Because BYU safety Shiloah Te'o was kicked off the team for violating team rules earlier this month, the Cougars will most likely look at a junior college transfer to fill the void. "If we find one," Mendenhall said. "He has to be the right type of player."

Here are some safetys Bronco has already looked at, and mostly passed on:

Taumoelau Kaveinga (California), speed 4.5 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Taumoelau-Kaveinga-89362

Nick Okano (California), speed 4.52 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Nick-Okano-97958

Braden Anderson (Bingham, South Jordan, Utah), speed 4.53 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Braden-Anderson-96139

Max Morgan (Colorado), 4.56, speed 4.56 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Max-Morgan-104061

Eric Shannon (Colorado), speed 4.56 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Eric-Shannon-102527

While those kids look pretty good, they are all HS players. I think Bronco is looking for someone to come in and start next year and the year after who is more D1 ready. Freshman very rarely are, and then the mission delays them playing even more. Hence, the pursuit through the JC ranks. Johnson graduates and Bills will most likely be on a mission. So a big hole to fill there.

do we have anyone coming back? we got rid of one, and two are leaving? Sounds like we need more than one.



we also saw what our defense was like without Johnson. I shudder to think about next year.

Rich is a Junior this year, so he will be back. And I think Bills leaves on a mission, so need someone to take Johnson's role next year. Not sure what RM's we have coming back in the secondary either. Just know that the corners we have are too small to switch over to safety for next year.

Who cares that the corners are too small. Lets go with 5 of them. Wait, we have already seen the 3-3-5.

If he's a midyear transfer, we will be 180 lbs by the start of next year's season.

My daughter goes to Cirtus JC. There are 2 different "IN-N-Out" Burger joints within 8 min. of the school. Also a Carl's Jr., El Pollo Loco, Grand Burger (a Mom & Pop place - GREAT food!), Taco Bell, etc.



Hey I will personally buy Lewis a double-double animal style every day (w/ a chocolate shake) if he commits to the Y. Come on!!!!!

BYU still looking for a junior college safety

http://blogs.sltrib.com/recruiting/index.php?p=5374&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1



Tidwell said the Cougars still have three scholarship offers on the table for members of the class of 2010.



“Those aren’t spots to find and give, those are offers that are already out there,” he said. “So the offers are out there, but we don’t really have three extras, is what I am saying. But if they don’t commit to us, then we would have some different options."



Tidwell confirmed that the Cougars are looking hard for a junior college safety to transfer to the school midyear (in time for winter semester) and be able to participate in spring ball... “That’s one of our possibilities, yes, a mid-year safety that could come in and be ready to go right away,” he said.
