I am convinced that Doman sees Timo and Nelson being similar to Staley and himself. I have often felt that part of Majerus' demise was trying to recreate the blend of talent and personalities on his '98 squad post '98.

I doubt either Timo or Nelson are as good as Staley and Doman were respectively. I like the big backs power run game with a good timing passing game. It works at BYU, don't ehf it up.

Timo is going on a mission straight out of high school, so you won't see him on the field for a few years still.

Also, of all the commits they've got at RB from the 08' and 09' classes, he's easily the one with the most combined talent and upside. In my opinion of course. I saw him play live this year and he'll be better than Curtis Brown. I'd compare his style as a Jamal Willis/Curtis Brown combo, but faster than Curtis, and about the same speed as Jamal.

I like Timo at RB, but I am not a fan of getting enamored with option quarterbacks.

Jason Munns will start over Riley Nelson. Nelson will finish his career as a safety or wideout.

You believe Munns will start as a frosh his first year back after a mission? I don't know much about him, but I thought word was that he wasn't that impressive in practice as a freshman. What's the scoop? I think Nelson would be reasonably successful, given his experience and that he'd have a year to back Hall up before he started.

While I agree that Munns, and Heaps (if he signs) are the future at QB for BYU, Riley Nelson is going to stay at QB and I won't be a bit surprised if he's the starter in 10', cause Munns won't be that year. He left on his mission in late Spring of 08' and he won't have been back long enough to be the starter, and I'm not counting on Heaps starting as a True freshman, even if he does enroll early as he's been planning on.

Unless Munns comes home from his mission early, book it now: 2010 Starter at QB: Riley Nelson.

Whatever happened to Lark? Did he not pan out?

Also, does anyone know what happened to Seta Pohahau (sp?). I assume he's at a JC somewhere. Is there a chance that he'll still make it to Provo?

James Lark is on his mission after being the 3rd stringer last year. Coaches were disapointed with James during his tenure at BYU. Since then his girlfriend on another BYU athletic squad was killed in a tragic accident.

This is just a guess on my part combined with some info I've heard from others that most would not be surprised if Lark decides to go elsewhere after his mission service is over,,,,but you never really know.

Seta Pouhaha was ruled academically ineligible. Bronco and Co. advised him to head to Snow and get his AA Degree, but he declined and has decided to "continue studying" and retake the exams so that he can get a higher score and qualify to join the team in the Winter. My take on that one is simple: I'll believe it when I see it. Most believe that Seta was the best back we'd signed in 5 years or so, but I think Timo has more upside than he does, but I'm admittedly in the minority on that one.

Do you know when Nelson gets back from his mish?

Nelson comes home in March I believe.

Lark is on a mission left same time as Munns.

I think we need a JC kid to be the stop gap between 2010 and Munns and/or Lark. I just dont think Nelson is that good.

Also it would not surprise me to see Heaps starting as a true freshman, he is that good.
