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

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

Idacoug

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

Das_Countach

Oct 18, 9:23am

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

Stucoug83

Oct 18, 9:35am

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

TailgateU

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

SBB

Oct 18, 6:50am

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

JOPE

Oct 18, 6:53am

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

SBB

Oct 18, 6:57am

Yes, it’s TIC

JOPE

Oct 18, 7:00am

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

BYU'01

Oct 18, 10:29am

This has been my biggest argument

Lavell4life

Oct 18, 11:05am

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

Oct 18, 6:51am

We have never signed all the best LDS QB’s

JOPE

Oct 18, 6:55am

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

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 6:55am

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

JOPE

Oct 18, 6:56am

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

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 6:59am

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

JOPE

Oct 18, 7:01am

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

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 7:02am

In hindsight, they were not.

Colorado

Oct 18, 7:09am

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

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 7:11am

And both struggled…

Pretorian

Oct 18, 8:04am

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

JOPE

Oct 18, 9:43am

So, I mean I listed all the good QBs including the LDS ones. Then I listed 2 5*s

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 12:32pm

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

gopman

Oct 18, 7:15am

As I recall Matt had injury problems

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 7:23am

Marc Wilson

gopman

Oct 18, 7:12am

Good catch

LSUcougar92

Oct 18, 7:14am

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

SinkingQuffa

Oct 18, 7:31am

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

Pretorian

I imagine Casuga triggered this

Serious question. If the same question gets asked on CB 100 times, does said

UMWolverine

No, but it does make a sound in the woods. 🤷‍♂️

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

donnerstag

Oct 18, 7:31am

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

GMGlenn

Oct 18, 7:47am

"Almost" is now a good thing. Do we give Bronco credit for almost beating Utah

stansburycoug

Oct 18, 1:02pm

You really, really want to believe the coaches are all incompetent so if it

Junior Deputy

Oct 18, 8:03am

Wrong.

Idacoug

Oct 18, 9:11am

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

Lombardi

I've been critical myself, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Oct 18, 9:10am

yeah, we haven't discussed this topic enough...it's been beat like a deadhorse

vabeachcoug

Oct 18, 9:10am

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

AltTabbins

My response will anger virtually everybody on this board:

The Y's Insider

Oct 18, 9:32am

Are fans bad at evaluating QBs?

Abe Froman

Oct 18, 9:36am

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

bad84cougar

Oct 18, 10:08am

Hammond has thrown 7 career passes

donnerstag

Oct 18, 10:55am

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

YOHONOMOTO

Oct 18, 10:15am

He has shown a pattern of poor QB recruiting that is concerning

CaliforniaCougar22

Oct 18, 10:30am

Honestly?

canndyman

Oct 18, 11:05am

I agree that NIL is a big factor. But, we do have Keeney coming (3*) and Enoch

GMGlenn

Oct 18, 11:43am

Our QB recruiting struggles started before NIL so that seems unlikely

CaliforniaCougar22

Oct 18, 6:06pm

We are in the middle of that tradition of great QB play

Weagle Coug

Oct 18, 11:54am

I say we hire Detmer again, he only had two years as OC and one of them was 2017

CougarLucas

Oct 18, 12:44pm

I would say mediocre at best

stansburycoug

Oct 18, 1:19pm

What do you think a great QB is nowadays?
