More Possible Position changes??

Why move Keoshian to RB?? Especially with Stout likely going on a mission this summer. Couldn't we still use Keoshian at LB?? Our DE's need help. Hopefully Alani Fua can put on some massive weight in the off-season. He could be a terror at DE/OLB. Also, hope Eason's injury isn't too serious as it appears he won't participate in spring ball

Eason had off season surgery and it has been known he will probably miss Spring Ball for a while. Keoshian played RB in high school as well and was a beast, and I am sure they are just giving him a look there. After Kariya graduates this year, we need a strong short yardage back in the fold to add depth because right now, we have more smaller type backs on roster, or really slow guys and Keoshian can run. PLus, we have plenty of depth at LB, so a temporary switch sounds pretty good. I do wonder have Keoshian might look ta safety too, though.

One of the knocks on Keoshian was his "LACK" of speed. Maybe his weight training program has kicked it up a gear.

I thought stout was a likely no go for a mission?



Who runs this cougarcenter website anyway. Why should I even believe that.

I think Keoshian is a 4.55 guy, which is slightly faster than Harvey Unga. The reason he got less looks was because he played at a small Christian school that played 7 on 7 football. It wa not lack of speed, but lack of competition that recruiters questioned.

I would take anything from Cougar Center with a grain of salt, they get most of their "information" from twitter and CougarBoard. Not that they're often times wrong or misleading, just that they aren't any more connected to the situation than anyone else.

Good to know, you can delete this thread if you want.

Not to be rude, but how would you know where Cougar Center gets their info?

No offense intended, JimmerJammer. I read CougarCenter's stuff and think it's good opinion stuff, I just didn't think they had any deep insider information. I'd love it if you could prove me wrong.

Such as the Spring roster?

Terren Houk?

I heard Andrew Rich on 1280 earlier this week and he said Mike Hage switched to DB. Anyone hear that? More info?

I hear he moved to safety, which he played in high school. Mike is a fast kid, and a very physical kid. Not sure if he has a RS left, but he could be really good in the role Rich held for us because he would be one physical presence like Rich was. I thought he had the making of a great fullback, but I guess the staff thought he was better suited to play safety. He has the mentality.

I honestly think that kariya should move to fullback. He has NFL caliber as a fullback, and none as a rb. If he can run and block like he picks up blitzes, he could definitely land an NFL paycheck.

I was surprised that he hasn't been playing safety ever since enrolling at BYU. I thought that he was all-state on defense, not as a running back, in high school. Seems like this is a move 4 years too late.

Bryan doesn't have NFL aspirations so I think he's fine where he is.

He can give them to me, then. And I will trade him for my "go back to school and get my Masters" aspiration.
