A year as a backup and then a chance to start in '26 seems reasonable

He has the talent for sure. But he will have to beat out others and won't just be handed a spot. Hillstead has a year on him in the system, so he is already a bit behind. Might be good for him to have to fight for it.

Issac at BYU is a positive

TJD

Dec 10, 1:19pm

Plus he had the stifling KWhitt vicegrips on play calling.

mulletino

Dec 10, 1:20pm

Good point. And a OC that was fired (again).

Atmospheric_Cougar

Redshirt him a year and still hope to get Ryder Lyons.

docrick

Dec 10, 1:21pm

Lyons is mission bound, so not likely to have much impact on each other

I'm curious about his mindset though. He needs to not feel entitled to be heir

runnincoug

Hopefully he doesn't come in and ruin our locker room like he did the Utes.

kimdaddy35

Dec 10, 1:22pm

and this should be a huge red flag.

I'm not an Isaac fan, but the Utes' locker room was already a house of cards.

slatecoug

Dec 10, 4:33pm

I can see that. Why do you think it was a house of cards before?

kimdaddy35

Dec 10, 4:33pm

Utah has no team identity, their program has no culture at all

slatecoug

Dec 10, 5:07pm

What did he do to their locker room?

SoValleyCOUG

Dec 10, 4:33pm

One of our Utah posters said he partied a lot, even on game eves.

rockhound

Dec 10, 7:44pm

There's a rumor that he threw a punch at one point.

If a true Freshman can ruin your locker room; then it’s already a dumpster

SwanSong

Jake Heaps didn't help us much as a sophomore

kimdaddy35

Dec 10, 4:39pm

You aren't referring to the satire twerk about Isaac punching someone are you?

MaximusMeridius

Dec 10, 5:22pm

I didn't see that tweet, but I have heard from about 7 different sources that he caused some issues

kimdaddy35

Dec 10, 6:57pm

Meaning he sucked and the defense was mad that the offense sucked

MaximusMeridius

Dec 10, 10:50pm

I prefer to think the Utah locker room ruined him

Great38

Dec 10, 5:52pm

Sounds like we need to hear the rest of the story

He'll be grateful for a good coach and any opportunity

Mike Bolton

Dec 10, 1:23pm

I know there are rumors, but an reputable sources say it's BYU where he lands?

macdizzle

Dec 10, 1:24pm

Yes I think it’s on the Rancheritos sign on State St.

Ron Mexico

Dec 10, 1:29pm

I'm not that interested, TBH. He is undersized, and too much drama there

Iman23

Dec 10, 1:31pm

The drama at Utah seems manufactured to me

arcawley

Dec 10, 1:42pm

The drama already existed. Did we forget the OC was fired halfway through?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Dec 10, 5:01pm

I'd have to think his stock and market NIL price are down right now.

Cougarclaw

Dec 10, 1:32pm

Buy low!

byuinva

Dec 10, 5:25pm

I’m fine with bringing him in to compete with Hillstead and others but I doubt

WillsPitStop

Dec 10, 1:34pm

He hasn't done enough to be guaranteed at a P4 school.

mudpupper

Dec 10, 1:36pm

I agree but I doubt that he and his family sees it that way.

WillsPitStop

Dec 10, 1:38pm

No legit coach is going to let him have the job without competition

donnerstag

Dec 10, 1:44pm

He is short. look how often our passes are being bated down

bald man

Dec 10, 1:42pm

To be fair he also battled injuries and an incompetent offense

arcawley

Dec 10, 1:43pm

Our current QB has passes being batted down, so what’s the difference

arizonacougarfan

Dec 10, 2:49pm

Release point is much higher than Retzlaff’s, which makes up for multiple inches

byuinva

Dec 10, 5:27pm

But Retzlaff's teammates actually like him which makes up for multiple yards.

byuinva

Dec 11, 10:23am

I think he's good enough to bring into the program, but I wouldn't spend any

Mister P

Dec 10, 1:46pm

He kinda sucks.

DudeBro

Dec 10, 1:47pm

As long as he's a gym rat like his brother, he's a value add to the room

donnerstag

Dec 10, 1:48pm

Did BYU sign I Wilson, or is this just a hypothetical set of comments?

Forzaitalia

Dec 10, 2:23pm

The latter. Welcome to CB.

Cougar Junkie

Dec 10, 3:15pm

He struggled but he threw some dimes too. He eventually got overwhelmed and hurt

pinolero

Dec 10, 2:26pm

I don't care about his size, I care about his processing speed

deliciousmocha

Dec 10, 2:30pm

He played for an offense so bad the coordinator quit during the season. Two star

SwampyCoug

Dec 10, 2:36pm

This might be counting chickens before they hatch

Brandoblueblood

Dec 10, 2:37pm

Other than Locked on Big 12, who else is saying Isaac to BYU?

CougMAGA

Dec 10, 2:49pm

He won't have first string reps this upcoming year either. Low risk, high reward depending on what kind of NIL $ he got

Rose and Bottari also didn't get any first team reps, and they were improvements

The Toolman

Dec 10, 4:03pm

Pass, would like someone else!!

Blue for Life

Dec 10, 4:08pm

IMO if he was 6’2” like his bro you couldn’t tell them apart on the field. The

Zach's arm is much, much stronger than Isaac's. Even as a Freshman.

dYrtbYkerYder

Where’s the announcement?

kapcreations

Dec 10, 6:01pm

I say let him go…Freshman or not, kid looked out of sorts

Give the kid a chance

How soon can these kids sign with a new team?
