I know we have some "bodies", but do we have legit playmakers? How highly were these players recruited?

Biggest recruiting needs for 2019

The Y's Insider

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

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.

SingleStrapBackpack

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:

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,

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

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

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