Corbin not playing football and will walk onto the basketball team.

I sure hope he's an option because I'm losing my faith in our current/near future big men (with the exception of Aytes, who really isn't a big man).

That says something right there. Coach Rose has spoken.

Big fella. I hope he doesn't foul as much as his brother.

BYUs roster is loaded right now. I expect a lot of redshirts and maybe some defections before the season starts.

Is he ever going to play football or is he just going to focus on basketball?

Seems like the basketball team has like 19 people for next year.

Surfah alleges he will not play football.

Cougjunkie posits that there will be lots of redshirts and maybe defections before the season starts.

BYUs roster is loaded right now. I expect a lot of redshirts and maybe some defections before the season starts.

Here is the roster for next year:

Scholarship players
Haws
Austin
Winder
Sharp
Halford
Collinsworth
Fischer
Worthington
Aytes
Bartley
Andrus
Chatman
Nielson

I expect all 13 of the above to play on this years team as part of the 15 man roster.

Here are the walk ons:
Kyle Davis - Must redshirt as a transfer from USU
Dalton Nixon - I expect him to suit up as part of the 15 man roster
Corbin Kaufusi - I also expect him to suit up as part of the 15 man roster
Jake Toolsen - I expect Jake to redshirt this year while practicing with the team but not travelling.

By my count BYU has up to 15 scholarship players next year if Andrus and Nixon go on missions like is currently projected. Those 15 are:

SRs - 2 (Collinsworth, Fischer)
JRs - 4(Kyle Davis, Jamal Aytes, Frank Bartley, Luke Worthington)
SOs - 4 (Jordan Chatman, Casey Calvert, Isaac Neilson, Corbin Kaufusi)
FRs - 5 (Nick Emery, Braiden Shaw, Jaykob Hartsock, Zac Seljaas and Jake Toolsen)

I think that the fixes for this is for Calvert to play elsewhere and for Seljaas to go straight on a mission. There are other options such as Davis not getting a scholarship or for Worthington, Neilson or Shaw to move on. My total unqualified opinion is that Calvert will be gone but after him I have no idea and could see it being anyone. If Kaufusi establishes himself as the starting center this year I wonder if Worthington will return. It will make for a fun year to speculate about.

I thought Andrus was playing right away?

I thought Andrus was playing right away?

He is playing right away this year, '14-'15, as a true freshman and then going on a mission after this year which would have him not part of the roster next year, '15-'16.

Tav on Corbin:

@criddler21 brotha I'm telling you, the Kaufusi kid IS a hooper. Dude got all the tools to be a BIG TIME pro. Not just college. He's a pro!

Jonathan Tavernari @For3JT 10h

@_Thrill_ @criddler21 No. Nate is good, experienced, reads the game well. But if CK gets solid minutes, he'd start Soph-Sen. #NotBadPlan
