Yeah, maybe we see some shifts once other backs can actually get reps?

But as of right now McChesney is ahead of Ropati.

Gunner, Katoa, and Empey could all be leaving

Katoa NFL?

franklyvulgar

11/1/21 2:35pm

No chance of that. But 5 years playing college football is plenty.

I’m concerned about who we have in the wings when Allgier leaves

I think Ropati could be an Allgeier lite RB. Similar body and running style.

TheLoneCougar

11/1/21 8:40pm

If he were going to be that he wouldn’t be RB4.

I think you're reading more into it. BYU doesn't release depth chart beyond 1s and 2s.

TheLoneCougar

11/1/21 8:59pm

A Rod has stated explicitly that McChesney is RB3

WP17

11/1/21 9:07pm

McChesney runs very much like Katoa, so I guess if the coaches are fine with type of back... (shrug)

Know that Miles Davis is most likely going to be RB1

BYUAnime

He's got a lot to learn about playing RB

Tyler Allgeier did exactly that

Tyler Allgeier was a RB in HS

As a kick returner?

I assume most COVID Jrs will move on. Just like last year.

RGGeemer

Don't be surprised if Puka also leaves

AZ Coug

To the League? Doubt it. I expect him to stay one more year.

Why would Katoa leave early?

Big Daddy D

11/1/21 2:36pm

Academically, he's a senior

ColoSpgs

11/1/21 2:41pm

Yep. If not NFL career ahead, or no desire for grad school paid for, move on. Smart decision financially.

Gunner should stay if he wants to go to the NFL. This is not the year to do it

I think Gunner stays.. The other two will leave I think.

Gunner would be strange. He's one big year from being a draft pick.

mokelembembe

11/1/21 2:38pm

Gunnar needs a season with no injuries so he can show some consistency.

Eddie

11/1/21 2:39pm

Yet his injuries this year have both come from guys rolling up from behind him because he was blocking downfield.

specsauce

11/1/21 2:42pm

To me, it isn't about showing he can play without getting injured.

Eddie

11/1/21 2:46pm

I gotcha. I agree with that. I think Gunnar deserves more targets. When he is targeted, he usually makes the most of

I didn’t want to point that out, but yes. I don’t know why he did it. It’s like a moth to a flame.

Katoa isn't an NFL back. He'll be back. Romney should be back if he wants the NFL. Empey will probably leave. I'm glad

The silver lining to the OL injuries that it is helping to build depth

I think your 2nd list all return if they want NFL. And Gunner too. Maybe Mandell goes. He could.

Agreed.

HiLife

Has Chaz really put enough on tape to be drafted?

crack

Not yet, surprised he is being considered

OC Coug

11/1/21 3:19pm

No, I don't think he will be drafted. But I don't think he wants to be in college anymore

kimdaddy35

I can tell you that your speculation isn't far off.

Belboz

11/1/21 3:23pm

He needs more plays at Safety before an nfl will pay him his potential.

Big Daddy D

11/2/21 10:10pm

I couldn't agree more. I just don't think he is going to stick around for that to happen.

Katoa has game film on 23 TDs and he's 25 years old. No reason to stay.
