was that coaches were honest with him about their plans for him. If I'm right then I think he had no choice but to leave. Because the alternative was to sit on the bench. I think Doman wanted QBs who could run, and who had grit(all joking aside).

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?

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

Count Cougar

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

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

He did well at BYU as a freshman

He lost his confidence after his freshman year

I always thought he should have stayed.

If Anae hadn't left...

ag4cougs

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

True.

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

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

So it goes...

Sad situation...

Smoke Monster

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.

interesting insight... thanks

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.

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

It seems like Utahns get homesick more than other people.

cougarmanguy

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.

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

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