Was she the big time transfer?

TADOW

No. Been here a couple yrs. Good player.

Soupie

She’s been our best guard the last 2 years. Now we only have 1 true PG

12/5/23 5:59pm

No. She was our second-best returner from last year’s team. Also dating Kingsley.

they are engaged, but I guess could stay still dating

That's abrupt. And she's good.

of her 3 games, she started the last one. She has played OK but BYU is 1-2 with

Would Kingsley prepping for the draft be reason enough for this?

Kingsley disappeared from the football team before the season ended as well.

Doubt it

I wonder if that had anything to do with them playing poorly today.

they were 5-0 to start the season without her, of course that is with the

Probably has more to do w Kingsley than w her & her place on the team.

Why quit? Draft isn’t until the summer. How does dropping out help Kingsley?

BYU'01

12/5/23 6:20pm

This might be his last semester. Maybe she doesn't want to tie him down

SinkingQuffa

IIRC guys like Kingsley don't really go anywhere at this point in the process

Isn't there wedding scheduled for June? And don't players hang around to

BackPacker

I don't think Kingsley is sticking around the team during the pre-draft process.

12/6/23 11:11am

Didn't know that. That seems odd given that he's from Orem. Maybe there were

NFL prospects always go somewhere else to train for the pre-draft stuff.

JuicyJam

Yes, there’s some local trainers that many NFL guys use but he might like

Too bad, good player. Coming off injury. Maybe planning to leave with husband

The guards problem on the team is solved. Used to be four for three positions,

There is usually more to the story than meets the eye and it often never comes

Wow this is very disappointing. Without knowing details seems like a really dumb

palangi

Didn’t see that coming. What happened???

An all conference player and the coaches daughter playing the same position.

Bullrider

12/6/23 3:29pm

Falatea is not a true point guard. She actually started out her first 3 games

cwilke1

12/6/23 3:32pm

Only a thought. I thought she could fit in the three guard offense Whiting

I didn’t think they were married, only engaged, yet.

This isn’t it, not this timing

palangi

Well. Weddings are hard to plan. Really hard. Depends how much help she
