Scout$--Longson Expands to Top Four

Kieffer has added UCLA to his finalists. He has been coveting that offer and still plans to visit tOSU.

No, believe they're done at OL.

No, believe they're done at OL.

Also, one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...

Rivals$--Longson ready to announce

Kieffer says he will announce Monday between Ohio State, BYU, Utah, and UCLA. He loves what tOSU offers and admits that being a 2017 recruit leaves plenty of time to reconsider.

When these Mormon kids are on mission, how do they train, eat, and workout? Is this kid still gonna be a big time prospect. Has any other big time college player ever gone this route?

Curious what the mission allows in regards to a fitness or training regimen?

Here are the rules in regards to the LDS mission.

There are no allowances for working out. However, sports are prohibited. It doesn't look like there is much personal time allowed.

That is likely a large reason why these athletes do not generally pan out once they get back (of course there are exceptions, see above). My friend just got through with his mission and was a top wrestler in the country but the transition back into the sport is going to be a long one. Not impossible but it makes it tough for sure.
