Players in the transfer portal

Him and a dozen others out there today according to ESPN.



What an enigma. Just don't really know what we had or lost.

Looks like Cade Fennegan moves up to QB2 for the bowl game.

Conover was either really bad or really mismanaged. With Hall most likely gone are we going into the transfer portal to get a QB1 with P5 experience? That's what I want. I believe Texas has a QB in the portal...

Ok, I updated the title of the thread to keep all these in here. But adding another player:

OL Campbell Barrington hits the transfer portal. He was a sophomore this year.

Conover is a surprise. He would be competing for the starting job.

WR Terence Fall also enters the transfer portal.

Freshman DL Logan Fano enters the transfer portal.

I wish they'd leave the notion of having prayed and received confirmation to move on from BYU football out of their declaration. By no means am I discounting what someone declares they received as an answer to prayer, but to me, it's the same as telling a kid that wants to go to a movie with friends on a Sunday and being asked to go pray about it comes out of his room and says, "God said it was okay." And, by no means am I saying all members of the Church need to go to BYU, but the notion that it was what God wanted before and now He doesn't? I have trouble believing that to be true, based solely on my experiences.

I know some of the analysts and those who know the players are lamenting these losses, but as a fan without personal connections, it is hard to lament too much.



OFFENSE

Jacob Conover

5 games over the past 2 years. 0-1 in 2022 in passing, 5-10 for 45 yards in 2021. 1 rush for 5 yards.



Campbell Barrington

15 games over the past 2 years. Didn't start this year in 8 appearances after starting 6 of 7 games last year.



Terence Fall

19 games over the past 3 years. Appeared in all 12 games in 2022. 1 catch for 19 yards and 2 rushes for 27 yards and a TD over his career. Mainly played on special teams.



DEFENSE

Logan Fano

0 game appearances. Returned from a mission and enrolled in January 2022 but suffered an ACL injury in spring ball.



Tate Romney

No career stats in 3 appearances in 2022.



I know the defense was weak and we didn't get to see these two guys contribute. But without a personal connection, availability is part of your ability and we never were able to benefit from the skills they showed in high school. Which is too bad. But at the end of the day, did we ever really benefit from having them? Were they expected to contribute or did they lose some standing with the injuries and would now have to fight for a spot to contribute? Barrington I think had contributed the most of all these--but even he had lost his starting spot this year after starting as a freshman.

This is a tough one. Yes, he was injured, but I believe he'll contribute or would have. I'd so like to know what induced him to move on to understand what's going on, but that won't happen.

It is sounding like his brother is committing to Utah today--and much of the Utah coaching staff and several players were at the Fano home last night. So my completely uneducated guess is he transfers to Utah to play with his brother.

Why didn't Barrington get on the field much this year? He started quite a bit the previous season didn't he? Did he regress or did we have better options? I really miss Grimes just for his ability to recruit and develop the OL.

I read something that said Kingsley beat him out--but then I also read that he can play anywhere on the line--and that he was battling an injury. But don't know what the actual deal is because he played off the bench in quite a few games.

Yeah, from VTF:

BYU’s top rated signee in the 2021 class, the former 4-star recruit tore his ACL in Spring ball after returning home from his mission. He redshirted this last season and has 4 years of eligibility remaining.

Since he didn't actually see the field can't blame the bad defense on him and would have liked to have seen him play before he left.

Jacob Conover commits to Arizona State.

As expected, Logan Fano commits to Utah

Terence Fall picks up an offer from Ed Lamb at Northern Colorado and an offer from Northern Arizona.

LB Keenan Pili is in the transfer portal for his final year of eligibility as a graduate transfer.

When a team captain bails, when the heir apparent QB bails, when a budding TE bails, when a freshman all American OLineman bails, and all as BYU heads to the Big 12, well, something is rotten in Denmark.
