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

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

Oct 18, 8:02am

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

I imagine Casuga triggered this

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

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.

runningfoo

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?
