I'm sure those same qualities have been absorbed by your sons and they will succeed in whatever environment they find themselves in. Excited he is planning to serve a mission and then hoping he returns to play for the Y.

Thanks for post Bama

I wish him luck and would advise him to not hop on CB especially if he comes to BYU

Dumb question: Can BYU help him get in as a preferred walk on? IOW,

I think that only assures him a spot on the team, but doesn't guarantee he'd be admitted to BYU.

Probably. Coaches can pull strings for the players they want on the team

A good question - yes, coaches can help PWOs and non-preferred walk-ons get in

sandiegocgrfan

12/6/18 1:59pm

If BYU offers him PWO status, he should be able to get in with those academics

12/5/18 4:22pm

Easily. If the coaches want him on the team those stats will present

I imagine that if he expressed interest in walking on at BYU, coaches might help

PWO status would elminate GPA concerns

If BamaCoug disowned him, he could then accept Gofundme money.

No. He couldn't.

Tuition at BYU is half of what he paid for him to go to HS. He can handle it.

BamaCoug's a doctor. Doctors can pay for kids' college.

Mrs Featerbottom

12/6/18 10:30am

Doctors love paying for school. It's a top hobby for many of them.

Byron McNertney

He is the one who chose to send his kid to a private HS.

I'd bet that the tuition at the private high school is higher than BYU tuition
