are gone. With Keenan Ellis, Isaiah Herron and Shamon Willis all retiring from football, I don't think we're really all that deep, especially when it comes to experience.

Corner is the deepest position on the team this year

Typical BYU…. Wait… did you say Corner!?

Pretorian

8/5/22 7:34am

Offensive line is the deepest position group

donnerstag

8/5/22 7:34am

This. And it's not even close. We will have guys with starter experience

Rise Against

8/5/22 8:16am

You would need 12 capable of starting offensive linemen to replicate

Big12Yfan

8/5/22 10:52am

wasn't Harper moved to safety?

icecougar

Harper is capable of starting at corner and may be the best we have

Big12Yfan

This^^^^

Only have three proven options. That's not even a full two-deep.

Six Foot Seven

8/5/22 7:36am

I thought there were 4

Hawk Talons

8/5/22 7:39am

Mandell, Hayes, Jeudy-Lally

Six Foot Seven

8/5/22 7:40am

I think Harper qualifies. I really liked what he was doing and I think he was fr

Jakob Robinson is in the mix too. I see why we got Jeudy, but the cupboard isn't exactly bare.

Indy Coug

8/5/22 7:52am

Would probably add Jakob Robinson as well.

WhereIsDonLewis

8/5/22 7:52am

He's everything you described plus one more thing: he's a safety in 2022.

Six Foot Seven

8/5/22 7:55am

If we were that short on CBs he’d still be one

Indy Coug

8/5/22 7:57am

Except we are pretty short on safeties.

BGRTHNUMEGO

8/5/22 8:00am

Yeah I'll buy the argument that we're thin at safety — no so much at corner

Indy Coug

8/5/22 8:08am

I think he is a safety to start out this camp?

Corner is our 3rd of 4th deepest position - OL, WRs, LBs are better. 4 deep

Captain Stubing

8/5/22 8:45am

LBs is one of the least deep.

CrimWalCoug

8/5/22 8:55am

I am probably just enamored with the starters. We have four solid LBs in

Captain Stubing

Tanuvasa has moved to MLB2 behind Pili.

Six Foot Seven

8/5/22 9:11am

^^^ this ^^^

Big12Yfan

8/5/22 10:24am

Pili, Wilgar, Bywater, Pyper, Tooley, Kaufusi, and Tanuvasa

TheLoneCougar

8/5/22 10:57am

Plus we now have Daley and Tate Romney that show tons of promise

Rise Against

8/5/22 10:59am

Daley is the darkhorse, since he’s been back from his mission for 16 months.

CrimWalCoug

8/5/22 11:34am

BYU has a system with four LBs. Pyper and Kaufusi aren’t very good - I don’t consider them good depth.

CrimWalCoug

8/5/22 11:33am

Don't forget Micah Wilson. He's even better than Josh was and he's not an RM.

Rise Against

8/5/22 11:38am

Would love it if Micah Wilson proved to be a pleasant surprise.

CrimWalCoug

8/5/22 11:44am

He fits the linebacker mold better than his brother. A couple inches taller and

Rise Against

8/5/22 11:48am

The recent RM’s even not in tip top shape are probably still a better option.

87cougs

8/5/22 5:00pm

Fair point. I would agree with that assessment

87cougs

8/5/22 4:59pm

Only if all the starters go down. If just one, these other guys work nicely

OldFogey

8/5/22 11:28am

One or two are moving to safety
