But if he was really a quality back, wouldn't he have beaten out others for PT?

Let's be honest with ourselves, the "bevy of talented backs" at FSU did not exactly light the world on fire in 2018. Their RB1, Cam Akers, went for 706 yards, 4.4 yards per carry, and 6 TDs. RB2, Jacques Patrick, went for 378 yards, 3.5 ypc, and 1 TD.

If you can't beat out guys that put up those kind of very mediocre numbers, are you really that good?

Mark it down—Amir Rasul, RB from Florida State will be transferring to BYU...

Alister Mackenzie

Will it be a grad transfer or will he have to sit a year?

jreid191

1/18/19 5:14am

I’m assuming sit one since he just finished his 3rd year at FSU

Odysseus

"mark it down" = not happening.

Benfica1

No kidding... reminds me of all the Mark it downs we had

That's very True True

Hoss Bonaventure

I second this. That phrase has lost all credibility.

Board name checks out.

You are super funny

PessimisticCB

Almost. Board name says finny more than funny.

Haha, I am going to save both your names so I can message the victor later

pappabear246

I'm stuck in a loop now. Since your statement is marked down.

JuicyJam

Almost as reliable as "calling my shot"

byujdmba

1/18/19 12:06pm

Maybe "Mark it down" is one of those phrases that really means the opposite of what we think it means. Like "by and by"

True, isn't that Chris B's catch phrase...

I'm sorry for laughing. I just hope you're right.

He has definitely shown interest from his side

1/18/19 6:19am

how??

CrashMcLarson

1/18/19 8:11am

Interesting......how did he get connected with BYU?

Coug98

1/18/19 6:37am

This would be massive if true

JOPE

1/18/19 6:38am

If true he could be most dynamic RB to ever play at BYU!

Are you kidding? Look at his career stats.

Byu_1988

1/18/19 7:42am

Dynamic as in fast and talented like no other BYU RB we’ve had!

jpal1397

1/18/19 7:54am

Ronnie Jenkins and Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke might beg to differ

fulano

1/18/19 8:09am

Ditto Jamaal

djsroufe

1/18/19 8:21am

My thoughts exactly. How soon we forget.

byujdmba

1/18/19 12:28pm

Jamaal was money. No where near the speed of Rasul but made good with it!

jpal1397

1/18/19 12:35pm

Jamaal ran the 40 at the combine 4.59 not blazing at all.

Cougz19

1/18/19 12:40pm

Jenkins was good but very small. Luke was awesome! Rasul has chance to be great

jpal1397

1/18/19 11:26am

Burt was "dynamic" as well. Didn't make him a good running back.

Byu_1988

1/18/19 8:45am

Unless you don’t get PT to prove yourself. FSU has bevy of talented backs

jpal1397

1/18/19 11:29am

But if he was really a quality back, wouldn't he have beaten out others for PT?

Byu_1988

1/18/19 11:35am

Their OLine was abysmal. We should know what a crappy OLine can do to run game

jpal1397

1/18/19 11:42am

I'll give you that FSU's line was bad in 2018. They were good in 2017 though

Byu_1988

Kid had 45 carries the last 3 years. Watch his HS highlight reel. Make U drool

High school film doesn't mean squat

Byu_1988

1/18/19 5:26pm

Really? Well this was from Miami Dade HS area not Payson or Brookings, Oregon!

jpal1397

1/18/19 5:49pm

Yes, and my whole point is that he hasn't taken it to the next level yet.

Byu_1988

1/18/19 8:24pm

I agree. We’ve beaten this dead horse enough! I stand by my prediction.

jpal1397

1/18/19 8:44pm

So he sits a year and plays a year?

2FarGone

1/18/19 7:01am

Will he have to sit? Doesn’t look like he played last year.

specsauce

1/18/19 7:10am

had 10 rushing attempts according to ESPN

Martin Van Nostrand

1/18/19 7:17am

Those 10 carries came in 4 games. With the new redshirt years he qualifies for

kudzucoug

1/18/19 7:26am

From what I’m seeing he appeared in more than 5 games so he only

Odysseus

1/18/19 7:31am

If he redshirts last year he has two years to play but would burn one

jpal1397

1/18/19 7:33am

That's assuming he didn't play in any other games... he may have played in some

Martin Van Nostrand

1/18/19 8:57am

He's a senior when he's eligible. Sit one year to play one year

Odysseus

1/18/19 9:46am

Even if he didn't play last year, he'd have to sit.

How do you know?

1/18/19 7:25am

FSU sites reporting it. He also follows Steward and numerous other BYU

cougardoc93

1/18/19 7:27am

If true it won’t help for this year but will be exciting for next!

jpal1397

1/18/19 7:29am

Do you have a link to the FSU sites reporting Rasul to BYU?

1/18/19 7:38am

People following others on Twitter has to be one of the absolute worst sources

1/18/19 10:53am

True he follows BYU guys, but he also follows Memphis, Nevada, and more.

Bradenell24

1/18/19 11:07am

Is this like when Tre Watson was coming to BYU and then wound up at Texas?

Byu_1988

1/18/19 7:27am

That was a little different. Watson was just taking a recruiting trip.

Jeffacka

1/18/19 7:32am

Hope it's true. It would be great to have a Muslim pipeline at BYU.

vagabonder

1/18/19 7:42am

Tic? He’s not Muslim

1/18/19 7:56am

Amir Rasul? It's certainly not a Catholic name.

vagabonder

1/18/19 7:59am

He’s black. And Christian according to his twitter.

1/18/19 8:00am

But has he been on his mission trip yet?

MrRoboto

1/18/19 8:10am

I'm wrong, like I said I might be, and I'll eat my crow. I want to clarify thoug

vagabonder

1/18/19 8:37am

Right. I just meant there are a lot of African Americans with "Muslim" names that aren't practicing Muslims

1/18/19 8:53am

Obama claimed the same thing

Miami fans on Twitter want nothing to do with him since he flipped his original

LiveCoug

1/18/19 7:46am

Why would he transfer to BYU? That makes no sense

Frank Castiglione

1/18/19 9:02am

Well, no direct connection. But can make sense: BYU needs a RB and he's a RB.

Benfica1

1/18/19 9:11am

While that might be the case, it still doesn't explain this to me

Frank Castiglione

1/18/19 9:31am

Great sched, starter opportunity, ESPN exposure, great ed., should I go on?

1/18/19 9:52am

All these things are true, but aren't unique BYU, if we're honest with ourselves

Frank Castiglione

1/18/19 10:06am

Exactly. The question should be "what is the connection?"

Benfica1

1/18/19 10:03am

There are no tree lots open on Christmas eve, we needed a coffin, err a tree,

coolblue

It’s a movie quote

DanSmith

1/18/19 10:19am

You serious Clark?

coolblue

1/18/19 12:11pm

Any way he can play this coming season?? We still need some help at RB

beauso79

1/18/19 10:16am

looks like he got into 6 games this year so will probably have to redshirt

Cougz19

1/18/19 10:19am

Even if he didn't play last year, he'd have to sit.
