Sitake Has Spring Football Winning Lottery Ticket Ever wonder what you would do with the money if you won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes or a mega lottery? How would you allocate those assets that fell into your lap? Municipal Bonds? REITs? Seems to me that you would want to be very prudent in your asset allocation so the windfall you inherited would give you and your family a long term rate of return. Those were my thoughts exactly sitting in LaVell Edwards Stadium Saturday observing what was euphemistically called a spring game. Taysom Hill wasnt there. He was involved with a death in the family in Pocatello. He didnt need to be at the scrimmage. He has proven what he can do as a quarterback when healthy. Mangum Was There Tanner Mangum was there. Let me just say this. Based on how Mangum threw the ball last year as a true freshman just a couple of months off an LDS mission and based on how he threw the ball Saturday, Taysom Hill will have to be the incarnation and amalgamation of Tom Brady-Peyton Manning-Joe Montana to have thrown the ball better than Mangum did Saturday. He was spectacular. That said, I dont think Mangum will be the starting quarterback for BYU in September. Its all about asset allocation. Kalani Sitake hit the jackpot when he was hired as the new coach of BYU. He didnt inherit a team that was bereft of talent. Especially at quarterback. Normally when a school hires a new coach it is because they dont have a quarterback and havent had one for a few years. In Sitakes case, he inherited not one, but two big time signal callers. Now the new BYU coach and his staff have to figure out how they are going to allocate their inherited assets at quarterback. How are they going to make their bonus money last the longest? Hill is a valuable option whose expiration date is just a few months away. He is the choice to play while this staff can and get maximum production and efficiency out of him. Even if he isnt as productive as Mangum as a passer. Plus, with Mangum still an option, the Cougar coaches have hedged their investment in case Hill has another dramatic market downturn or injury. Mangum is the new Cash is King in this new Sitake market. He is the safety net for the windfall that Sitake and staff are trying to invest and protect. A bad game or another bad break of a bone by Hill and Mangum is all the capital needed to save the BYU football economy. But as with any investment, there is no sure fire guarantee. With Hill as the starting quarterback, you get a proven commodity. If Mangum redshirts, you have the ultimate money market reservoir. If Mangum redshirts, then on paper he has three more years to play for the Cougars. I dont see that happening. He is too good of an NFL prospect to spend another four years at BYU. Plus, he is getting married. That makes a difference. As I learned a long time ago, being married and making money are joined at the hip. What I am saying is that ideally if Hill starts and lasts the year, BYU gets a bonus season at quarterback. If he doesnt last, they then have a backup ready to go who is just as good if not better, than Hill. On paper, this looks like the perfect investment strategy. Play Hill, redshirt Mangum and then get three more years out of him. In my money management scheme, I just dont see Mangum ever playing a senior season at BYU. He is too good and will be too old to let his NFL dreams die of geriatrics. Tutorials If you want a good tutorial on the NFL draft works and how and who becomes eligible, I suggest you click here <http://operations.nfl.com/the-players/the-nfl-draft/the-rules-of-the-draft/ > . If you want a good tutorial on transitioning from being single to being married, I suggest you click <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooM-RGUTe2E> your heels together three times and think to yourself, theres no place like home. Sitake is in a sweet spot. He finds himself in the same situation as Jay Leno is when it comes to cars. Do I drive the Aston Martin One-77 or the Ferrari F60 America? Do I play Hill or Mangum? Regardless of what Sitake and Ty Detmer do at quarterback, here is a little asset allocation advice for you. Spend some money on season football tickets and make sure you get your name down for yearly renews. It looks like it will be one of your best investments that will start paying dividends immediately and continue for a long time. If I had an Aston Martin or Ferrari (Hill or Mangum), I wouldnt be parking them on the street. I would want them protected. Ditto for Hill and Mangum. They need protection from their offensive line regardless of how talented both are. So heres a little investment tip. Buy Tejan Koroma stock. It looks like he will more than likely be back on the roster by fall. He hasnt been in school since January and spent six weeks in Arizona working out with Devon Blackmon and DAndre Wesley and a trainer friend. He also spent time rehabbing some academic issues. My understanding is that he needs to take and pass three classes and seems to be on track to do just that. According to a source, Koroma has ignored overtures from other programs and is extremely anxious to be back in school generally and at BYU specifically. According to this source, Koroma will be back, or will die trying. If that is true, that will be like money in the bank for Hill and Mangum and BYU fans who have been worrying about the offensive line for this fall. Stock Picks One more stock tip. I dont own any shares (Class A or class B) of Berkshire Hathaway stock. Click here <https://www.google.com/search?q=berkshire+hathaway+stock+quote&ie=utf-8&oe= utf-8> for a recent price quote. I am willing to bet, however, that BYU is the only college football team in America who will have a player on its roster who does own Berkshire Hathaway. That has nothing to do with spring football, but does kind of relate to cashing in on the lottery and asset allocation. And no, I am not revealing who that player is. I will reveal, however, my spring football stock picks. Quarterbacks: Buy, buy, buy. This is as blue chip as it gets. On any dip buy and hold. Running Backs: You buy this for a solid dividend, not for growth. Lots of hype in this one but the fundamentals dont support any big upside move. Wide Receivers: A good utilities stock. Functional and safe, but never going to be a big winner. Tight End: The Josh Weeks headlines didnt help this stock, but as in most trading, the headline is worse than the actual facts and fundamentals. Stay tuned. Offensive Line: Technically speaking, this stock is in a consolidation phase. Looking for a nice head and shoulders bottom, but would settle for more of a mean and nasty base with which to build a portfolio of protection. Defensive Line: Not too far away from being a takeover candidateas in taking over the line of scrimmage. Linebackers: Has met resistance the last few seasons, but looks poised for a breakout move to the upside with more athleticism and aggressiveness to build upon. Defensive Backs: If you want to take a flyer on a speculative stock, this is the one. A few key asset allocations by the Sitake board of directors in moving personnel around from different positions and sides of the line of scrimmage, may actually result in a huge upside move. Dont mortgage the house on an upside move, but would use my lunch money to put something down on this as a nice speculative move. Coaches: As an IPO (initial Public offering), this stock has gone almost parabolic, especially in public relations and public perception. The big numbers of fans who went to the spring game was indicative of this. Now comes the hard part. Can the hype and actual win/loss record meet somewhere in the middle? Charisma and charm is great, but eventually it all comes down to winning games. For me, with the schedule BYU has lined up this fall, I will be satisfied with a 8-5 resultas long as one of those 8 wins is against Utah in Salt Lake City. The other win that would be extremely satisfying is a victory over Michigan State in East Lansing. That happens to be where my wife and I will be living in actual student housing in October. If the Cougars beat the Spartans, I promise to take off my missionary badge and even my white shirt and tie and parade up and down Hagadorn Road and around the LDS Institute building with a big BYU painted on my chest. On second thought promise might be a pledge to which I cant live up. But I would relish the win as a great missionary moment for me and my wife. We leave for Michigan in May 9. BYU and the Alternative Prom In case you missed it, BYU wasnt invited to the Prom (NCAA tournament) this year, but is having a good time at the alternative Prom (NIT). That is where the dresses and teams are more modest and the music is less loud but still has a danceable beat to it. Fun is fun, wherever and in whatever form you find it. Fun is in New York City for the Cougars this week as they are one of four teams to make it to the finals of the NIT held at Madison Square Garden. This is a feel good moment for Dave Rose and his team and their fans. It is not a relevant moment, however. If there was real relevance associated to the NIT, you should be able to tell me instantly, who the NIT champion was last year. Heres a hint. Think arboretum. As in trees. As in Stanford, a team BYU beat in Provo early in the 2014-15 season in Provo. Yes, that Stanford, a team that just fired their coach last week despite being the NIT champions one year ago. Win or lose, Dave Roses job is not in jeopardy. He has a lot of lumber returning to his roster from the mission field, a redshirt roster and recent high school recruiting. He also has a lot of players who logged (a lumber reference) big minutes this season who are expected to do great things next season. That is more relevant than the NIT. But it is the NIT, so lets talk about it. It is relevant enough that ESPN will be broadcasting the games nationally. That includes BYU matchup with Valparaiso on Tuesday. Tip off for that game is set for 5 pm MDT and as mentioned, will be seen live on ESPN. A win over the Crusaders and BYU will head to the Championship game on Thursday. BYU would face the winner of either San Diego State or George Washington in the other semi-final game. Valpo is good enough and has a good enough coach to beat BYU handily. The Cougars will have to do what they do when they win. They need to shoot the ball from outside with consistency. Bryce Drew, the current Valparaiso coach, is good enough to be sought after by other schools, like Pitt, that have openings for a head basketball coach. The Crusaders finished the regular season with a 26-6 record and a 16-2 conference mark in the Horizon league. They are good enough to be listed as a 1 ½ point favorite over the Cougars. BYU is good enough to cover that spread, but I dont expect them to do so. This should be the last hurrah for BYU basketball for this seasonunless they can shoot it from distance at a 40 percent clip or better. Heres hoping for better and one more game on Thursday. If hope doesnt work out, there is always the decade long hope that with all the Lone Peak players finally together again, BYU is on the cusp of their first national title. I would settle for their first WCC title and work up from there.

Cougar Sportsline, Vol. 36, Issue 33

23 Mar '16

801 372 - 0819 <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South - Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 36, Issue 33 - March 23, 2016 Click Here To Order or Renew Your Subscriptions <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> One Sick Puppy Madison Square Garden.Home of the Westminster Dog Show and now BYU Basketball The prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was held February 15-16 at Madison Square garden. I missed it. I also miss Iggy (short for Ignoramus) and Queenie, two family dogs that have gone on to the Big Dog Show in the sky. Toby, however, our current dog, is still here and reminds us of his presence in the back yard on a daily basis. That said, I have no use whatsoever for a ShihtzU or Alaskan MalamUTE. I'm reminded of their presence every time I go to Salt Lake City, watch KUTV or walk on the west concourse of Rice Eccles Stadium. All of which brings me to Kyle Collinsworth. He is BYU's alpha dog, but he was one sick puppy in last night's 88-82 win over Creighton. He was literally sick, as in, ill, feverish and not feeling well. I'm not a doctor, but I can read a stat sheet. Collinsworth played just 20 minutes and didn't start the game. His replacement in the starting lineup, Zac Seljaas, led all BYU scorers with 19 points. If it was a dog show last night, Seljaas would have earned best of breed and best of BYU. All he did was lead the team in scoring with 19 points on 5-6 shooting from the field. Did I mention that all of those attempts were from beyond the arc? Oh yeah, he also was 4-4 from the charity stripe. He saved Dave Rose's bacon and Nick Emery's and Chase Fischer's butts. All they did was go 2-8 and 1-5 from distance. Kyle Davis has spent a lot of time in BYU fan's dog house because of his inconsistent post presence. Nothing inconsistent about Davis' numbers last night. He was 7-9 from the field and 4-6 from the line. He ended with 18 points and was instrumental in notching this needed win. Speaking of points, here is the one I'm trying to make about Collinsworth. It is obvious that BYU is a better overall basketball team when the senior point guard is on the floor than when he is not. It would have been a shame if he had to end his career as a Cougar when he wasn't at his best physically. That won't happen now. BYU and Collinsworth will be at Madison Square Garden this coming Tuesday, March 29 in the NIT semifinals against Valparaiso. The Garden is where the big dogs bark athletically and as best of breed. This year Collinsworth is the best of BYU basketball. He was selected as Player of the Year by league coaches in the WCC. Now he has a chance to show just how he earned that honor in front of a NYC audience and press. The Valparaiso - BYU game is one of the NIT semifinals. The other two teams will be decided tonight when Florida hosts George Washington and San Diego State hosts Georgia Tech. Just because you can't spell V-A-L-P-A-R-A-I-S-O and don't know where they are located, doesn't mean that they are not a very good basketball team. I did look them up. They are located in, you guessed it, Valparaiso, Indiana. They are currently 29-6 on the year and finished 16-2 in the Horizon League. They pushed Oregon, winner of the Pac 12 in a 73-67 loss in Eugene, but beat Oregon State 63-57 in Corvallis. Both of those teams made the NCAA tournament. In common opponents, both BYU and Valpo faced Belmont on their respective home courts. Both teams beat Belmont. BYU 95 Belmont 81 and Valpo 61 Belmont 57. Spring Football Names and Games Let's start with games. There won't be any, as in spring game. This Saturday's annual spring gathering for football fans will be a scrimmage not a game. There just aren't enough healthy offensive lineman to stage a contest. The game/scrimmage is set for Saturday, March 26, at 2 p.m. MDT in LaVell Edwards Stadium. Gates open at 1 p.m. and admission is free. Now to some names. Here are two that should validate the claim that BYU is short on offensive linemen. They are Keyan Norman <http://www.suutbirds.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=95831&SPID=11715&DB_LANG=C& DB_OEM_ID=20100&ATCLID=209603455&Q_SEASON=2016> and Andrew Eide <http://www.suutbirds.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=95831&SPID=11715&DB_LANG=C& DB_OEM_ID=20100&ATCLID=204772345&Q_SEASON=2016> . Both are offensive linemen from Southern Utah University that will be enrolling in school in Provo and can do so because both will have already graduated from SUU. Norman is 6-3, 290 and prepped at Lone Peak HS in Alpine. Eide is 6-5, 285 and prepped at Timpanogas HS in Orem. Both are returned LDS missionaries and both come with Ed Lamb's recommendation. The fact that BYU is taking these two guys is a good indication of what coaches think and what I think about the prospect for BYU's offensive line. It will not be the strength of the team. That's too bad because the strength of team will need some protection this coming season. That would be Taysom Hill and Tanner Mangum. If you want to know who will start at quarterback next season, don't look at Ty Detmer, Hill and Mangum. Find Tejan Koroma and Kyle Johnson. If Koroma doesn't get back in school and if Johnson doesn't return from injury, then it is a no brainer that Hill will be the starting quarterback if healthy. That is because he has the elusiveness and running ability to avoid a pass rush more than Mangum does. The way the offensive line looks now, elusiveness will be an essential part of the quarterback's duty this fall. Another element that coaches are looking for this spring is athleticism. They want to match it up with needs on the team. The perfect example of that would be Akile Davis <http://byucougars.com/athlete/m-football/akile-davis> . He had his freshman season wasted when he was inserted into the Wagner game. Current coaches, in particular Kalani Sitake and Ed Lamb, see Davis as the prototypical lock down corner that BYU hasn't had in ages. He has size, speed, long arms and can tackle. He is also still getting a few reps at wide receiver, a spot he played last season, but you don't have to be smart, just observant to see that he will be a corner for the Cougars next season. He would be the hands down pleasant surprise of the spring. Just a side note here. One of the reasons Kyle Whittingham didn't take the BYU job a11 years ago was because he knew he would have trouble getting corners that could play with the big boys. A decade plus later, maybe it is now possible. Throw in Troy Warner with Davis, and maybe BYU may have actually turned the "corner". The official announcement of the surprise of the spring, however, was more low key when Sitake said this when asked about it. "Biggest surprise so far this spring: The buy-in level from the players this spring has been awesome. They trust what we're trying to accomplish. Academics, things that we're demanding from them on the field, and in the weight room especially reflect that they are all in. That's what is special about BYU. You get guys that are in line with what you ask them to do." Here's my take on biggest surprise of spring: Position Mastery was overrated. Based on what Sitake and his staff has shown this spring, it is about athleticism and ability. If you have those two traits, you are going to play and play often. The new staff's philosophy when it comes to position, is that if you have enough athleticism and ability, the coaches will get you in the right position. >From my observation, defense is where most of those athletes are right now. I like this defense. I think I will love it in the fall, especially if there are corners that can come through. On offense, there are athletes, but not as many. Fortunately, those with ability are at the quarterback spot. That will compensate for a lot. Wide receivers have some experience, but quite frankly when it comes to athleticism and ability, they could use some help. It is obvious with the move from tailback to fullback for Algie Brown and the move from tailback to linebacker for Francis Bernard that this offense is looking for game breakers, not bruisers when it comes to running back. Trey Dye has been moved to rb and he has gained a few raised eyebrows from coaches. He doesn't have the prototypical size, but he has the other two ingredients this staff wants, athleticism and ability. We shall see. Jamaal Williams is back but still being reined in by coaches to make sure he will be healthy in the fall. If you want a glimpse of some differences in programs are, listen to these players. Keep in mind, that political correctness does count when comparing the old and new programs. Mitchell Juergens <http://img.ksl.com/audio/2016_03_22_Mitchell_Juergens.mp3> Trey Dye <http://img.ksl.com/audio/2016_03_22_Trey_Dye.mp3> Sae Tautu <http://img.ksl.com/audio/2016_03_18_Sae_Tautu.mp3> Algie Brown <http://img.ksl.com/audio/2016_03_18_AlgieBrown.mp3> Nick Kurtz <http://img.ksl.com/audio/2016_03_15_WR_Nick_Kurtz.mp3> Other differences It has nothing to do with spring football, but it is glaringly obvious that the new staffs' approach to recruiting is a complete 180 degrees from the previous crew. In the past, it was almost mandatory that a prospect attend a BYU summer football camp to enable the previous staff a chance to see them play up close and personal. Not so with the new staff. Camp is way down the list apparently. Volume in offers and athleticism and ability is way up on the scale. Extending early offers seems to be a priority now.
