Crew Wakley in the portal....sad about this one

12/9/24 2:46pm

First big surprise this cycle

At first, I was really surprised (like Keenan Pili surprised), but after

An unknown guy who came in and made a name for himself?

Gotta be a money grab. Prob won't make it to the NFL

MaximusMeridius

My understanding is he still isn't on scholarship

Maybe BYU will pay him

Tricky

12/9/24 2:47pm

Yep, sometimes you gotta Kody Epps if you want that Kody Epps cash.

mulletino

12/9/24 2:48pm

Hopefully if we get him back with NIL, he doesn't play(or not)like NIL Kody Epps

Surprising....given that he played a ton. Was a transfer from

College football is headed downhill

TarCoug

12/9/24 2:50pm

At BYU, not every player is a mercenary, but a lot are.

DeepCCoug

12/9/24 6:36pm

I would bet this is for a better NIL deal. He’s been a walk-on to this point.

Stopper6700

12/9/24 2:49pm

He deserves it. Pay for the man's school and some family pocket money!

Tricky

12/9/24 2:54pm

If there’s a position that we have young talent ready to step up for older guys

12/9/24 2:49pm

Safety is a position where the coaches are going to HAVE to tell some players to hit the portal

BYUMizzou

12/9/24 2:57pm

Bummer but he was probably going to lose his spot to Satuala or Damuni

rad dawg

12/9/24 2:50pm

Isn't Satuala mission-bound?

mulletino

12/9/24 2:51pm

Could be. I dont know.

rad dawg

12/9/24 2:57pm

No, no mission for Satuala

cougfan03

12/9/24 3:11pm

He can still come back, and we could absolutely use him. He’s really good!

Reasonable1

12/9/24 5:35pm

We have a lot of young safety depth, but my guess is he is back with a better

allaboutthegainz

12/9/24 2:50pm

Wow... ok, that one is shocking

Coug

12/9/24 2:52pm

Damuni, Satuala, Prassas all with more years of eligibility and higher ceilings.

12/9/24 2:53pm

Satuala is going to be incredible... Prassas needs an offseason of conditioning and strength building...

Coug

12/9/24 2:57pm

Pretty sure Prassas is mission bound

12/9/24 3:00pm

Prassas isn’t a member I don’t think

Stopper6700

12/9/24 3:09pm

Wow. I did not know that.

12/9/24 3:32pm

Pretty sure Prassas is not LDS

PabloSanchezz

12/9/24 3:10pm

Prassas I’m not sold on. He got cooked over and over. Looks undersized and outmatched physically.

Haysom Till

12/9/24 3:49pm

He also had enough redeeming moments to see why the coaches are high on his future.

RootieBoy

12/9/24 3:54pm

Probably no position group we're better stocked at than safety going forward,

jaba166

12/9/24 7:29pm

Underclassman improving quickly enough to take his position combined with a need for all schools to get to 105. He was a

DJROSS

12/9/24 2:54pm

He’s still not on scholarship

JKLCoug

12/9/24 2:54pm

Neither is Wall

indocoug

12/9/24 2:56pm

I was just about to ask this. I don’t blame him for leaving if no scholly.

Leonardo

12/9/24 2:57pm

I doubt BYU was considering bringing him back without a scholarship

puntersarepeople

12/9/24 3:11pm

Walk ons don't really exist anymore.

NGB

12/9/24 3:15pm

I wonder if this is also part of trimming down the roster to meet the new NCAA requirements.

buhlcougar

12/9/24 2:59pm

With 105 spots you aren’t pushing a starting safety out.

DieHarder

12/9/24 3:01pm

You trim your walkons or 3rd/4th stringers, not your starters

astroman

12/9/24 3:03pm

You mean walkons like Wakley?

DJROSS

12/9/24 3:29pm

I assume this means he is out for the bowl game?

12/9/24 3:00pm

Should be. I wouldn't let him play or keep practicing.

COACHdrn

12/9/24 5:54pm

What???

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

12/9/24 3:12pm

Ugh. Not a position we want to be thin at against Colorado...

kodama

12/9/24 3:21pm

He wasn't on scholarship this year was he?? That may be the reason why

Magneto

12/9/24 3:34pm

This one hurts, especially before the Alamo Bowl. Pay him, Show Love & Sign him!

Mabuhay Coug

12/9/24 3:40pm

I know the extended family. They feel like younger more sought after recruits

caretoomuch

12/9/24 3:44pm

Wakely didn't play at all against ASU, it wasn't a coach decision

FiveTen-BuckEighty

12/9/24 3:53pm

Yes that wasn’t my point. I was saying he is very valuable.

caretoomuch

12/9/24 4:45pm

The only think about Wakely is he is wuss tackling. Great coverage.

YSMACK

12/9/24 5:39pm

Disagree

Reasonable1

12/9/24 5:44pm

You know what, I might be thinking of Wall.

YSMACK

12/9/24 5:48pm

Yes. You are

puntersarepeople

12/9/24 5:52pm

Or Prassass

Reasonable1

12/9/24 6:33pm

You don’t want to risk losing Satuala or Damuni

arizonacougarfan

12/9/24 3:55pm

I’d risk Damion to keep Crew all day.

caretoomuch

12/9/24 4:46pm

Tell that to Jay Hill

arizonacougarfan

12/9/24 5:48pm

That's why you aren't a coach.

Adrielle

12/9/24 5:50pm

If they both had 1 more year maybe but 3v1 it’s a no brainer.

cougsareforreal

12/9/24 5:58pm

Probably a dumb question—portal means not playing in Bowl Game I assume?

dtownCoug

12/9/24 4:49pm

I personally think that is an important and timely question

12/9/24 5:02pm

That's a great question and I recall this came up when Jacob Conover entered the

CT98

12/9/24 5:03pm

He is not participating in bowl prep, nor will he travel with the team per BYU's transfer rules

MaxxPower

12/9/24 5:28pm

He can remove himself from the portal and participate, assuming coaches will

Bring him back!

Leaving before the bowl game makes me think he is gone

Don Carlton

12/9/24 7:22pm

I get it but who knows why he did. There might be a good reason. Let’s see how

Don Carlton

12/9/24 7:28pm

I don’t think it’s only about money. He wants to head some place else and that

12/9/24 7:34pm

He has an injury and may be unavailable either way

puntersarepeople

12/9/24 7:38pm

He played against Houston

Oh that’s right
