Hard to get your hopes up with 18 yo kids that change their mind every couple days. Looks like the same dynamic might be going on here that was going with the big DL that went to Oregon (can't remember name). BYU has positioned itself to be the school to attend if he wants to put church and mission first. The BCS school has positioned itself as the football school. Might be nice if we told him: you can go on a mission if you want but that's up to you, we're in the business of developing football players and putting them in the NFL. |

Haloti Ngata.
Probably the best player at BYU in a decade, if he had come. |

I hope so.
USC doesn't need him but we do. USC will just plug in another four or five star in his place. He's a fungible commodity at USC but he's a godsend at BYU.

Mission after college, presumably leaving right before NFL combines?
Ok, we have a kid with serious reality issues, which is not a good harbinger for BYU. |

Chambers has yet to qualify academically and Kaveinga is tripping to USC where they just may offer him a salary he can't refuse.
Is it possible BYU loses both of their prized recruits? At this point, it seems very much possible. |

It's not a reality issue, it's a truth issue. And I'm not judging because I do believe it's a tough issue, and it's a bit of a cultural issue. White lies are less of a sin than confrontation.

FWIW, his father favors USC, and that carries a lot of weight with the poly kids. I'm interested to see where he ends up; if at SC it's probably to appease his parents, at BYU, I'd say he's following his own heart. |

I can hear them over on TBS now. "How will his Dad feel when his kid doesn't go on a mission and end up like Havili." |

This is going to be a real test for Bronco, to see if he can actually get this fish in the boat. |
