    Doesn't this make 4-5 recruits, including football, to have suffered injuries on official visits over the past few years? The first one I remember was Manaia Brown but I believe there have been 2 or 3 others since then. At what point should we start to worry about a trend?
    At what point do the lawyers advise against this activity?
    "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

      I think the other ones were snowmobiles. This was an ATV accident.

        There is only one relevant question in ths situation: Did he do the dance?
        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                BYU fans were tripping over themselves to wish the kid well after the NCAA decision was upheld. I didn’t get it. This guy has done more damage to the program than anyone in history and really didn’t seem to think he’d done much wrong.I feel like the tweet matches his personality and I’ll be surprised if he was hacked. It’s mind blowingly stupid to piss away all that undeserved goodwill. I don’t think I can name another BYU athlete who has gotten himself canceled by the fan base. Nick did it in one tweet.

                    I probably shouldn't comment on this, since I haven't really followed BYU basketball very closely since Jimmer left, but is it possible that Emery's "retirement" wasn't voluntary and that he was actually pushed out by Pope? I wouldn't be surprised if Pope decided he didn't want to deal with Nick's baggage during his first season. Or maybe something else happened that made BYU/Pope decide that it was time to cut ties. Maybe that is why Emery is going after Pope now. I understand why Nick would be pissed about that, especially if he missed out on the draft (or other professional opportunities this season) thinking he would play one more year at BYU. Was Nick good enough that this scenario is implausible?

                    Regardless, taking a shit on your former team, that you claimed you loved, to a big recruit is one of the most shameful things a former player can do in my eyes.

                      Wouldn’t surprise me at all if his retirement wasn’t his idea. Even if what he said is true, its astounding that he thought he could be the one to deliver that message.

                        Emery’s ex-in laws appear to be vindicated?
                        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                          Yeah that can't be a factor for him.

                              He tweeted that directly to a 5 star recruit. Total douche move

                                Didn't think it would be ... but like I said, haven't really followed BYU basketball for a while.
