Whether they like you or not you have to go after this kind of kid

Sometimes attitudes change during recruitment. We can't just let one of these get away without making an effort.

Is Cam Cooper the biggest recruiting headscratcher in the last decade?

I understand that the coaches were/are going after McKee

We are after Jacob Conover from Chandler AZ. (Backup plan to McKee)

My guess is that they might have learned early he didn't want to go to BYU

What about Utah?

What about them? They have their own 4* QB seemingly locked down, which explains why they passed on him too.

Kellen Moore was the past decade, so i'll take that one.

Was Kellen Moore ever a possibility?

BlueVU

11/22/17 9:30am

yes. his GF was going to BYU and by all accounts he would have followed her.

smokymountainrain

11/22/17 9:31am

I don't think our coaches could have gottten much out of Moore. I feel like they would have messed him up.

fine. can't argue with that.

I have thought this, as well. I’m sure a lot of who we have gotten would have

He was a 2* non-LDS from a small school in Washington. Cooper is a 4* LDS kid. Not even a close comparison.

Moore is the best HS QB I've seen still to this day. He was the best QB in

smokymountainrain

11/22/17 9:42am

UW, Wazzou and many others didn't see it either. And again, not LDS. BYU rarely goes after non-LDS QBs.

Turnpike Lane

fair enough.

Someone posted last year the Cooper was very anti BYU

1-Wing RCAF

Haven't some on here said Cooper isn't very BYU friendly?

His highly-recruited uncle didn't have a great experience at BYU.

Story on Cade Cooper transferring. He was neck-and-neck with Hall for a while.

dYrtbYkerYder

11/22/17 9:58am

From everything I've heard, the kid didn't want BYU or its culture.

We got Detmer's nephew though, so we're good!

Zadock Dinkelman will be a walk-on?

The other nephew. Who's not nearly as good as Cooper.

11/22/17 9:59am

Cam Cooper had no desire to go to BYU. Should BYU still pursue QBs who have no

Yes you still go after him. Would it that tough for Empey or Mahe to stop by LHS

They could stop by, and offer him I guess, but if they don't want you, I'm not

Sounds like a smear campaign to kick the coaches while they are down.
