Recruiting 2014

[Indy Coug]

Like BYU71 said Indys expectations of the program are off the charts.

Interesting that Mamas top 10 includes Florida (Spread team), Ohio State (spread team), Wisconsin (Gary ran the spread at USU), Florida St. (modified spread).

Interesting that none of them run at the pace that Oregon and Arizona do.

While I understand your concern, this seems like bizarre stance for you to be taking. Yes, 370 may not be ideal for BYU's offense, but who gives a rat's ass how much he weighs or if he's the ideal size for the scheme if he's good. I'd rather have a 370 lb lineman who can play than a 295 OL who is a POS.

I don't follow recruiting closely, but it doesn't seem like BYU has a bunch 4-5 star, 280-320 lb guys beating down it's doors.

Yes, it's always a good idea to recruit square pegs for your schematic round holes.

Look at this way, if he doesn't work out on the O-line I am sure he will make a fine nose tackle.

See ya Kurtz. What does Welker have to say abut that?

I know. Dang, i was hoping to get that kid.

If the square pegs are significantly better players than the round pegs, then yes, it is a great idea.

I would bet that byu does not run at that pace either.

And that may be Indy's underlying point. That despite Anae's or fans expectations, BYU will not be running at that pace, hence the reason they are going after a 370 lb OL.

[Surfah]

I don't care if the OL weighs 250 or 350. If he is that highly rated and sought after and BYU is in the mix then we should do what we can to land him. I don't care if he doesn't fit a certain scheme or not. We're worrying about a square peg in a round hole and we have yet to see a single down of this new offense. Besides, if he is a player, he is a player and any coach worth their weight can find a place for him. Like CJ said, NT seems like a viable fallback for someone like him. It is ridiculous that BYU should say no thanks to a kid with offers from every school that has been in the top 25 the last 5 years.

[Blueintheface]

Yep, it's July.

Thankfully, this is all a theoretical exercise, because there's no way in hell Mama is coming to BYU.

You're probably right. But that doesn't mean Anae and BYU stops recruiting.

We can always use another Ofa.

I'll wager they do. Why do you doubt? The coordinator is certainly committed to it. What will stop them if he is calling the shots?

I would assume that even if that's the goal it would take them a while a work up to that pace. I would also expect a lot of early time outs and confused QBs. I'm surprised that Bronco is on board with this, frankly, since an Oregon-speed offense tends to make good defenses look bad (by regular metrics, which is still what most people pay attention to). Maybe not, but it seems like defensive HCs don't have speedy offenses as often.
