Good point. Arrogance in recruiting goes both ways.

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

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

Hank Rearden

8/9/18 11:21am

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

ReggaeCoug

8/9/18 11:32am

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.

WanderingCougar

He did the dance!

SJS

8/9/18 10:48am

He did the dance

PJMort

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

Yunit

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

8/9/18 10:56am

TPcoug

8/9/18 10:57am

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

NewMexiCoug

8/9/18 11:10am

Fotu's brother..

TheLost

8/9/18 10:55am

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

mokelembembe

8/9/18 10:50am

Pita Taumoepenu

mokelembembe

8/9/18 10:51am

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.

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

TheLost

Star committed to BYU out of high school.

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

Just in High School, not again as a JUCO.
