Bronco axed Kona. CB is going crazy.

What an interesting turn of events.

What an interesting turn of events.

Is axed the right term?

Does pulled scollie work for you?

The usual, "I know the real story and if you knew it you would totally support Bronco" comments are out there. Haven't seen them on CB, but have seen them. Let the stories start that he is worthy to attend BYU.

He threatened to pull if he started to investigate other schools.

Do most schools commit schollies to people who dont commit?

I wasn't implying anything just passing along the news. And yes, axed works as a descriptive term for this event.

Crazy in what way? That they're ready to give Mendenhall the Jamie Hill treatment? That they're ready to descend upon South Bend in order to give Kona the Jaime Hill treatment?

I see no problem with BM and the way he is handling recruiting with this one. He played hardball with the kid to prevent him from tripping to Notre Dame and it looks like it may backfire. That being said if this quote is true it is low blow by BM and inappropriate "He told us about how if Kona didn’t stay true to his commit by going to Notre Dame, then he couldn’t possibly expect him to stay true to the honor code and other things at BYU."

It is a 17-18 year old kid and to imply that backing out on a verbal commitment doesn't mean they cannot live the honor code. There are plenty of kids on the BYU team that appear to live the honor code even though they backed out on verbal commitments to other team.s

This is typical BYU fan bullshit. BYU would never suffer a decommit. It's got to be "Bronco pulled the scholie" (even though the writing was on the wall). Even when Utah basketball had the longest home winning streak in the nation I'd never have claimed the Huntsman Center was a bigger home court advantage than the Pit. But no, BYU fans have to have the toughest home court advantage, even this week when claiming that is counterproductive for their own team. If someone said UNLV has the best basketball tradition, I'd agree to disagree. If someone said Air Force has the most competitive undergraduate classes, I'd yield the point. I'd argue with you if you denied Utah is the best overall university in the conference academically, but that's about it. I'd probably make a case for Utah being the best overall DI tradition and program. But I wouldn't have to try to make Utah look invulnerable in every field.

Guess what. A decommit is not shameful! It means you're getting commits who are desireable.

BYU fans are such insecure assholes!

It is part of our DNA. You leave and join another church you are an apostate. You leave and join our church you are a convert. I have no problem with that if the words didn't have an inherent good and bad tone to them.

Pot meet kettle seems appropriate. Maybe asshole meets butthole.

This is typical Bronco. He's been smearing Mati Teo ever since he committed to Notre Dame saying he went there because he wanted to drink and screw around, etc.

Except he never said that. But good try!

No...no you are not. I especially dig the random capitalization of words to really drive his POINTS home.
