The Y's Insider All-American

1. LB (This position is scary thin for coming years)
2. WR (I like Romney and Hifo, but we need more playmakers with size and speed)
3. DE (We have the beef on the interior, but we need players who can pressure the QB and provide outside leverage)

Biggest recruiting needs for 2019

RB too I think. Even if Ula comes back

BYUfan92

9/20/18 8:51am

Yes, I would put that #4

The Y's Insider

9/20/18 8:52am

Any idea on RBs who are currently in the mission field that will be back?

BYUfan92

9/20/18 8:53am

Jackson McChesney (Austin's brother) will be back from a mission for next season

Martin Van Nostrand

9/20/18 10:59am

He played almost exclusively as slot WR his Senior year.

scootsy

9/20/18 11:04am

is that because he was growing taller, team needs, or is that just where he

Martin Van Nostrand

9/20/18 11:18am

I think it was just where he was more dangerous. He has track speed and great hands. Seems more suited to WR than RB.

scootsy

9/20/18 11:22am

Not RB?

Indy Coug

9/20/18 8:52am

any thoughts re RB?

smokymountainrain

9/20/18 8:53am

I wonder if we would be interested in Zion Echols

BYUheaven

9/20/18 9:03am

With a name like that, he belongs at a school in Utah.

ConnCoug

9/20/18 11:10am

.........and what about RB?

Cougar TD

9/20/18 8:53am

Do we know if Romney is planning on a mission?

SpudCoug

9/20/18 8:58am

I thought no.

Grit for Brains

9/20/18 8:59am

Not when he left for school

Mr. Belding

9/20/18 9:00am

They will get Ben Bywater and Keenan Pili back at LB before summer. Pili is

Perhaps I'm being pessimistic, but none of those names get me hyped.

The Y's Insider

9/20/18 9:03am

Batty and Pilimai should absolutely have you excited. Can't help you if

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/20/18 9:05am

The coaches were really excited about Fevaleaki and Livai when they signed

Coop

9/20/18 9:08am

Add Jackson Kaufusi to this list.

rad dawg

9/20/18 12:12pm

I think there are very high hopes for Batty as a DE. IIRC Utah was going after him hard whether they offered or not.

9/20/18 12:40pm

I forget- Tuifua injury? He could be a playmaker at DE.

TN_Coug

9/20/18 9:05am

We have a bunch of LBs on missions

Coop

9/20/18 9:07am

is Folau injured? Seems like I heard that. And is Latu on the roster right now?

SingleStrapBackpack

9/20/18 9:42am

Latu is injured; I haven't heard that Folau is

Coop

9/20/18 9:45am

I am very hopeful that BYU will go get a JC RB this offseason.

slowhiteguy

9/20/18 9:08am

Hopefully Canada can have continued success so it is an easy sell

TN_Coug

9/20/18 9:10am

Dont hold your breath. The reason Utah gets good JC kids is because utah will

Cougz19

9/20/18 9:57am

Not always the case though

1CougFan

9/20/18 10:02am

We need playmakers and pass catchers at WRs. BIG TIME

DazeofBlue

9/20/18 9:16am

There has to be a 6'3" kid who runs a 4.4 40 and can succeed at BYU out there?

Coop

9/20/18 9:18am

Yes but they think they can play D1 basketball instead of Football WR

DazeofBlue

9/20/18 11:13am

Our commitments at these positions so far:

BountifulCoug5

9/20/18 9:41am

That Daley kid is top 5 in the country in sacks.

mokelembembe

9/20/18 9:45am

Daley is also David Nixon’s nephew so he comes from good stock

icecougar

9/20/18 10:49am

Oh really? I was unaware. That's sweet!

BountifulCoug5

9/20/18 12:20pm

He's Taysom Hill's nephew as well

Blue Cougar

Personally I think RBs are a priority

CougaRR4L

9/20/18 10:34am

I do too. I am surprised that Braedon Wissler out of Bingham does not have any

Iron Coug

9/20/18 11:54am

Is he really 5'6'' 160? That is tiny.

CougaRR4L

9/20/18 12:27pm

That kid is tiny but shifty. HIm getting hurt in the first game isn't helping

ReggaeCoug

9/20/18 12:42pm

I would give him a preferred walk on status at BYU. He has some wheels.

Iron Coug

9/20/18 1:39pm

From watching his film, he is shifty and sees running lanes well. However,

Mojave

With his injury

donnerstag

9/21/18 5:24pm

There's a kid at Mission Viejo HS, Akili Arnold - under-recruited

DaFreeCoug93

9/23/18 12:46am

There is a number or email or something where you can forward things like this

SingleStrapBackpack

9/23/18 12:57am

We might have a chance after USC, UCLA, or San Diego St get a crack
