Newell is KU beat writer. Doubt highly that he returns.

riboflavin

4/18/14 8:53am

I don't think he'd have any eligibility left. Maybe he's quitting football and

KingDave

4/18/14 8:55am

maybe he has aspirations of being a CPA for a big firm

JackStack

4/18/14 8:56am

He's apparently graduated/graduating. He could go somewhere.

riboflavin

4/18/14 8:56am

Won't be BYU but I'm guessing he transfers somewhere. He wants to play.

The Dude Abides

4/18/14 8:57am

Maybe Weber St. would work to get him closer to his wife's family

JackStack

Isn't UVU starting a football program?

hashtag NFL aspirations.

Mayor of Cougartown

If he wants to go NFL and only has 1 year, better go to SUU.

Bert609

4/18/14 10:32am

Is he graduating early? Not sure we have schollies available though

Dr T-bone

Too late, she thought she was marrying a future millionaire--now she's PO'd

Count Cougar

4/18/14 2:34pm

If he returns to Utah to play, it'll be at Weber State

lawboy

4/18/14 8:59am

Does Weber really have a Master's program that KU doesn't?

TXSmith

4/18/14 9:02am

I think so. They have some very industry-specific ones.

QuinneyCoug

4/18/14 9:05am

i would bet it does. its probably something obscure/worthless tho.

riboflavin

4/18/14 9:06am

Criminal Justice, Athletic Training, a couple others

Illegal Jimmergrant

4/18/14 9:15am

I thought that rule only applies if you're transferring within FBS

hansel

4/18/14 9:10am

you are correct...but Weber only offers like 10 Masters Degrees

TXSmith

4/18/14 9:14am

His mistake was transferring to Kansas, there were way better fits

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 9:00am

not sure about ' thrive'

Cougarealist

4/18/14 9:04am

He did well at BYU as a freshman

canadiancougar624

4/18/14 9:14am

He lost his confidence after his freshman year

After his utah game performance majority checked out with him

His first Utah game was pretty good effort

yeah, BYU.

ag4cougs

4/18/14 9:06am

I always thought he should have stayed.

BarraCouga

4/18/14 9:17am

If Anae hadn't left...

ag4cougs

4/18/14 9:18am

He could transfer to Dixie State, Div II, play immediately and be closer to her

deek1906

4/18/14 9:32am

He's already graduated. He can go anywhere (that offers a grad program that KU

MantiCoug

4/18/14 9:47am

Actually he should transfer to UW..Keith Price is gone and they don't have a

TXSmith

Dixie is DivII, so he'd be eligible immediately without having to be in a

deek1906

True.

MantiCoug

Southern Utah....placed more QB's in the NFL than BYU lately...TIC

Bonoman

I thought his wife was from the Seattle area?

lawboy

4/18/14 9:39am

Yep. South of Seattle near Tacoma.

BYUHawk

4/18/14 9:42am

Yes, his wife's dad did play for BYU back in the day. Gary Shaw

BYUHawk

4/18/14 9:41am

Wow, five daughters. Don't let TNT find out about that...

So it goes...

4/18/14 8:19pm

Sad situation...

Smoke Monster

4/18/14 9:43am

Jake was coached by professional QB coaches since the 5th grade

deek1906

4/18/14 9:51am

That's a good point...

Smoke Monster

4/18/14 10:00am

Ole Miss was a pivotal game, in my mind, for a different reason.

CoogsWin

4/18/14 10:44am

Totally agree. That is why I think he was a great "practice" QB

BYU-Ite

4/18/14 10:50am

this exactly what I have thought.

cedar cougar

4/18/14 11:51am

interesting insight... thanks

sundance

4/21/14 8:07am

You can't site evidence from one game though, or even a whole season

mr_thekid

4/18/14 2:06pm

He looked like a future star the latter half of the 2010 season.

ag4cougs

4/19/14 1:06am

Fools gold. With the exception of Utah, those were some of the worst defenses

cougarick

4/21/14 8:01am

Doman was terrible. Was Heaps going to be the star fans hoped he'd be? Prob not.

ag4cougs

4/21/14 11:36pm

I'm just theorizing here but I think the reason he left...

BluePuppy

4/18/14 12:36pm

Don't feel bad. He's too soft to play football

Y4LYFE

4/21/14 7:12am

I'd welcome him back with open arms, whether walk-on or schollie. Depth at QB

CalGTR

4/18/14 9:45am

I totally agree. He'd do fine against most of our opponents this year, plus

As long as he is 4th string

It seems like Utahns get homesick more than other people.

SD-Y-FAN

uh, he isn't from Utah. And thanks for continuing the

cougarmanguy

4/18/14 11:25am

Did you read the OP? His wife (from Utah) is homesick. Try to keep up.

SD-Y-FAN

4/18/14 11:54am

nice. Your homesick point is still silly

cougarmanguy

4/18/14 11:58am

Nonsense. Valid points are never silly.

SD-Y-FAN

His wife isn't from Utah! I posted it elsewhere on this post, but I guess I'll

I followed you, and you are correct. Utah isn't like the rest of the US, if you

sad but I agree. state is full of home bodies

Shore10

That's because Utah Mormons actually have social lives in utah

Where does Jesse Newell say that in his twitter feed?

He might as well ride the pine at KU

Even more ironic:

Good. We will need him when Hill opts for the NFL after a great season this year

SAILOR COUGAR

He only has one year left.
