BYU I Bleed Blue Walk-on

I'm not saying he doesn't want to live the honor code, I was using that as an

example. I have no idea of Cam Cooper's faith or even if he is LDS. I'm just saying if a student has no desire to come to BYU, for whatever reason (Honor Code being just one), then taking time to offer and follow up with them doesn't really make sense to me. I apologize if it seemed I was insinuating that Cooper wasn't offered or wasn't going to come because of the Honor Code.

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)

It'll all be worth it when Tanner McKee goes to Stanford....

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

11/22/17 9:25am

What about Utah?

11/22/17 9:29am

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

11/22/17 9:38am

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

smokymountainrain

11/22/17 9:29am

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.

11/22/17 9:36am

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.

11/22/17 9:46am

fair enough.

BYU rarely goes after non-LDS QBs?

1-Wing RCAF

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

11/22/17 9:42am

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

11/22/17 9:55am

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

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?

1-Wing RCAF

11/22/17 9:58am

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

BYU I Bleed Blue

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

What makes you say he doesn't want to live the honor code? He is LDS. Sheesh...

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

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

So, based on multiple responses, this was NOT a big headscratcher. Next?
