Not a BYU fan but I am a Austin Collie fan, the kid can flat out play!
I do think he comes across as a little goofy comparing football to learning Spanish for the mission. Yes, they both involve learning, but they IMO are two very different things to learn.
Now about this impulse buying spree Bronky is on...
The guy has 9 scholarships remaining and is loaded down with juniors in high school. Might be good athletes , but my money is on Coach Kyle as he has more time to evaluate and give some dark horses another year to develop. His way of recruiting also leaves the door open for transfers, JC players,High school seniors, and returned missionaries.
On paper YBU is leading Utah in recruitment points, but a lot of that is because they have signed so many that have yet to shave.
On the other hand, Whittingham has 18 scholarships left in his bag of tricks and all of the time in the world to sell and sign a more mature & promising student-athlete.
Give it three years and then time will tell how this all plays out , but in my opinion " patience is time well spent."
BTW since when is having a big mouth part of the recipe for success?
Wow! an article about Austin Collie and you're talking BYU recruiting - You've got them under your skin -cleanse yourselve bro - good luck Collie
I'm proud to see so many Ute fans wishing Collie good luck. At this point, despite breaking my heart a few years ago, he is a guy from the state of Utah and a guy from the Mountain West Conference. I hope he wins the starting slot job and that he shines. It makes BYU look better, the state look better, and the conference look better.
Its too bad to see all the BYU fans posting nothing but digs against Utah (ie. ute DB's in training camp @ 7:50). Stop infatuating yourself with the better college team, and start posting relevant comments to this article.
