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

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

He tiny

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

LifelongAP

7/19/18 1:03pm

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

StarMan

7/19/18 1:24pm

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

Nat Gas Man

7/19/18 1:00pm

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

dYrtbYkerYder

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

Aw, rich brat with a chip on his shoulder

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

7/19/18 1:01pm

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

No they weren’t. Not statistically.

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

palangi

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

conrad44

7/22/18 11:59am

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

palangi

He is extremely fast, and has excellent hands.

BlueBeliever

7/19/18 1:39pm

He will never play in the NFL.

Signed: Steve Smith

Muted

Yes, I am confident that Steve Smith agrees with me.

kccougar

7/20/18 8:06am

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

BlueBeliever

7/20/18 9:31am

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

Lance71

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

jkarren777

7/19/18 4:30pm

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

ColumbusCoug

7/19/18 6:47pm

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

palangi

7/20/18 1:32pm

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

jkarren777

7/20/18 4:28pm

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

Martin Van Nostrand

7/19/18 1:02pm

His HS film is unbelieveable

Regal Ute

7/19/18 1:07pm

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.

I've actually talked to Britain a little bit about this.

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

StealingHome

7/19/18 2:01pm

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

jkarren777

7/19/18 4:32pm

Best Hs player I have ever seen was Luke Staley

idacoug

7/19/18 5:34pm

I've never heard anyone say that.

JuicyJam

7/19/18 2:19pm

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

jkccoug

7/19/18 2:36pm

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

7/19/18 3:18pm

Well they are limited to utah HS football. Some good talent, but it's no Texas

WeekendWarrior

7/19/18 3:59pm

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

SCcoug

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

Take out Timpview and give a list of kids he offered to and I'll eat my words

WeekendWarrior

Anthony Heimuli, Kruger Bros., Moana O., Jaren Hall, Chase Hansen, Ryker Mathews

Richard Wilson, Jordan Smith, Isaac Asiata, Talon Shumway, Cade Cooper, etc...

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

WeekendWarrior

7/20/18 12:09am

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.

mvtoro

7/20/18 6:29pm

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

WeekendWarrior

7/20/18 9:33pm

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

ALUF 1990

7/19/18 4:31pm

I agree. He’s going to have a solid season. He’s a gamer.

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.

Left Shark Coug

7/19/18 5:43pm

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

SlantRoute

Best elusiveness and change of direction I have ever seen

CallingDingo

7/19/18 5:38pm

Wonder how elusive he would be with another 20 pounds?

Dr T-bone

7/19/18 6:31pm

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