sure Wyoming will be favored. My guess is “no”. I do expect SMU who is now P4 and recruited with that distinction this off-season.

Spring Wind Down Observations

Texas3Step

Good observations and thoughts.

Rise Against

Mar 27, 3:00pm

Need to remember about Cole Hagen coming...kid is ELITE!

The Chief

Mar 27, 3:13pm

Cody is phenomenal, but he will likely need to shake off the mission legs/rust.

Rise Against

Mar 27, 3:15pm

Hmm. I thought we all agreed that mission legs are a myth.

I think a few agreed. Several at most.

RM = hamstring injury waiting to happen

Keanu was a good blocker downfield as a WR...

icecougar

Mar 27, 3:06pm

Also, with the o-line, we need 2 guys to step up.

Rise Against

Don't forget Joe Brown

Captain Stubing

Mar 27, 3:43pm

Oh yeah! I've heard good things about him. I can't believe I forgot

Rise Against

Mar 27, 3:54pm

Rumor was they’ll pick up a few OL transfers

I'mBatman

Mar 28, 7:10pm

They moved him to guard and he improved. He now has more experience.

This didn't inspire much confidence..

Look at my history. Candid facts. No sweet smelling blue smoke here

Yet it still looks pretty good to me.

Very much appreciate the insight and your approach. Thank you.

Definitely appreciated.

Couldn't agree more on lack of transparency. No public practices or scrimmages

It's all about the O Line. A good o line solves a lot of problems. A bad O line

Sounds like a conference championship team to me.

When you say someone is a good route runner, what do you mean?

StantonMac

Mar 27, 4:07pm

Separation, separation, separation. The quicker that happens the better.

CMAC38

Mar 27, 4:23pm

While that's true, if you get separation but are running an out when you're

It's always funny to me when someone asks a question, then corrects a person

Point taken. So maybe the better question is

Good post. I’ve heard a lot of similar things

What would you say the team’s biggest weakness is currently?

Gotta be QB

CB, Backer Depth, QB competition

Isn’t LB pretty deep? We just have injuries.

Glasker has only had one season injured

I believe the biggest reason Glasker was hurt and Taggart didn’t play well is

Not OL?

Go back to Spring 2023 coverage... who were the "top WRs flying all around"?

Texas3Step

Mar 27, 5:14pm

I didn’t know his scholarship was pulled. That’s a bummer, but that’s life.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Mar 27, 11:09pm

Great overview. Honestly I think our offense will struggle mightily which will

Remember how last year a bunch of guys on here thought Epps was the best weapon

Pretorian

Mar 27, 6:55pm

When he actually was healthy he played well (he had some big plays vs OU)

puntersarepeople

Mar 27, 7:53pm

That’s the thing, he’s too fragile, can’t count on him

Pretorian

Mar 28, 8:43am

True! One can hope tho

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 8:44am

The ND game gave me a lot of hope… love to see that again

What about the MacKenzie bros?

Is Saili not a huge upgrade physically on the DL? I was hoping he would be

puntersarepeople

Mar 27, 7:53pm

He might be a huge body with speed which is player any team is looking for, but

NewBYUfannonLDS

About a month ago Bywater said he'll be ready for fall camp. So unless there was a setback....

HarlemCoug

He’ll be ready

I'mBatman

Mar 28, 7:16pm

Bold prediction. We will not get our 2024 starting QB from Spring portal. Some

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 8:37pm

3 or 4 wins this year. If no major improvement in 2025 I imagine we will have a new coach in 2026

byuTX

Mar 27, 9:08pm

3 wins in 2024 likely results in a coaching change. Other than year 1, 7 wins

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 9:33pm

3 wins and I think sitake would be given another year unless there’s a scandal. 1 or 2 wins might do it. I admit I don’t

byuTX

Mar 27, 9:41pm

U would have to go back some time prior to LaVell Edwards to find a head coach

Cougarbib

Mar 27, 10:27pm

I love Sitake and hope he figures it out and stays forever FWIW. I hope that if JR is the QB that he shows that last

byuTX

Mar 28, 5:07am

U need to scratch P5 QB from your vocabulary. P4 QB going forward.

Cougarbib

Mar 28, 10:00am

That’s how I’m feeling. Post had a lot of good insight but seems we’re not

bigbossbyu

Mar 27, 10:55pm

Why would you think that SMU and Wyoming will be favored? I find that unlikely. Sure SMU had a nice looking record

ManicBlue

Mar 28, 12:52am

I don’t think Wyoming will be favored and honestly I don’t believe they are that

NewBYUfannonLDS

Mar 28, 5:51am

SMU will be favored by 3-5 because of our 2023 O. Wyoming wont be unless we lose big to SMU (my guess is BYU by 6-8).

byuTX

Mar 28, 5:57am

Because Road Games and we are projected to be worse than mediocre P4 team. Not

Cougarbib

Those are similar to my thoughts for the upcoming season
