When Will Hammond committed to Texas Tech he was rated an 87 with mostly FCS

This is the perfect no win guy for BYU

Arod should just be better at evaluating QB talent

I consider myself a semi-intelligent football fan and I mostly ignore recruiting because I assume the skill set

I mean the QB we got, Lugo, was originally committed to UTSA

...or offer him when the big schools do and be THE ONE. He would be in Provo.

Hammond was big time recruit. BYU chose Wilson over Hammond. Whiff

He was good enough for Oregon, Texas A&M, Penn State, Texas Tech, Tennessee,

He became a big time recruit. He was not a big time recruit when he chose Tech

ARods contact came a year after everyone else....

Did they just not offer, or did they not really talk to him. Recruit guys, be

They didn’t even recruit him. They had their reasons don’t know if they were

May 1, 7:06pm

If only we all had people defending us like those with Hammond and Holker.

Soupie

Ok but the standard excuse for Arod defenders here is that Will Hammond

CaliforniaCougar22

May 1, 1:46pm

No. The excuse is there were higher rated QBs on the big board and didn’t chase

That’s not the excuse people have been giving me.

Yep story keeps changing - reality seems BYU picked Wilson over Hammond which I

johnnybyu

May 1, 3:09pm

It’s possible that he was never that interested in BYU

donnerstag

May 1, 3:32pm

Its more likely Wilson's were promised only one QB would be offered and BYU

johnnybyu

May 1, 4:31pm

Probably true, but it’s unclear how receptive Hammond would have been anyway

donnerstag

May 1, 4:34pm

What was clear is Isaac wasn't going to be Zach and would favor Utah if he was

johnnybyu

May 1, 4:35pm

ARod took his shot and whiffed

donnerstag

May 1, 4:37pm

Exactly which is why the revisionist story of Hammond not wanting BYU or not

johnnybyu

May 1, 4:47pm

Bro why keep saying that? He camped there EVERY YEAR of his young life.

TexDaddy

May 1, 4:36pm

Does everyone who camps at BYU have BYU as their #1 choice?

donnerstag

May 1, 4:40pm

BYU absolutely was his dream school. BYU showed no interest, his dream changed

yet...going forward that will be the frequent narrative on CB. "Arod whiffed"

icecougar

We knew Hammond was a stud QB before the TT commit. Reality is BYU chose Wilson

johnnybyu

May 1, 3:13pm

The real tragedy is Hammond camped at BYU multiple times, and BYU still missed..

slatecoug

May 1, 3:17pm

Or BYU assumed they could offer him at any time, even late, and he'd take it

CameronG

May 1, 3:22pm

No as have posted 4* QB don't want to commit with other 4* QBs the same class.

johnnybyu

May 1, 4:34pm

...this.

TexDaddy

May 1, 8:22pm

Yeah... no. Hammonds first 2 offers, sure were Incarnate Word and UTSA, he was offered by Texas Tech like 2 days later

Coug

May 1, 3:29pm

Correct

johnnybyu

Correct, except the recruiting and the miss was all on ARod

My only argument is we need to be offering LDS guys if possible.

ordinary tri guy

May 1, 4:18pm

I don't think TT saw something BYU didn't, BYU just hitched its ride to the

johnnybyu

May 1, 4:32pm

Well said. His roommate at TTU is LDS long snapper Rylan Vagana from Mater Dei.

TexDaddy

I'll say it again... This season will only be worth it if changes are made at seasons end...

Except he camped at BYU won Camp MVP and called them before he committed to tech
