Takitaki not on the roster

Post by hawkwing »

Super talented guy, can't seem to get his head on straight enough to stay in good graces, even with this coaching staff.

How cruel would it be if Matt Foley was kicked off the team after getting that tattoo...

I read that Fuga might be a grayshirt this year to get back in shape post-mission as the team wasn't expecting him until next year. But I have no way to verify that.

Also they indicated that guys like Johnson who is missing while rehabbing an injury makes sense so they can take a look at guys who can take the field (only those on the 105-man roster can participate in practice)--and that they could still be added back in later should things change. There is only 79/85 scholarships used on the current 105 man roster (unless some of the 26 walk-ons currently on the roster newly received a scholarship).

(Kyle) Johnson appeared at photo day on Tuesday, however, and says he is just waiting to get clearance from his doctors to rejoin the team. Johnson said he had knee surgery in the offseason, but "the knee is doing great. My back is kind of bugging me. No big deal. They are just trying to see what they are going to do with it, but it is fine, for the most part."

Sitake said Utah transfer Moses Folauhola and recruit Keanu Saleapaga, who picked BYU in February over Colorado and others, are "working through some stuff" in an attempt to get added to the roster, but declined to specify exactly what they need to do to.

Everything I hear about Matt Foley and his temporary injury is good. I believe he should get cleared by doctors soon and start the camp acclimation period shortly.

That's strange, because I had heard he was living in a van down by the river.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,
