Well, they told Kaveinga they didn't have a scholarship for him either. You snooze, you lose. -
I am actually fine with this. He is late to the party, crap or get off the pot. BYU is actually in a position this year where they can afford to do this. Unlike Utah they will not be waiting for BCS team leftovers.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post*Banned*Comment

LOL! That was dumb. I respect the honesty, but the mismanagement issue is not inspiring. That, IMO, is where the rubber hits the pavement.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post
I venture to say that this is a result of the poor recruiting at DT for a few years. I think the coaches got nervous and gave out scholarships to the kids they knew they could nab in summer. Throw in the gamble on the Cottonwood kid and they are stuck. If BYU had landed some decent DTs each of the past two years I doubt they overreact and committ themselves to the hilt that early knowing Heimuli is still out there.
I guess this means the mystery recruit is still committed, eh?

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Exactly. I am not bothered by it either. BYU doesn't have the luxury of holding a schollie for someone they probably weren't going to land anyway. He'll come back after his mission.Originally posted by cougjunkie View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

BYU could have done something to get Heimuli here on scholarship. Sometimes the "crap or get off the pot" mentalitiy isn't the best.Comment

I have no problem with them running out of schollies, especially on a kid they weren't darn sure they were getting.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post
Why bring up the mission thing though. The kid and his folks are smart enough to figure out if he wanted to go to BYU he could go on a mission first.
They are doing a great job at BYU and it is a great school, but the "our shit don't stink" attitude that creeps in now and then really turns me off.Comment

So to come full circle, is this the mystery bad news that darkcoug was forecasting? Was Heimuli ever committed to BYU? It doesn't sound like he was.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Of course, the assumption that some people are making here is that BYU would have really been in the running for Hemuli even if they had a spot open. I think this story is a giant red herring.Comment
