Chaz with an interesting question: best player who never really got to play

Thrill

Trevor Molini

1/28/22 1:29pm

Taysom Hill too. He got injured a bunch

TEXAS

1/28/22 3:01pm

Also Marcus Dupree is another one. ESPN 30 for 30 on his story was great

TEXAS

1/28/22 3:40pm

Langi Tuifua could have been great. Hinds is another guy that could have made a

cougaman

1/28/22 1:31pm

Langi Tuifua comes to mind.

Kavorka

1/28/22 1:31pm

He played as a freshman

We don't beat Tennessee or USC without him. Our record would have looked much

If that kid had ANY chance — the mission was gonna have to be axed.

I think people underestimate how complex football is especially for nonAmericans

Bobmarleyjr

To a certain extent, Jordan Pendleton.

Niiineteeen84

1/28/22 1:32pm

This is the one that hurts the most for me.

What's the story here? Was one of my favorite players growing up.

this is the only right answer

Hey I thought he was enrolling this year. 😀

Recipefordisaster

1/29/22 2:53am

I was thinking his running mate from back east EDDIE SCIPIO

This kid was a freak athlete with the hips of an 81 year old lady unfortunately

Cougz19

Tried rushing back from his mission too soon, I think.

Imagine a Taysom Hill with no season ending injuries.

Brian Soi, Manaia Brown

BGRTHNUMEGO

1/28/22 1:42pm

Brian Soi was amazing, but his problem wasn't injury.

YSMACK

1/28/22 1:44pm

Brian Soi was so good. If he could've just stayed in a college program for 4 years straight....

mokelembembe

1/28/22 2:02pm

Yep. He was like Ngata good in HS.

YSMACK

1/28/22 2:08pm

At Utah State he was still as dominant. Blew up college lines as a Frosh. But that one year was all he ever played.

mokelembembe

1/28/22 2:17pm

I forgot he played at USU.

YSMACK

1/28/22 2:38pm

He went to a prep school first before Utah State.

mokelembembe

1/28/22 2:59pm

I played against Soi in high school. I still have nightmares about it.

diluigifan

1/28/22 2:09pm

Austin Holt, Richard Wilson, and Ross Apo come to mind.

Bob Vance

1/28/22 1:47pm

I play softball on occasion with Rich Wilson and that dude can CRUSH the ball.

RoaroftheCougartails

1/28/22 3:16pm

D1 athletes are in a special class. It's sobering when you realize what it takes to get there at all in terms

Bob Vance

1/28/22 3:18pm

Truly, I mean I hit home runs but when he really cuts loose he hits moonshots

RoaroftheCougartails

1/28/22 3:42pm

Uncle Rico. He’d have been great. No doubt, no doubt in my mind.

ballen

1/28/22 1:47pm

I think he is on the roster at the ewe. He's sitting so Rising can play.

Pangare

1/28/22 2:20pm

Danny Frazier. Was poised to be a star IIRC (I was a young kid)

fulano

1/28/22 1:47pm

I think he was also the first African American basketball player for BYU

PenrynCoug

1/28/22 1:54pm

That bit of basketball history belongs to Keith Rice.

Rob of NV

1/28/22 2:28pm

I believe the very first was this guy:

NewMexiCoug

1/28/22 2:43pm

I really liked the short glimpse of Famika Anae we got. He had some nasty to him

mokelembembe

1/28/22 1:48pm

Was it two Hawaii linemen he knocked out?

Ironhide

1/28/22 2:25pm

Oh man, you could write books on all of the "what if" guys. For every athlete

shoganai

1/28/22 1:50pm

Basically list any DE of the last 15 years that didn't contribute due to injury

Taysom Hill should be #1 and it’s not even close!

RexburgCougar

1/28/22 2:26pm

Not a bad point…

Pretorian

1/28/22 2:35pm

Except Taysom Hill doesn't even make sense for the question asked.

Zoobieman

1/28/22 4:25pm

If he had sense enough to be a LB — ABSOLUTELY!

SinkingQuffa

1/28/22 4:50pm

Never got to? Troy Hinds. Most of the others saw the field. So doesnt fit the question.

Turnpike Lane

1/28/22 2:32pm

If you want to be technical, yes, but a guy like Tuifua who got a handful of

cougaman

1/28/22 8:57pm

He got to play but lost his last two years, Gordon Hudson.

oldrugger

1/28/22 2:34pm

Did Troy Hinds (Sp?) ever suite up?

pilot17

1/28/22 2:35pm

Ross Apo's injuries hindered his potential

arizonacougarfan

1/28/22 2:39pm

Manaia Brown.... Criddle has alluded to this a couple of times.

wilsdad

1/28/22 2:45pm

Yes. Manaia was our Haloti. Even played around the same time

Sale

1/28/22 4:38pm

Famika Anae, this beast had a whole lot of nasty...

Lately Hinds, Tuifua, Cade Albright, Hank Tuipulotu

Don't know his knowledge of history, but wonder if recently he's thinking Kody Epps

Star Lotuleilei

Definitely. He’s one of at least 2 signees which didn’t qualify & went pro

Bobmarleyjr

1/28/22 9:06pm

Jordan Pendleton

Envisionman

1/28/22 4:19pm

Colby Jorgensen was another guy I wanted to really see. Could've been a good DE or maybe an even taller Issac Rex

mokelembembe

1/28/22 4:31pm

Not necessarily best player ever, but I have heard from a couple sources

Sale

1/28/22 4:41pm

He’s a heck of a head coach for the chiefs though.

Reasonable1

1/28/22 4:46pm

Then there’s Randy Reid…
