Let the speculation begin :roll:

Recent tweet from Guy Holliday.



If change is always good there would be a lot more divorces because everyone believes the grass is always greener

Retweeted by Jason Shepherd



Makes one wonder if he is managing perceptions on Leavitt announcement or if there are more "changes" coming that he isn't necessarily liking.

I have my theories, but will withhold at the current time.

WHAT? Leavitt played a lot his first two years. Maybe Jackson past him up the last game or two but he is gone. Leavitt would be the started next year. What is he thinking? I need more information.

Seriously. I am beyond curious as to why Leavitt would transfer.



Sounds like Kearsley is transferring too. Strange.

I was at BYU when his dad Jared played. I've talked with him several times this and last year at games. Great guy. I have no inside info. Hate to see this kid go.

Really too bad if he transfers. He was a force when healthy.

Wants to go to USU.

Is he worried about the young guys taking his reps? Nacua? Or someone else?

Actually the series of interesting tweets from Guy Holliday continues:

Never be discouraged by those who leave be encouraged by those who are coming. Translation happens but the foundation is Solid #BYUfootball

I have to be honest I WILL GUARANTEE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY BUT YOU HAVE TO COMPETE. NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THEIR JOB. #compete



Coach Guy Holliday @eagle88me · 43m 43 minutes ago

If a coach guarantee's you that your going to start what does that say about him and his players only telling you what you want to hear



Coach Guy Holliday @eagle88me · 42m 42 minutes ago

If your going to be GREAT YOU HAVE TO COMPETE. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN NFL YOU HAVE TO BE BEST 150 Wr's in world regardless of age



I REALLY like Coach Holliday. He is a stand up guy who tells you like it is. Every interview I've seen has been impressive.

The Guy tweets deserve their own thread. What is up with that? Has to be more than just about Leavitt. And more than Leavitt and Kearsley. He is clearly using social media to send a msg to transfers or recruits who dissed him or BYU. I hope it doesn't portend other bad things. I'm glad he is doing it, but it could sound a bit whiny. To anyone else?

Whats most interesting about Guy's tweets? The fact that he is the WR coach. Why would 2J be tweeting about Kearsley and Howell about Leavitt? From what i've gathered over time, I've come to believe that Coach Holliday' is the Byu football twitter announcer type guy..... Derrick Stevenson ripping on Bronco and Coach Howell and its coach holliday mending fences via twitter.



As far as Dallin transferring goes. What the???? :skeptic: :skeptic: To Utah St? :sick: :sick: To a MWC team? :bug: :bug: If your going to down grade at least go to a D2 team and not have to sit a year. Dallin would be starting next year in Lincoln!!! Byu's 2015 is loaded with great venues and he'd be a leader of the secondary on those teams. Povey, Jackson and Bills are gone, he's a shoe in with the experience he has. This seems to be a personal thing for Dallin to want to "down grade" instead of returning.

Hmm we don't really have a lot of DB's coming back next year.



What Nacua and Praetor are the only guys with lots of playing experience? After that there are a bunch of guys who haven't been able to get on the field.

Juniors

Kai Nacua

Michael Davis

Micah Hannemann, True So.

Sawyer Powell, RS Freshman

Sam Baldwin, True Freshman (walk-on)

Connor Noe, RS Freshman (walk-on)

Morgan Unga, RS Freshman (walk-on)



And these newcomers:

Khari Vanderbilt (JC transfer Junior from San Jose City College)

and local Utah stars

Dayan Lake (Northridge HS, 1 year before a mission)

Riley Burt (Box Elder HS, no mission plans)



Should be interesting to see how that plays out.

Fonua going on a mission?

Per twitter yesterday; Riley Burt is going to play RB at Byu.

I'd assume if Khari Vanderbelt stay's true to his commitment he will have a very good chance at starting next year opposite Nacua.

- That senior class has ZERO game experience, that speaks volumes. Sam Lee can't get/stay healthy. Trent Tramell couldn't beat out freshman this year for PT at corner.

I'm guessing Mike Shelton will get a lot of playing time with Mike Davis and Preator at corner. We need safeties though. Guessing we get 1 more JC guy in this class. Thaddeus Philyaw??

There are some DB/S on the outstanding offers list:

Zayne Anderson, S, Stansbury HS, Tooele, UT - Verbal to USU last Dec but has since re-opened his recruitment, offers from USU, BYU, Boise St., Washington

Thaddeus Daniels, CB, JC transfer Ceritos CC, has offers from Utah, BYU, USU, and UAB (oh--nevermind)

Trevor Brent, CB, 2* from Mesquite, TX, offers from BYU, Boise St., Yale
