Serious question: Who was the last 4 or 5 star QB to become great at BYU?

We've had good to great QB play in every year except one since 2020. That's way better than most schools who sign 4 star QBs up out the door. If Retzlaff stays until next season and continues to improve, then there is a question of who is the heir apparent. A lot of schools covet our QB room this season.

Is Arod bad at recruiting? Serious question. We are byu. Our qb tradition is

He got Slovis to come. Slovis said it was because of A-rod and his system. I

Slovis stock was in decline, tbh. I liked Slovis a lot, but it wasnt a huge land

9:23am

But he did have multiple p4 offers. I know he wasn't the top qb in the portal

Stucoug83

Slovis was also a good player when he wasn't hurt. I'm still glad we had him.

Same. He was running for his life almost every drop back. When he had blocking

Oops! I see now that I wasn’t the first poster in this thread to note this.

Last year BYU brought in the highest rated QB transfer. This year BYU

yes, a QB from Provo that grew up a huge USC fan

Sounds like your TIC- this wasn’t Arods fault right?

Yes, it’s TIC

Have you watched him play? I was pumped about him but after watching play this

Slovis wasn’t the highest rated QB transfer, he was 19th. If you mean

I wish that were true.

A lot of BYU’s legend qbs weren’t members

LSUcougar92

6:51am

We have never signed all the best LDS QB’s

JOPE

6:55am

Sheide, McMahon, Marc Wilson, Bosco, Detmer, Sarkisian, now Jake

LSUcougar92

6:55am

Detmer was non-LDS too. How many of the LDS greats were top level recruits?

JOPE

6:56am

So members were Nielsen, Young, Doman, Beck, Hall (x2), Hill and Wilson.

LSUcougar92

6:59am

even a single 4 star in that list? Don’t think so.

JOPE

7:01am

Jake Heaps was a 5-star, Ben Olson was high too I think

LSUcougar92

7:02am

In hindsight, they were not.

Colorado

7:09am

But he asked about top rated LDS qbs. BYU has pulled some, they didn’t work out

LSUcougar92

And both struggled…

yeah, I was referring to players we consider to be good quarterbacks

JOPE

Lindsey, Jensen & Covey. 86-88 was rough for QB's.

As I recall Matt had injury problems

Marc Wilson

Good catch

John Walsh had the numbers to belong on that list too. Perhaps our biggest cannon ever.

SinkingQuffa

7:31am

Isn’t that the list of all BYU QBs who have a 6-0 season start?

Pretorian

8:02am

Most of these guys made themselves into legends. They were relatively unknowns until they started shining.

ARod almost had Jackson Dart and made the final three of several top recruits.

Wrong.

Objectively, yes. BYU has an issue. Is it ARod IDK.But we need to refine the …

Historically we do well with 3* recruits. He has a way of finding good players and developing them into great ones.

My response will anger virtually everybody on this board:

Are fans bad at evaluating QBs?

Per the discussion last month, he dropped the ball with the T Tech QB Will

I will worry about that when we have bad QB play at BYU.
