So I golfed with Jason Walker, new head coach at Westlake High and former DC at Timpview (Hawaiin kid not the one from Springville who played safety for BYU in the late 90's) and he was really positive on Bills. He really thinks the kid is good enough to start at BYU next year and is a likely multi-year all conference player. I like the Bills. I like that KC bitchslapped that drunk Poke fan back in 2005 while in a foggy stupor. I thought KC could have been a good player if not for the injuries.
Now we know that the probability that a true freshman starts for Hill at safety is about as likely as God repealing that "Thou shalt not commit adultery." However, if Bills can demonstrate the mental side many believe he posseses he should be able to overcome the issue most freshman at BYU could not. Namely, he should be able to master the coverages and where he should be.
Personally, I like BYU's safeties. I wish Scott Johnson were a better athlete but he will be adequate and will get folks in the right places. In fact I think he will be above average and he will only be limited by the fact that he is not the most gifted athlete. Most of you know that I like Andrew Rich and believe he will compete for all conference type of honors the next two years.
My guess is Shiloah Teo will back up either safety and that Andrew will play free safety when he and Teo are on the field simultaneously.
How much do you folks think Bills plays this year, assuming Johnson, Teo and Rich all stay healthy? I think Strong Safety is the easier position to learn at BYU and my guess is that is where Craig will play, if he does. Is there a chance that BYU might choose to redshirt Teo, to give him 3 years as a starter and play Bills as the primary backup this year?
Can the BYU coaches depend upon Travis Uale at all yet? I believe that Bills will go on a mission after this year and it appears to me likely that Uale will be the primary back up at safety in 2010. If he is dependable enough as a 4th option and if Bills can pick up the defensive assignments perhaps the coaches could redshirt Shiloah. It will be interesting to see if Bills is as good as Walker indicated and how BYU uses him next year.
