17 freshmen going on missions
They are all leaving beginning of january, and will all be allowed to return in December, before the Holidays. (and most importantly, will be able to enroll for the Winter semester). A special dispensation. I understand that our two freshmen DL starters/contributors are among the 17.

Insider information. Human to Human. You can take it to the bank.

By the two contributing defenders do you mean Dulan and Tonga? My understanding was that Dulan was only 17, so he couldn't leave in January unelss they changed the rules. I'm most interested in this concept of them all leaving together in January and coming home in December. I like the organized approach to it, but I would think that birthdays would dictate that it wouldn't go down like that. That would be sweet if the brethren made a new rule for freshmen athletes (BYU only of course) that they could leave on their mish Jan after frosh year no matter their age. |

I was told that it was two starters on offense, and two starters on defense. McKay would be one of them. Perhaps "starters" is loosely defined.
I have no idea about Dulan or about age issues. But I am told they are leaving as a group, these 17, in January. |

Probably Hague is the other reference to offensive "starter". I'm not surprised about sending 17 (or at least a bunch) on missions, but all in January is the intriguing part to me, since I'm sure many of those will turn 19 after Jan, thus the question of whether or not this is a new exception by the brethren for athletes.

one of my companions on my mission was supposed to go home beginning of December. Without asking his family, he extended his mission. He wrote them of his decision. MP pulled strings to get him extended. After 3 or 4 weeks of no return letter, he finally got the inkling that perhaps his family was pissed off. He then asked the MP to cancel his extension. The exasperated MP then said "No more extensions."

Ian Dulan is too young to go on a mission and will be playing next year.
