Great posts guys. I am already excited for next year and this one is not even over!

I would like to see the 4-3 on occasion. We should have more than 2 high pressure pass rushers that will bring our sacks up next year.

Brock Richardson is a d lineman. His brother Jordan, now on a mission was a state champion wrestler and will be tough to keep out of the rotation when he gets back.

What about the kid that was the ufc fighter. Seems like he was about 6'3" and 245. I think he was a linebacker.

Who are the RM's that might make a contribution or did well before they left?

Pretty sure that was Jadon Wagner.

Mauga is a D-lineman, 4 star JC all-american. He will be here in January and will have 8 months to compete with Denney and Jorgensen.

Chambers isn't out of the picture, but its not looking good. He now has Purdue as his #1 choice and BYU as his #2. I am fairly sure he is waiting until signing day to decide, and is coming to BYU's big official visit in January. He would be a great addition and tops my list of guys I want to see come to BYU.

As to how many scholarships are left, depends on a lot of things. How many of the guys are going straight on missions? How many are returning from missions? How many graduate? How many freshman are leaving on missions? BYU's recruiting is a logistical nightmare, but I'd guess there are 3-4 more.

The UFC fighter is Jadon Wagner, brother of Aaron Wagner who graduated last season. Wagner was that big a few months off his mission. He is apparently very fast and a little bit crazy, a good combination at ILB. He was getting reps with the 1s in spring before getting hurt (Linsfranc foot injury.) Im guessing he will be starting or sharing time at ILB.

As for linebackers, look for Doman, Nixon, Bauman and Hooks/Wagner to be the starters. Add on JC transfers like Tolu Moala and Coleby Clawson (led the #1 JC in sacks), BYU's defense is once again reloading, not rebuilding.

What about Austen Jorgensen? Is he going on a mission or did he already? Do you think he could crack the starting line-up? We'll also have Kevin Bills and Mike Alisa from T-view at LB. Both dominated during their senior year.

Is Manumaleuna going on a mission? Also Luke Ashworth and Steven Covey will be back from missions. Man we're going to be stacked with talent next year. It will be interesting to see who redshirts and who goes on missions.
