Nawahine is too slow IMO. We need a better 3rd string than that

puntersarepeople Intervention Needed

But with LJ, Moa, and Haungu there isn’t any time to offer transfers so they would’ve had to land someone amazing for it to be worth the effort

Not trying to be a debby downer but surprised how slow our portal activity was

BYU - Tied for 1st in the Big12. Utah - Zero conference wins.

They beat OSU

And UCF

OH yeah. lol. I was so used to them losing I forgot they got one more to clinch sub .500

It’s a good thing. More players staying in the program and the guys coming in

Doesn’t seem like A-Rod believes the offense needs to improve, just run it back.

DC15

Get specific. What position did they neglect?

puntersarepeople

Apr 1, 7:24am

In our RB stall, don’t we only have LJ as our only back

conetah

Apr 1, 7:37am

We lost Miles Davis and THAT'S IT. We have the same room as last year lol

cougfan03

Apr 1, 7:42am

Didn't we also lose Ropati? But I'm thinking Huanga and Moa will do just fine.

Chemish

It hasn’t been confirmed that hinckley is gone

cougfan03

Apr 1, 7:49am

I certainly would mind getting another year from him

Chemish

Apr 1, 8:07am

I think Hinckley is a great dude, but he has a total of 564 career rushing yards over 3 seasons.

Icelandic Cougar

Apr 1, 8:52am

He played 2 years of JC, so that's not surprising. He's already gotten 2 waivers

SinkingQuffa

Sione Moa and Pokaia Haunga are better than a backup you’d get from the portal

molodyets

Apr 1, 7:43am

Plus they got Cale Breslin. RB is the easiest position to play right away

arizonacougarfan

Apr 1, 7:44am

I thought Moa left?

conetah

Apr 1, 7:54am

Different Sione Moa

puntersarepeople

Moa and Haungu hadn’t been on the roster for a full year last season

Tell me you don't watch BYU football without telling me you don't watch it.

It still wouldn't make that much sense. Huanga is awesome. Nowahine was good too

Fact of the matter is 1. TPort is generally Temu/stop gap recruiting 2. BYU has

Das_Countach

Apr 1, 11:24am

Heaven forbid we have so many good players we don’t need the portal

puntersarepeople

Apr 1, 7:21am

Yeah, as I recall Utah had one of the highest amounts of players go to the portal. Stands to reason they'd need to pick

Chemish

Apr 1, 7:27am

BYU has returning starters. No room or need to go to the portal.

Preppy

Apr 1, 7:24am

And where there was a need, we signed former 5 star OT and a solid TE

cajuncoug

Apr 1, 7:35am

we also didn't lose very many to the portal. We recruited our own players from

runnincoug

We had less players bail out.

In addition to needing to make roster cuts to reach 105

Mabuhay Coug

Same number of scholarship players though

We're a basketball school. Which is awesome. Good football would be nice too.

No. This can't be. And yet it is

TNT

Apr 1, 8:01am

We retained our players plus got Tanuvasa, Ryan, Gentry, Clegg, and Akana

We had a ton of portal activity before our first Big 12 season. That’s not

Sounded like they might be interested in a WR if an interesting one pops up. DT and CB too

If you don't want to be then don’t. Besides that, it’s a really bad take. Returning production

conetah

What QB would you want? You're not going to bench Retzlaff and anybody in the

molodyets

Apr 1, 8:18am

Yeah, you don't bench Retzlaff unless it's a sure-fire can't miss. Who is that?

runnincoug

Apr 1, 8:41am

I agree with this.

conetah

Apr 1, 10:41am

It would have to be someone not just better than Retz but WAY better

runnincoug

Apr 1, 11:06am

And you don’t mess with team chemistry for a slight improvement at QB

puntersarepeople

Apr 1, 11:15am

This may help you out. The numbers are as of January, but not a lot has changed

BYUMizzou

Apr 1, 8:29am

Now do how many players each team lost in the portal and how much those

cougaman

Apr 1, 8:34am

Need to look at Net portal numbers

tmurphey44

Apr 1, 9:36am

Needs for new starter exist at OT(portal), DL(portal), TE(portal) and depth

stansburycoug

Apr 1, 9:48am

They can be picky. Remember NCAA cut the total # of players allowed to 105.

Sione Moa is better than anyone in the portal- He and LJ will destroy the Big 12
