Huge pickup for Lil Brother

[Deleted member 365]

I realize BYU can do next to nothing if a player they were counting on leaving for a mission does an about face and decides to stay. With that being said, its hard to believe that they hadn't at least heard that Pita was having doubts and may have wanted to stay here and be on scholly. How do you not free up Reynolds scholly so you can keep this guy?

To be honest, arrogance. I think BYU expected Pita to go on a mission. Oops, homework wasn't done as he still isn't even a member. So BYU has been waiting on him to become a member and go on a mission. Mistakes were made in that BYU used up all their scholarships. I haven't heard yet why Houston wasn't cut. It's a mystery to even the insiders.

BYU then offered him to walk-on. He did not accept. Huge mistake.

With the recent tragedy, Utah found themselves with a scholarship to give. They offered it to Pita and the rest is history.

BYU really screwed the pooch on this one in epic ways. This kid is an insane recruit. Probably one of the top in the entire region. He flat out dominated Utah HS in ways that even King Lebronson Kaufusi didn't in HS. He easily will be a Van Noy like player. Maybe even better as his speed off the edge is scary.

My hope is that he will already be drafted into the NFL by the time the rivalry restarts. He will be a tremendous building block for the new coaching staff next year.

Umm. What have you been reading? Because there was none of that in here. I forget your a teacher and don't know how to read.

Interesting. I wonder if Bronco is doing the Reynolds family a solid and keeping him on scholly for a little while. If so, a pretty nice gesture that was horribly bad for business.

I was thinking the same thing, then I went back and read Lefty's post where he mentions the inferiority complex that some fans carry. Then it made perfect sense.

Is that accurate? I hadn't read that in the news articles I saw. If so, I agree that BYU made a serious mistake.

Because our media is incredibly lazy.

They merely just repeat whatever the university spokesperson says. Dig deeper and actually investigate and you'll uncover some of these details. I am still connected to several coaches in Utah County. And from what I have heard, pita has still not been baptized into the LDS church. I am not sure why. It does not appear to be anything shady necessarily.

Those who think that Cary Whittingham had much to do with this really don't know their situation. Pita was BYU's until this fell apart. If BYU had a scholarship for him he would still be BYU's. BYU messed up and Utah just had an opening.

Well I wish the cougars could have got him, but since they didn't, at least he is staying in state.

Nice pick up for the utes
