Will Unga stick around for 2010?

Apparently, word on the street—in the e locker room--has it that Harvey will NOT be returning, due to a recent squabble he had with Bronco at a team testimony meeting. During a moment of spiritual weakness Harvey made the following remark:



“How much reverence can I have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of creation?"



Bronco naturally did not find the comment appropriate and replied by saying, ""The trouble with you is that you think you're too good for all the conventions of this team and university. You probably think you're too good for me too, just because I arrived at puberty late. Well, do you know what you are? You're a frustrated, unhappy, disillusioned, undisciplined, maladjusted young man!" Bronco's disposition seemed to mellow as he reeled off the uncomplimentary adjectives.



"Yes, sir," Harvey agreed carefully. "I guess you're right, and I would like to take this opportunity to let you know I will not be returning for my senior season."



Too bad for our program. If only Bronco could have taken a more diplomatic approach. :sulk: :sulk: :sulk:



Peter, The Rock!

Dang! :)

THIS is the insider info that keeps me coming back! ;) :lol:

But then Bronco offered to sign his balls and the crisis was MOSTLY averted.

Good luck to Harvey, whatever he chooses to do. He's a fine young man.



I agree that he can't do much more next year to enhance his pro-potential than what he has already done up to this point. This is the beef I had with Trent Plaisted when he left early, that he wasn't fully ready and he wouldn't be desirable enough to teams/coaches.



My main concerns for Unga's professional football viability:

Injuries (both current and potential in the future)

Lack of speed



I don't see him going high in the draft or starting in the NFL afterwards. But he's a tough kid with a big frame and deceptive quickness, to go along with excellent field vision and good hands. Not sure where to grade his blocking. I do see him sticking to a team and making a good deal of money. He's earned it and he deserves it.

So why the ire for Collie? Couldn't you have said the exact same thing about him and just swapped the name (except for maybe the "big frame" part)? And in hindsight, he is actually starting in the NFL... on one of the best teams, being thrown to by the best QB in NFL history.

Collie isn't a douche just because he left BYU early. I thought of him as a douche long before that, a selfish "Me-First" type of guy that hurts team moral and is always focused on his personal stats and how great he is. His bailing on the Cougars after helping them two two blow-out losses just sealed my opinion of him, and I'm sticking to it.

I didn't like Collie's personality, but I thought the team was better with him playing.



I know that I feel differently than many BYU fans here, and I'm okay with my opinion being unpopular on this one. It's just an opinion though, and as the saying goes "opinions can't be wrong".
