95% of these kids would be better off staying home and playing local.

Problem is they all think they are the 5%.

Andrew Gentry is in the transfer portal

Martin Van Nostrand

12/9/24 7:17am

He would be a great addition to the OL

JoeExotic

12/9/24 7:21am

No he wouldn’t. He’s going to be a senior who’s seen heavy PT in exactly 1 game.

Is he coming off a lisfranc? He probably won’t be full strength next year if he

Low risk, high reward type transfer—why not try (as long as we don’t guarantee

His family was bitter towards BYU, don't know if they still are

RockyBalboa

True, but if we’re his best landing spot a grudge can be buried quickly

I’ve spoken with JT Gentry. He's not bitter. The Gentrys weren't impressed with

So apparently BYU is NOT your dream school.

If my dream school has a horrifically bad position coach, I'd do what he did. NOT go to Utah and go to a top brand P5

My wife and I graduated from BYU, 4 out of 4 children have gone to BYU (2 grads

I am BYU to the core. With everything at stake at this level, this is a business

BYUlv

12/9/24 11:55am

Curious if their assessment changed at all with TJ Woods coaching that position?

seacougar

12/9/24 12:06pm

Their assessment could only have improved immensely. It remains to be seen if it

Lot of good it did them at Michigan. He barely played

Stucoug83

12/9/24 12:31pm

So that’s why he only played two games this year?

BYU '80

12/9/24 12:36pm

My understanding. Wasn't healthy until late in the year. Did play a little each

Stucoug83

12/9/24 12:38pm

he wasnt a starter. Did fill in/start injury 2 games but never 1 on depth chart

Swishfromdeep3

12/9/24 4:16pm

Would've been the dude if not injured in fall camp

Stucoug83

12/9/24 7:34pm

I know his family this is not true they are not bitter

Why?

kccougar

12/9/24 7:32am

Because we're losing Etienne and Keim and you can never have enough good OL!!

BlueKarma

12/9/24 11:51am

Maybe he goes to USU to team up with Bronco

Charles Darwin

12/9/24 7:30am

Honestly a decent shot here. Family really likes Bronco.

HBCoug

12/9/24 7:34am

Dude could have been a 4 yr starter here and played a ton of snaps.

Wasn't he from Colorado?

icecougar

Yes

Oh yeah. Oops. 😁 In that case, definitely don’t stay local!

I know Andrew. He is as good a human as you will find. Those bitter that he went

No way! How many D1 athletes have ever served in a bishopric? Can’t be more than

John Beck was counselor in my ward's bishopric at BYU.

It's not crazy for BYU fans to prefer he come to BYU instead of Michigan

MyTwoCents

12/9/24 8:48am

Of course not.

VenomFarmer

12/9/24 10:12am

I wanted him to come to BYU, but he was at Michigan, and won a national champ

Does his dad's name happen to be Montgomery?

Yep! Some of the best people I know.

Who's bitter? We all wanted him to come, and were disappointed he didn't, but

LifeLongLakerFan

12/9/24 12:53pm

Agreed! Would be a great pickup

RockyBalboa

12/9/24 1:15pm

Hope we get him. He could fill the void that we have on our OL.

I would love to see him come to Provo - I'm a big fan

It's about freakin time, Big Guy. Now let's find your way back to that diner — to where you got led astray.

SinkingQuffa

12/9/24 8:37am

We need tackles. Ours are graduating. He could very well be a starter next year

From talking to him he didn’t give the vibe
