I would absolutely leave if I were him. He deserves not only a scholly but also some modest NIL money on top of it. He was clutch for us this year

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

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

Dec 9, 4:58pm

My understanding is he still isn't on scholarship

Maybe BYU will pay him

Tricky

Dec 9, 2:47pm

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

mulletino

Dec 9, 2:48pm

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

College football is headed downhill

TarCoug

Dec 9, 2:50pm

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

DeepCCoug

Dec 9, 6:36pm

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

Stopper6700

Dec 9, 2:49pm

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

Tricky

Dec 9, 2:54pm

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

DieHarder

Dec 9, 2:49pm

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

BYUMizzou

Dec 9, 2:57pm

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

rad dawg

Dec 9, 2:50pm

Isn't Satuala mission-bound?

mulletino

Dec 9, 2:51pm

Could be. I dont know.

rad dawg

Dec 9, 2:57pm

No, no mission for Satuala

cougfan03

Dec 9, 3:11pm

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

Reasonable1

Dec 9, 5:35pm

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

allaboutthegainz

Dec 9, 2:50pm

Wow... ok, that one is shocking

Coug

Dec 9, 2:52pm

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

Six Foot Seven

Dec 9, 2:53pm

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

Coug

Dec 9, 2:57pm

Pretty sure Prassas is mission bound

deliciousmocha

Dec 9, 3:00pm

Prassas isn’t a member I don’t think

Stopper6700

Dec 9, 3:09pm

Wow. I did not know that.

deliciousmocha

Dec 9, 3:32pm

Pretty sure Prassas is not LDS

PabloSanchezz

Dec 9, 3:10pm

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

Haysom Till

Dec 9, 3:49pm

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

RootieBoy

Dec 9, 3:54pm

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

jaba166

Dec 9, 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

Dec 9, 2:54pm

He’s still not on scholarship

JKLCoug

Dec 9, 2:54pm

Neither is Wall

indocoug

Dec 9, 2:56pm

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

Leonardo

Dec 9, 2:57pm

I doubt BYU was considering bringing him back without a scholarship

puntersarepeople

Dec 9, 3:11pm

Walk ons don't really exist anymore.

NGB

Dec 9, 3:15pm

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

buhlcougar

Dec 9, 2:59pm

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

DieHarder

Dec 9, 3:01pm

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

astroman

Dec 9, 3:03pm

You mean walkons like Wakley?

DJROSS

Dec 9, 3:29pm

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

Charles Darwin

Dec 9, 3:00pm

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

COACHdrn

Dec 9, 5:54pm

What???

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Dec 9, 3:12pm

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

kodama

Dec 9, 3:21pm

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

Magneto

Dec 9, 3:34pm

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

Mabuhay Coug

Dec 9, 3:40pm

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

caretoomuch

Dec 9, 3:44pm

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

FiveTen-BuckEighty

Dec 9, 3:53pm

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

caretoomuch

Dec 9, 4:45pm

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

YSMACK

Dec 9, 5:39pm

Disagree

Reasonable1

Dec 9, 5:44pm

You know what, I might be thinking of Wall.

YSMACK

Dec 9, 5:48pm

Yes. You are

puntersarepeople

Dec 9, 5:52pm

Or Prassass

Reasonable1

Dec 9, 6:33pm

You don’t want to risk losing Satuala or Damuni

arizonacougarfan

Dec 9, 3:55pm

I’d risk Damion to keep Crew all day.

caretoomuch

Dec 9, 4:46pm

Tell that to Jay Hill

arizonacougarfan

Dec 9, 5:48pm

That's why you aren't a coach.

Adrielle

Dec 9, 5:50pm

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

cougsareforreal

Dec 9, 5:58pm

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

dtownCoug

Dec 9, 4:49pm

I personally think that is an important and timely question

Charles Darwin

Dec 9, 5:02pm

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

CT98

Dec 9, 5:03pm

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

MaxxPower

Dec 9, 5:28pm

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

Dec 9, 6:09pm

Bring him back!

Leaving before the bowl game makes me think he is gone

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

Don Carlton

Dec 9, 7:28pm

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

Charles Darwin

Dec 9, 7:34pm

He has an injury and may be unavailable either way

He played against Houston
