Racial make up of 12 early commits

[jay santos]

5 white
5 Polynesian
2 black

Not a bad combination for BYU.

I'll make the comment for you: I don't care if they're black, green, or blue, as long as they can play football. Yeah it doesn't matter, but then again it kinda does.

[MikeWaters]

athletic = black
ferocity and stength = polynesian
heady player = white

Let's make sure we get our definitions right.

Make that 3 black commits. BYU just picked up another black LDS player commit today.

EDIT: It appears he's going to be walking on.

Now while BYU football had nothing to do with this FYM joining our happy throng, without BYU football I doubt I would have ever read his story. That was a good story.

It is unfortunate you didn't get a committment from Goatnapper then you could add a gay person to your recruiting class demographics.

Wow. That kid has a great story; I'll be pulling for him. There were so many good quotes that I barely noticed the awful homerism of the first couple of paragraphs.

Really good story, I am happy for the changes the guy made in his life.

The first two paragraphs are some of the most awful homerism I have ever read in anything pretending to be a news article.

Good job BYU you are getting walk-ons that are turning down offers to college football schools so small, that a kid decides to pay his own way at a JC over taking the scholie.

Seems like a great young man, but I'm with mpfunk here. I don't see any reason for getting excited about him football-wise.

Agreed. Johnathan Huckvale is a different breed. Nice I'm sure...but doesn't have a particle of objectivity in his body. He makes BrandonGurney look objective by comparison. It would be like having Y'zguy write the article.
