Just got off the BYU website, trying to calculate the ages of just their seniors....Interesting, they rarely provide DOB information but with some you can calclulate age based on the last year they participated on their HS team. Based on this information, Hillman is either 27 or 28, Alleman and Hyte and Pessoa are all around 24 to 25........Hmmmmm

Most men's teams don't provide DOB's do they? And if they do it does provide a risk to the individual....let's see i have Carlos' name, his DOB and .... Anyway if I was an athlete, I would not want personal info like my DOB on my bio. Why does anybody need it? And, sure the players are older on BYU, that is no secret as we have all discussed to oblivion on here. Obviously there are positives and negatives. BYU has always played by the rules, though, and some are sour that the Cougars win.

Hillman is around 27. He played club ball at UVSC for a few years after serving a mission. Club ball does not use up D1 eligibility. Because of his years into school when he transferred to BYU he had 2 years left to play. He was the NIRSA Ntl. tournament MVP a couple of years ago. He walked on at BYU after the tryout in fall of 2002 I believe. He played no pro ball though, just served a 2 year mission and played club ball.
Alleman was born in late '78 or '79 I believe. He graduated high school in '97. BYU did an article on him a couple of months ago. Hyte is about the same. Fernando I think, is younger. He did not serve a mission. I don't even know if he is LDS, though he did marry a girl who is. His age is uncertain but I don't think he is as old as the other seniors.

I can do the math, so I stand by my calculations! And yes, I also know all about the Mission, I happen to be LDS......still doesn't make the playing field even!

Rules are in place to make it as "even" as possible. They play by the rules. If someone wants to have this "advantage," they are within the rules to go serve a mission for 2 years. If you know about the mission you will know how much your body loses in two years (if you served one). I've already been on my soapbox on that topic. What exactly are you referring to that isn't even in the playing field? Only age? Maturity?
Funny how no one brings it up when BYU loses, only when they are winning. I would have not known how old JR Martins was if they hadn't had last year's success.

Lets don't do the whole "missionary advantage." Please no more.
