BYU football: Afutiti ends juco red tape

Looking forward to seeing you on the field at LES.

Dick...where did you REALLY get this material? Always give credit to your source.

It's great to have this animal in Provo. He should turn some heads and maybe knock a few off.

This is one of the reasons BYU is dominating the u of u. This guy has a motor, motivation, and a can do attitude. The utah guy is sitting around waiting for somebody else to do it for him. That's why Harline and Collie are still open. The guys who were suppose to cover them are waiting for somebody else to do it.

This makes me wonder who's best interest those educators at Junior College have in mind? Just get the grades out so that their students can move on!

Same problem with JuCo's for Academic transfers in Washington State. Gives a student opportunity to miss Scholarships and classes.

Best bet is to be there in person.

Wow This seems like ti is word for word from Hans Olsen of of 1280 the zone. He has been talking this guy up for weeks, maybe Harmon should have listed him as a reference

When this guy lines up on opposing teams before the snap, he simply closes his eyes, and imagines them as education beurocrats and secretaries at Junior Colleges, and it geets him FURIOUS! He is ready to let loose and POUND THEM like a reception desk! ArGGGHHHH!!!

Woah.

Dick, you're only writing about this guy because Hans Olsen pointed him out to you. He'll be great!

I'm glad Bernard came to BYU instead of running off to a PAC-10 school the minute they showed interest like some others have done who originally said they were going to BYU. Guys like Afutiti will help take BYU to the next level and keep us there.

Hopefully Bernard will push Dulan to work to his potential. Mendenhall sounded like he was dissapointed in Dulan's work ethic lately. Nothing makes a player better than serious competition and it has not always been great at BYU. Usually we have very strong starters but not a ton of competition and some spots - especially when some of the competition may be just off missions and are still a season a way from being ready to push for that spot. The D-line is really looking like it will round into being our strength. I imagine those trench battles are something to watch in practice with such solid d and o-lines.

Why do so many Ute trolls respond to Dick's articles? They should find something else to do. Maybe they need counsoling. I'm glad to see this D-lineman in camp. I can't wait to see him on the field.

He is listed as a junior. He graduated in 05' and played last season at the JC. What happened in 06'? Why is he not coming in as a Sophomore with what appears as only one season playing time? If he sat out somewhere in 06' I would have hoped he got a redshirt but his bio says nothing about 06'. Love to see him have 3 years rather than 2 especially since he will probably not be at full potential for a few weeks and he has some good players in front of him.

Gaskins is the backup it was announced today. seems like there is good news every day at Cougar Camp.
looking forward to the NI game. hope the boys come to play as much as i come to cheer. look for the travelin cheeseheads in cognito as well. outstanding. Go Cougars!!!

It appears that the weak spot on the defensive front is at middle linebacker. If this guy is so fast, why isn't anyone proposing that he become a middle linebacker. He is big enough to fill up the middle and fast enough to roam sideline to sideline. Eliminate the weak spot, leave Dulan alone, and get this guy on the field for every down.

Wow, there is some BYU fan telling us all what the "utah guy" is doing while waiting for his grades to be posted. I'm sure that you know all the little details about what Aiona Key has or hasn't done to get things through, right? Here's a guy sitting at work posting comments on an article, wasting his employer's time and wasting my time.

I am close to the situation (work in the Athletic Department at the U) and happen to know that the teacher that hasn't posted Key's grade is in Europe. Afutiti didn't do anything special and didn't have to hunt down a rogue teacher. Really what you wanted to do is somehow work in the phrase that Harline and Collie are still open...original material might I add.

I hope BYU does well this year. I hope Utah does better. I agree with K. Hebstreit of ESPN that the "next Utah" and the "next Boise State" is Utah and Boise State, because they are good teams this year. Let the other BCS pretenders earn their stripes (a la BYU).

I appreciated the article. Not everyone listens to the Zone, and important players should be covered, regardless of who "discovered" them, IMHO.

"Why do so many Ute trolls respond to Dick's articles?"

Because they aren't really Utah fans, they're just BYU haters.

If you want to see the true Utah fans, go to RES when the Utes are playing Colorado State or San Diego State.

Why do so many Byu trolls respond to Utah/ articles? They should find something else to do. Maybe they need counseling. I think it goes both ways..

Go UTES!!!!

The middle linebacker calls the defensive plays. Would you really want a player who has only had a couple of weeks to learn the system to be calling the defensive plays?
