A break down of what a roll of the dice it is with high school qb recruits

May 11, 1:38pm

There is a decent amount of 4 star lds qbs and TE. Those positions need to be

But expecting a 4 star QB to sign with BYU every year is unrealistic

Belboz

Exactly. When 4-star QBs are scarce - let's be honest - they're more likely to choose a big time program.

Every year sure but we should get more than 3 in 24 years

Now that we’re a power school maybe. But not in the MWC or Indy

No one expects to land one every year.

One 4 star every three years? Utah doesn't produce them at that rate, nor LDS talented QBs at that rate.

May 11, 4:56pm

There’s about 25 4/5 every year. The blue bloods will take 1 or 2

Utah is not a blue blood and they run circles around us in recruiting QBs

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 2:09am

And how many of them have turned out? The knock on Utah is they are always a decently average QB away from being a

Cam Rising is better than any of our QBs

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 12:18pm

And before Cam, we had two 3 star qbs get drafted while their 4 star guys

May 12, 12:38pm

Yea but our QB recruiting was decent back then and now it’s atrocious.

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 12:50pm

That's not true at all. Jaren Hall had 2 offers- from Utah and BYU.

May 12, 1:42pm

That’s only because of rating inflation

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 2:00pm

There were 3 high rated LDS or Utah QBs in the 2024 class alone

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 1:57am

Technically only 2 according to 247, which is the preferred site (Hammond & Wilson).

May 12, 8:46am

Unfortunately we did ourselves no favors in Hammond’s recruitment

CaliforniaCougar22

May 12, 12:24pm

I'll again say that talking about 3 stars is meaningless

krindorr

May 12, 12:35pm

Yes, that is a big distinction to make and a very fair point in 247s ranting scheme

It is easy to point fingers, the truth of it is I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes nor the limitations

Football has shown they are serious. They just paid Jay Hill a boat load of

Nobody got on a plane to go develop the Hammond relationship in Texas.

Losing Dart sucks. We wanted him bad and he was a Utah QB. TE we’ve been doing great the last three classes if we hold

I’d like that too but the big recruits haven’t come in and developed yet

May 11, 2:45pm

Dart, Hammond, and McKee seemed like reasonable gets at one point. Fortunately

We were on Dart when he was a nobody and barely a 3*. The televised ESPN game

Just being LDS no longer means automatic BYU fan. Just because a family member

Haven’t seen the 2024 numbers yet - but last year half of draft picks

Like the NFL high rating quarterbacks in college get more invested in them to

Such a great post. I wish I wasn’t already firm on my POTD or this would get it. Thanks Rise Against!!!!

Do you think our staff doesn’t fly or stay in hotels to recruit?

molodyets

May 11, 10:35pm

Not for 4 star QBs. Maybe for other positions. Maybe the Defense has budget.

TexDaddy

May 13, 4:17pm

"3 star recruit" has become a meaningless designator

It's too bad they stopped using 2*.
