Lark was close. The problem with QBs and stars is it's the hardest position to forecast success out of HS. The recruiting services don't miss a ton with highly rated RB's, WR's, LB's but QB's it's such a crapshoot.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Top 1000 is a pretty low bar.
