... perhaps staff feels set at RB with Allieger, however, the SEC RB was/is decidedly better than our last SEC starting RB from South Carolina.

Puka would be a really nice get if he ultimately transfers here

There are at least 2-3 players I can think of that are buried deep on the bench

BYU has pulled scholarships before and will again

And I doubt there would be "bad press" there is a reason you haven't heard of it

I don’t know why pulling scholarships is a big deal. When players get signed by

Why do you keep saying 2 senior wide receivers?

You do realize that eligibility years didn't count for 2020?

He should be a redshirt freshman in 2021. I think he redshirted in 2019.

pinolero

3/7/21 8:01pm

He played in both 2019 and 2020. This last season won’t count against eligibility. He will be a sophomore.

Busting Coveys

3/7/21 8:05pm

I thought he played in less than 4, apparently he played 8.

pinolero

3/7/21 8:43pm

FYI. There are obvious choices for who to cut

donnerstag

Too many hypotheticals there. True ANYTHING is possible and players in this

Dat_rmishner

3/7/21 8:52pm

This is correct. I counted it up over the past few years. Kalani has cut...

It really hurt program depth when there were players riding the bench

Just FYI.. P5s guarantee scholarships

Sort of true

Interesting. And this woulda been as a fresh RM.

SinkingQuffa

Not sure. It was after his shoulder surgery...

Vernon Dozier

3/7/21 9:42pm

I just know he transferred to us shortly after returning from his mission.

SinkingQuffa

3/7/21 9:45pm

the simple fact is.. P5 programs dont do that.

TheLost

I disagree. Most do. I think most parents can see through it...

That is simply not a fact

Its not a 'philosophy'... it is a guarantee (an actual conference rule)

BYU doesn't cut scholarships just because someone better comes along

This is correct. When the Bingham center lost his scholly

Would Samson be scholarship?

Yeah, he's solid. 1000 career yards

I was thinking nay, but that probably deserves one if it's the only way.

It's not uncommon for guys to transfer after spring ball if they see they are

There is a lot of natural attrition

More transfers and medical retirements are coming that will clear spots

JaTarvious Whitlow (former 2x leading rusher for Auburn). Not transferring now

wickedgame71

He was not coming to BYU

cougman02

3/7/21 7:01pm

Also he isn’t a all American he lost his starting job at auburn and now plays

cougman02

3/7/21 7:02pm

Correct. He's not coming. No scholarships. He was a frosh AA

wickedgame71

And there’s a reason he’s at western Illinois

cougman02

It's sounds like you know him and his family well? Interesting.

No not at all. But a kid going from 700 yard rusher in SEC to western Illinois

cougman02

Don't have all the details on the FCS transfer, but given he transferred late

Good for him I hope he goes and makes millions

You mention Jackson Cosper and Epps as starters.

Epps is just a freshman

I’m excited about Epps. Jackson is unproven but looks fast.

you mention 1 starter that could be threatened. BYU uses 4-6 receivers every game, and with the number of times Gunner
