Cupboard is bare then yes in 2016 the cupboard was bare

This year we have 5 or 6. Depths is so much better and an honest evaluation makes this easy

On top of that, a guy I'm very curious to witness: Nasilai.

I see him backing up Masen Wake

I think that's right. I think his athletic upside is higher, though.

Yea, williams sure is worse than anyone in the 2021 group. right.

Running back depth is the topic

Squally and Algie were both pretty good

Neither looked great in 2016

Algie looked pretty good in 2015. We assumed he would be good in 2016 like we're

Algie switched positions to fullback in the offseason

The OL is kinda a big deal, I really liked Brown

W/ Allgeier's meteoric rise I think it's fair to put him right up there w Jamaal

SinkingQuffa

6/14/21 6:16am

It's tough to conpare. The o-line in 2016 was awful and Jamaal was still

I tend to think that two things occured last year for his meteoric rise

Borg

Those things can't be ignored. We shall see how he translates.

I'm sure this will be a hit and run when you realize you failed to read it

Yes, but they are 4 scholarships short in other areas. It is always a balancing

What position group is short on scholarships?

I know you hate Kalani and this staff more than anyone, but waaat???

I actually think depth was better in that 2016 group

Not really

"Measurables to be good starters" is so speculative

reddead

Squally wasn’t proven prior to the 2016 season. He had a few carries (or one?)

D.T. Survivor

6/14/21 9:44am

That's not the question, though

reddead

Brown averaged 2.7 yards per carry and was converted to fullback

Kalani's recruiting philosophies & methods are very diff than Bronco's.

Brown turned into a FB for that year and wasn't at all what he used to be.

I think Ropati will surprise everyone this year!

I think there were a lot of "Utah mindsets" that needed to be adopted at BYU

This last year has been good. Consistency is what I'm looking for...but

How do you justify putting Miles in tier 2 and Ropati in tier 3

StantonMac

6/14/21 2:17pm

It's clearly a priority for Roderick to get Miles more touches

If I had a nickel for every time a coach said something like that…
