Havili wasn't better. McMahon was before my time so I can't say there

I was on my mission during Britain Covey’s HS days, but many say he’s the best..

I would buy that if it wasn’t common for us to have tiny white walk-on WR’s.

His family was pretty poor and couldn't afford tuition if he was a walk-on.
StarMan

IIRC his family no likey Anae and his coach was a Whittingham

Same reason we lost Su'a-Filo, who was a much bigger loss than Covey.

He's tiny and by the time we realized maybe he could be just big enough to play

He was entertaining and elusive but I don't know anyone that thinks he was the best.

He was the best I've seen in Utah. He dominated everybody, virtually untouchable

Your last statement isn't very accurate...he had one good year...lots of guys

His Junior and senior seasons were incredible although he didn't start at QB

I'm not saying he wasn't good, but statistically there's better Kafentzis

Nope, better college and pro prospects but Covey was better in hs.

He is extremely fast, and has excellent hands.

He will never play in the NFL.

Well, now that you've declared it the NFL scouts don't need to bother watching.

He's extremely quick and elusive. Not real fast. Size and speed limit his NFL

Without a doubt, he was the best player i've seen in Utah

speak for yourself, hands down best HS football player I’ve seen come
ColumbusCoug

Agreed. Stanley Havili was a much better HS player. So was McMahon.
AZ Coug
7/19/18 8:48pm
Havili wasn't better. McMahon was before my time so I can't say there

I agree. Watched Havili a few times. Great player but not as impressive at Covey

BYU coaches took a long time to get interested in him as a potential D1 player

His HS film is unbelieveable
Regal Ute

Wow, very impressive. The kid is shifty w/a 2nd gear. had no idea he was a QB.
wiscougarfan
7/19/18 1:49pm
His one pass in college would certainly make one wonder what he was doing in HS
StarMan
7/19/18 3:00pm
It does guarantee that he touches it every play
Dr T-bone
7/19/18 6:24pm
He literally didn't get tacked until 8 minutes into that film. Like a solid stream of Taysom v Texas highlights.

For what it's worth, Chase Hansen was the best HS player I've ever watched. But

Chase was up there in my top 5, but Covey was #1. Mahe #2.

Best Hs player I have ever seen was Luke Staley

His family didn't (doesn't) like Anae. His HS HC was a Whittingham.

They must have been one of a few that liked Carey. Most that I know don't.

Other than all the kids from UtahCo he did recruit and sign that is correct.

7/19/18 4:15pm
That kind of alleged slap in the face to UC kids has thing to do with why Porter Gustin was not offered a scholarship.
kccougar
7/19/18 4:23pm
Except that there were kids in Utah Co that he recruited and gave scholarships to. What makes sense is that a kid who

Aight that's fair. I wouldn't say uninformed as much as misinformed.
WeekendWarrior

I didn’t mean that you were the one feeling snubbed. I meant that you probably heard this from a lot of kids who did.

Ah. I did hear from a lot of kids. You're probably right. This was my bad.

FWIW Ute coaches are thrilled with his offseason progress. Covey is poised

Anae didn’t think he was worth a scholly. That’s the honest answer.
SlantRoute
7/19/18 5:23pm
Is anae really that dumb?
idacoug
7/19/18 5:35pm
They recruited him later on. The kid was super short. People had their doubts.

You must not know any former players to know how Anae speaks to them.

Covey is a good player. But, no need to keep whining about him going to UU.
