BYU football’s roster ahead of National Signing Day: Who’s coming back, who’s leaving and the team’s biggest needs

BYU will return 18 starters, but the focus will be on adding depth in the last offseason before the Big 12.

That being said, continuity doesn’t necessarily translate to a lack of questions about the roster. BYU has to add depth at several positions. If last year exposed anything, it showed BYU’s back-end talent is not good enough to compete consistently at the Power Five level. So this offseason — the last before the program joins the Big 12 — a spotlight will be on head coach Kalani Sitake as he acquires and develops talent beyond the starting 11.

His return is a big deal for the wide receiver group. If Romney had decided to leave, BYU would have returned only one starter. Now, the program has more of a cushion to bring along first-time starters like Keanu Hill and Chase Roberts.

Maybe headline was intended to be that 'Depth needs to improve to go undefeated' or 'Depth needs to improve to become a national playoff contender'

That statement is completely incorrect. BYU had an unbelievable amount of injuries in 2021 and still went 5-1 against P5 teams. If anything they showed that their depth is P5 caliber and better than ever before. Look what happened to LSU when they lost most of their starters.

Go home, SLT. You’re drunk.

Kevinreynolds30 hey, a lot of us are being hard on you but good article overall man! Keep up the good work! 👊

Only 6-1 against P5’s and 5-0 against Pac12.

What does that say about Utah’s talent? 😬

When was Utah's last P4 win? (Hard to call the Pac 12 a power conference after back to back winless bowl seasons)

Who reads anything from SL trib?

norma woulda never published this dog shit

Really? 6-1 against P5 opponents

*Norma Gonzalez leaves* SLTrib:

Man, the jokes really do just write themselves. If CougarStats weren't a thing, I'd say the Trib's sports section has no meaningful purpose for existing. The Onion Sports has more credibility.

Agreed.

6-1 is really bad. I am ashamed of my cougs. Just not enough talent to compete.

I mean, yeah, they had some depth issues. But ...

This ain't it Kevin

And Utah fans last week mocked a KSL headline. Lol

'compete consistently' doesn't mean 'win every game'. byu beat usc in november and competed just fine against every p5 team on their schedule

Yeah you're right. BYU only went 1-1 vs quality Power 5 conferences. Tough.

BYU 6-1 vs P5 in 2021

Is PAC 12 not Power 5 anymore?

CLICKS HEEERE! GET YOUR CLICKS, FOLKS! COME ON DOWN AND GET YOUR CLICKS!!

Hahaha. I love parody accounts.

I think the writer of this article just came out of a coma from 2018 and then hit “publish” with this article they wrote 4 years ago.

lmao the trib headlines are just too good. I couldn't come up with better satire if I tried

6-1 against P5 teams... sooooooo

If the last few years have taught us anything, it is that the Salt Lake Tribune is no longer capable of operating in the black.

I guess the Pac12 is no longer a P5 level conf in the Trib's eyes.

What If the Big Bang Was Actually a Big Bounce?Our basic understanding of the universe is that it began with a bang approximately 14 billion years ago. But what if the universe has no beginning — and no end? (From 2020) It's an interesting idea - but, insofar as I read the article, it doesn't even begin to breach the question of why anything exists at all. How can one argue for a universe with no beginning without answering how existence came to be? To simply infer that it does is like magic. The crazy thing about this is that it feels like either way is equally crazy. It’s insane that there may have not been a beginning, like what does even mean? It’s maybe equally insane that there may have at one point been nothing. This is why I love physics.

Despite big raises, typical US worker lost money last year due to soaring inflationAmericans got hefty raises last year, but those fatter paychecks failed to keep the typical worker afloat as consumer prices soared.

Newsweak bullshit every week. The only people who got hefty raises was CEOs and investors - the rest got tiny raises that didn’t even match inflation . The 1% owns 80% of the stock market .
