I'm not knocking Tanner, but being named MVP at a camp is not a good indicator

of how elite a kid is. Offers are what matters and Tanner didn't have them. He is and will be an awesome QB and we are lucky to have him, but McKee is an entirely different level of recruit. Ben Olson may have been comparable.

Dinkelmann is visiting Provo this week. Recruiting has cooled but still looks

I bet he really regrets leaving American Idol after the first season because he thought they were exploiting kids.

How did he do last year?

Pretty good. I doubt he'll get many P5 offers though

Let's focus on Tanner McKee

I dont know much about recruits but ZD is close to home for me. TM seems legit

Centennial HS is less than a mile from my office. I can keep an eye on him if

Please keep an eye on him. BTW, what is he having for lunch today?

Pizza

he's a high school boy. Pizza is always the correct answer

They are. But they shouldn't focus on one QB this class, when

This^^^ Especially on the same day a post was bagging on Rose for committing Jackson and missing on Wade.

No, right thread. Different sport but same principle. Definitely not connecting the dots.

Sorry... I was referring to my post.

Millhouse

3/20/17 4:05pm

I agree. Priority should be McKee over Dinkelmann, but ideally they'd get both

jreid191

Kids like McKee don't chose BYU. It's good to chase multiple kids.

Backcountry

3/20/17 2:32am

I think Will Dana and Cade Fennegan are #2 and #3

friscokid

3/20/17 4:55am

Is Will Dana a mission kid?

Coop

3/20/17 7:54am

Sure they do. Heaps did, though he was a bust. Taysom did. Mangum did.

dchandle15

3/20/17 5:50am

Putting taysom in the same category as McKee is ridiculous.

Tanner was Elite 11 MVP, no Bama offers, but about same level IMO

I'm not knocking Tanner, but being named MVP at a camp is not a good indicator

Backcountry

Also, Mangum was the #3 rated Pro-style QB compared to McKee who is #7.

jreid191

3/20/17 9:38am

This is the biggest myth in BYU recruiting. Early commitment does not mean

Backcountry

3/20/17 9:44am

Except that neither of them are still committed...

Millhouse

3/20/17 9:48am

Because other schools wanted them and pursued them

Backcountry

3/20/17 11:24am

Exactly my point. Had they stayed committed instead of publicizing that they

Millhouse

3/20/17 11:35am

Sure, but only if the recruit is showing some reciprocal interest.

Are you a ute? You're really acting like a ute right now

Pretorian

3/20/17 12:05pm

The only correlation for a BYU offer is a Ute offer immediately afterwards

OGSuperfan

3/20/17 1:01pm

We all know how Heaps turned out. However coming out of high

Millhouse

3/20/17 9:47am

I'd say Heaps and Mangum are in the same recruiting tier as McKee... No?

Pretorian

3/20/17 7:08am

Heaps may have been close. Mangum was not in the same catefory.

Backcountry

3/20/17 8:27am

Right, elite 11 co MVP with current NFL QB doesn't measure up...

Pretorian

3/20/17 11:54am

There are 5 QB's that were consensus 4-star players BYU has offered in the last

jreid191

3/20/17 7:35am

THIS ^^^^^McKee is the perfect QB for our system. We NEED McKee badly.

Coop

We need Tanner #1 to have a great year.

3/20/17 7:33am

If McKee is a mission kid, you can go hard after both.

He is.

FWIW A family member of mine who doesn't care about sports told McKee

Highly doubt, like 99.999999% guarantee he didn't say he was leaning there.

According to my family member
