According to http://www.byucougars.com we have received LOI from all of our verbals already except for:



Jordan Afo

Graham Rowley





No surprises yet as far as a recruit that wasn't on the list getting Kona's scholarship. We haven't lost anyone yet.

Hopefully Graham Rowley is still asleep in Hawaii and not struggling to fax in his LOI now that it is time. He is a 4 star recruit with offers from Pac 10 schools.



We shouldn't be too worried about Jordan Afo signing since his only other offer was Utah State.

ESPN is still listing them as verbally committed. ESPN is behind what BYU has released, I know, but BYU can't comment on them at this point.



Rivals is way behind the curve. Is BYU being ignored there?

Rumblings are that Utah put the full court press on afo the past few weeks. That would be ridiculous for afo to ditch byu for utah after utah waited on teh sideline to see how he healed from his injury while byu stuck with him.

Nothing confirmed I've seen yet. If there are defections, I'd rather they be in our direction.

You may not be interested but here is the hawaii live feed link to hawaii players committing. i think rowley should be there.

FWIW, Kona officially signed with Notre Dame.

AMAZING! All but two of our commits are in by 8:48 am. With a class like this that is amazing. the coaches have done a wonderful job with the help and leadership of jake heaps. very impressive.



i think afo and rowley will commit to byu and it will be an amazing day for the cougars.

Kona signed with nd.

in other news, The BYU basketball team was the first to 20 wins... ;)

No surprises. Everyone has signed expect for Jordan Afo and Graham Rowley(his on Hawaiian time so that night be a few more hours). Also the drama kid is leaning towards Notre Dame and Ricky's leaning towards Oregon.



GO COUGARS!!!

25 players have already signed. How many scholarships do we have to give?

Not enough! The mission factor has an effect. Anyone have details on how that might be a factor?

Not a huge surprise. At least now BYU coaches can comment, though I doubt they will have much to say about him, even if asked.

Afo in!



Jordan Afo

Defensive Line

6-4, 300

Salt Lake City, Utah

Cottonwood HS



Ranked the No. 15 football recruit out of the state of Utah by Rivals.com ... totaled 19 tackles in 2009, helping his team to an 8-4 record ... suffered a broken back during his junior year ... also recruited by Utah and Utah State ... coached by Cecil Thomas.

ESPN has him listed as signed. ESPN also notes a serious injury. Here is where Bronco's commitment to a player paid off.

On a somewhat sidenote, it looks like ucla is having a great day.

a few are heading straight on missions so will not apply until the future. usually have about 21-22 each year. 85 players total on athletic schollies. Of course, if some qualify for academic ones, that helps too.

Heimuli to oregon.

AWESOME. When I saw that UCLA had 4 DT signed already, I figured it would be Utah or Oregon. Glad he is a Duck. But wish he was a Cougar.

Thats it folks. all are in! Great day. What a class.





Graham Rowley

Defensive Line

6-4, 270

Waialua, Hawaii

Waialua HS



Ranked the No. 11 offensive guard in the country by Scout.com ... a first-team all-state selection by the Honolulu Advertiser ... has quick feet, balance, and the ability to use his hands ... 1.56 10-yard dash and 4.82 40-yard dash times ... also recruited by Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, SMU, Stanford and Washington ... coached by Lincoln Barit.

I see that the Utes added a DB out of California. His name? Joseph Smith. Nice.



Anyone have a list or BYU's preferred walk-ons, and walk-ons for this year? Did we add that Snow Safety as a walk-on? Just curious which non-schollie guys we have. Seems a few always play for us.
