides to play for BYU

The answering machine at Haloti Ngata's home will now say, "Haloti's going to BYU. Thank you for calling." Now he and his parents hope all the recruiting calls stop.

The All-Decommit team from BYU

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:38am

What makes me even sadder are all the legacy BYU kids playing big roles at Utah

CougarBacker

8/9/18 10:40am

Who? Specifically.

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:41am

Bradlee Anae, Britain Covey, Matt Gay, Chase Hansen, Samson Nacua

CougarBacker

8/9/18 10:53am

Say it with me...Samson was never coming to BYU. NEVER.

Adrielle

8/9/18 1:13pm

Him and the academics/Honor Code were not a good match.

LifelongAP

8/9/18 1:15pm

Say it with me.. You need better reading comprehension because I never said

CougarBacker

8/9/18 1:30pm

I was supporting you’re statement, chief.

LifelongAP

8/9/18 3:32pm

Notice I wasn't responding to you Champ?

CougarBacker

8/9/18 4:18pm

Wait, hold on. I'm lost. Which one of you is 'Champ" and which one is 'Chief'?

Sugar Mr. Poon

8/9/18 4:27pm

Good question. Maybe one of us is bud or pal or even tiger...

CougarBacker

8/9/18 8:22pm

Is Hansen from a BYU family? Or is he included because he’s white and active LDS

LifelongAP

8/9/18 1:13pm

I think his parents attended the Y.

displacedute

8/9/18 1:16pm

Dad, Uncle, Cousin all played for BYU football.

displacedute

8/9/18 1:17pm

Wow. Then that is a huge loss on our part. Product of that generation watching

LifelongAP

8/9/18 1:21pm

More a product of the coaches being pissy and arrogant.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/9/18 1:32pm

Well....1 coach...

Lance71

8/9/18 4:23pm

Or honest? Yewts offered as QB; we didn't. Wanted him as...Safety. Go figure.

swamp yankee

8/9/18 5:45pm

Good point. Arrogance in recruiting goes both ways.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/10/18 4:35pm

I failed Cougar Nation with Hansen

Trent

8/9/18 2:36pm

Thanks a lot, man!

bluegato

8/9/18 9:31pm

Also, I don't think Samson ever committed to BYU....I could be wrong on that one but I don't think so.

Adrielle

8/9/18 4:12pm

Dude! What's your deal? I didn't say any of them committed to BYU. I simply said

CougarBacker

8/9/18 4:20pm

Fair enough...I won't assumed that was what you meant.

Adrielle

8/9/18 8:24pm

That is a tough one to swallow.

Zedhead

8/9/18 11:08am

did Mique ever commit to BYU?

Nat Gas Man

8/9/18 10:40am

Nope, He was considering us but never pulled the trigger.

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:42am

Porter Gustin (although don't know how close we were).

TheLoneCougar

8/9/18 10:41am

Byu never even offered..

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:43am

There's needs to be an asterisk next to that.

Heavily MeDeekated

8/9/18 4:36pm

He never commit, so couldn't decommit.

Turnpike Lane

8/9/18 10:43am

True. Awkward to commit if you're not offered.

cougarnw

8/9/18 10:59am

Remember this?

Crowd Factor

8/9/18 12:26pm

That was never gonna happen. BYU was not going to offer and he was more

Just a small tear. Only out 2-4 weeks.

ReggaeCoug

Did Ngata commit to BYU?

cougaman

8/9/18 10:43am

That's who I was thinking of. He has to be on the list if he committed.

Yes after committing to Nebraska first.

Belboz

8/9/18 11:42am

Ngata comes to BYU and Crowton would have had extra years

Trent

8/9/18 2:37pm

I don't think he did commit. I was pretty good buddies with him in High School

TheLoneCougar

8/9/18 6:27pm

He verbally committed after Vai Sikahema visited his home. Before that he was

Aren’t they going to be sad when they don’t get playing time at bama

Kingfisher

8/9/18 10:45am

Also can include the DE/OLB that just signed with Utah in the fall. Can't

cougaman

8/9/18 10:49am

Mika Tafua. I thought about him but hes technically a transfer

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:50am

Did he ever enroll at BYU?

cougaman

8/9/18 10:52am

I dont think so. He singed an LOI though.

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:54am

I think they should count if they never enrolled

cougaman

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:57am

This one hurts the most. He committed as a sophomore, stayed loyal the next 3

NewMexiCoug

Fotu's brother..

TheLost

8/9/18 10:55am

Some of those announced transfers/non-transfers should count......

mokelembembe

Pita Taumoepenu

mokelembembe

Yep. Pita for sure. Now on an NFL roster

SlantRoute

Didn't Manti Te'o commit to BYU?

Tevita Fotu and as others have mentioned, Mika Tafua

displacedute

8/9/18 11:01am

I now just remembered Davion Orphey was committed to BYU

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:06am

He was a solid player.

displacedute

8/9/18 11:09am

I agree. He was just the other one that I had remembered in the last 5 years

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:11am

Didn't Jake Murphy commit to BYU too?

Frank Castiglione

8/9/18 11:10am

Yes, went to Utah because BYU didnt have a scholly for him. He didnt decommitt

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:12am

Murphy's parents definitely could have paid his way at BYU for a semester.

displacedute

8/9/18 11:18am

Irrelevant. He would have played there if there was a scholly available

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:21am

No, he wouldn't have.

displacedute

8/9/18 11:25am

I know Jake personally yes, he would have. Same situation as Taysom and Stanford

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:28am

Okay.

Jake picked the Yewts for free over BYU and paying $4,000. it sucks for us.

If he hadn't come home early he would have gone to BYU.

CougarBreath

Most on that list we didn't "narrowly miss out on."

Pita T and Star.

BYUButters

8/9/18 11:24am

Id argue the same thing as Jake Murphy on these. They would have played

TPcoug

8/9/18 11:27am

Pita would have been eligible at BYU.

Love that byu has reportedly allowed one non qualifier

Much of what you claim is incorrect and Ute wishful thinking.

And this is the difference between a top 25 team and a sucky one.

Hawk Talons

8/9/18 12:25pm

Yea.. because nobody decommits from a top 25 team

Did Star Lotulelei officially commit to BYU before he joined Utah?

Just in High School, not again as a JUCO.
