that's your guys LB coach. Oregon has already been busted for this shady type of shit before when Chip was there and I'd bet my left nut Oregon gets busted again.

your headed for shark infested waters...

The entire Oregon coaching staff just started following this kid's twitter. Now go play some baseball.

I would both love and hate to see a guy like this end up playing for the Nevada Wolfpack. I would love it because G5 programs never get 5* players. And I would hate it because San Jose State would have to play him every year.

Of course, if he did sign with Nevada, he would probably drop a star. Because that's how it works.

I'd rather see him play for Nevada than a PAC team ... or an SEC program.

Ultimately, I would like to see him (or any recruit) find a pathway to the future that best fits their needs/wants/etc. If I don't like where he ends up, that's on me. He certainly doesn't owe me anything.

Question for Utah fans especially but anyone can comment. I'm not sure if we've had a kid go on LDS mission before. I'm guessing Utah has experience with this. Is this a good thing? Do they always or usually come back to play football? Are they better because of the maturity or are they outta football shape and not as good? I seem to recall a kid at Notre Dame going on his mission then coming back and transferring to a Utah school (could have been BYU).

My guess is he wants to be closer to his family. I doubt Alabama is the choice if that's the case. Probably either Oregon or Cal.

I don't really care for it a whole lot but it depends on the kid. They are generally out of shape but by the end of fall camp are ready to go. Britain Covey for Utah just returned from his mission so you can watch him from 2 years ago to now for some comparison. They generally do grow up mentally though.
BYU will be recruiting your guy pretty hard while he's gone haha. And they can transfer when they get back without penalty because of the 2 year hiatus. See Harvey Langi transferring from Utah to BYU a few years ago for an example.

We'll see. The guy barely spent anytime at UW. If CP is really about family, he won't play petty games with this kid.

WTF does family have to do with him going to Oregon?

He wants to play somewhere within driving distance of Reno, given his family situation. I just saw on twitter that he's been given his release and can go to any school. That's what I expected.

Pssst: San Jose State is just four and a half hours from Reno!

Thats the messed up part of this. You spent all this time recruiting him ,he said yes, you gave him a scholarship and now he's gone for two seasons and he's a free agent when he gets back.

Exactly. Sometimes they are able to play as a freshman so you at least get a year out of them before they go.

Makes no sense. If he's going to play G5, mine as well play for Nevada.

Recruiting Mormons can be tricky. I'd never recruit a kid who wanted to do a mission in the middle of his college career.
