Spencer is the better of the two Hafoka brothers. He is bigger, stronger, and faster. I believe he was a 4 star recruit coming out of high school but he has been gone for 3 years since he went on his mission in October of what would have been his freshman year. I think he will be an impact down the road but is still pretty raw having been out of action for so long. A red shirt will do him good.

No clue how accurate this is. Based on what's being said about him from spring practice, it sounds right. Still, with the bevy of talent at WR, a red-shirt could be helpful.

Saying that I see BYU playing 4 wideouts any amount next year. I figure they will be Collie, Reed, Ashworth and Chambers. Ashworth didn't do much in 2005, but he is experienced and physical. I would see BYU leaning heavily upon Reed and Collie for the first few games and then seeing more and more of Ashworth and Chambers, probably at the expense of less and less of Michael Reed.

Saia sucks and is ALWAYS injured. Even when he wasn't injured he sucked and couldn't even crack the 3 deep chart.

Also Pitta has lost almost 20 pounds in the off-season and is now between 245-250. Last year,,,according to his Dad he was playing at around 265. But I agree about BYU leaning heavily on Collie and Reed for the first few games while the other youngsters get their feet wet, but BYU is working on some "new wrinkles" this year and don't be surprised to see some 4 WR sets in the upcoming as the new guys get more experience. By 4 WR sets too....I include Pitta in that as last year he was mostly lining up as a WR, and not at his traditional TE spot. And that was due to necessity from a lack of depth at WR and also to exploit matchups against smaller linebackers in the slot.

I don't know about new wrinkles, I was pretty happy with the old wrinkles. Interesting info on Pitta, I think he is going to explode next year....if Unga and Collie stay healthy, Pitta will crush teams in the middle of the field. BYU's offense next year might be its best ever.

That's your prerogative even though I'm 100% right.

I agree with a lot of what has been said. I think there is a lot of talent in the skill positions at the Y. I really wish BYU would exploit more no-huddle sets as a good way to create mismatches. Lining Pitta up as a WR on a DB would be huge. Collie and Reed are physical enough that they can play inside and block with the running game. And I think Unga is good enough as a receiver that you could split him out. I'd love to see a "big" line up with Pitta, George, Tonga, Collie and Unga on the field line up in a Tight-I formation in a short yardage rushing play, bringing 'heavy' personnel in defensively, only to go no-huddle the next play and spread the defense out. Either force them to burn a timeout, or have a mismatch somewhere with Pitta, Collie or George lined up one on one on an overmatched corner. I'm also interested to see what DiLuigi's true abilities are. I hope he doesn't turn out to be another Mahuika... a guy with physical talent, but can't put it together on the field, either because of injuries or just not being a good football player. Offensively there is a LOT of potential for this team. It could be a very very very fun year. |
