"2008 Recruit"

BYU has added another player to their 2008 roster, but not by traditional means. Steve Fendry, 6'5 255, is transferring to BYU from Colorado University. From Ralphie the Buffalo to Cosmo the Cougar.



Why? From BCS to MWC?

I think it is a combination of factors. First, as he states in an article, he was looking for a change in atmosphere. He was recently baptized and the party school environment just wasn't his thing. Fendry was a SuperPrep All-American and will probably be switched to DE (great speed and work ethic.)

The other factor, as you states towards the bottom of the article, is Coach Mendenhall. I have noticed a pattern recently in recruit interviews: They all point out how straightforward and honest Bronco is with them. Mendenhall is not making these players unrealistic promises, which makes me all the more excited about his National Championship talk.

Fendry will lose a year of eligibility for transferring (he red shirted last year) so he will be a RS sophomore when he is eligible in 2008, but will have a full year with the program and should be ready to contribute when the time comes.

My 3 Cents: I should probably explain the picture... My brother-in-law played at CU and we were exchanging banter over email and I made this picture for him. Who knew Id ever get to include it in a post?

Because Fendry is not technically a recruit, I have not added him to the recruit list on the bottom right hand side of the page. There are links to videos that are available to everyone (youtube, googlevideo, etc.), if you know of any more let me know.

Completely unrelated, just wanted to thank the readers of this page. Yesterday My 3 Cents eclipsed 10,000 hits since it was begun back in early April. Sign up on the right hand side of the page to get your updates automatically!
