And not only is it a crapshoot, many times one service will have a QB as a

4 or 5 star guy and another will have him as a 3-star guy. This was even more common back in the day when high school recruiting wasn't as big of an "industry" as it is now. It's one of the reasons why I have a hard time comparing recruiting of today to how things worked 25+ years ago.

The last time BYU signed a four-star level QB out of HS was 2012- Tanner Mangum

What about Jacob Conover?

247 only gave him an 84 rating

It looks like ESPN had him listed with an 84 rating and a 4-star

He was an 86 with 247. He was listed as an 84 transfer.

You're looking at his xfer rating, not his HS rating

86 was his 247 rating, but his 247 Composite was .9006 which is 4-star.

Not sure I call it "lucky" signing two back to back qbs that vastly

Then whoever the QB whisperer was that found Hall and Wilson is gone

Bronco's staff Hall, Wilson was all Grimes. There is no common denominator

ZW has been mediocre to bad against good competition his entire career.

Wilson and Hall were both better than their ratings. But Baylor Romney is a good

I disagree with your statement that BYU routinely signed high-level QB's out of

Brandon wasn't a 4 star, however Jason Munns was

Brandon Doman was definitely not a 4-star QB. Engemann was class of 96. No clue

You sure about Doman?

He was a heck of a HS QB - in a system that ran the triple option and he wasn't

We have always developed good QBs over time.

Jul 23, 4:41pm

Wilson, Hall and Conover were all top 1000 recruits (by composite)

Top 1000 is a pretty low bar.

The likely hood of a 4-5 star QB staying and not playing within 2 years is

We need a real qb coach

It's about the QBs. Here's a list of seasons (2000 and beyond) where a not top-1000 QB had heavy usage
