When it is a guy that is true athlete and can play other positions you almost have to take that chance.

Not likely

BYU wants him to play safety. He wants to play QB. I'd assume he goes to Utah State. Tho they just signed 3 star qb.

Not sure he's a QB at the next level. Good athlete though. Maybe safety?

Blueto

4.74 40 time. Great athlete who is either a QB or Safety. 4.7 limits many

Yes he is old and it benefitted tremendously in high school

Conover is older than Cooper

Cooper is 18. Conover is 19.

Holy crap my Nephew is just 17, age matters coaches need to check ages of kids for sure.

I had heard they pulled the offer and in turn lost any chance of Nacua.

Strong BYU ties: Grandpa was a BYU coach; dad came to BYU as a QB (injury ended

Just do what other coaches smartly do. Recruit him as a QB and then switch

mudpupper

Just like Chase Hansen. You can play QB.

Stupid not to recruit him.

HE would like to go to BYU but wants to play QB and they want him to play safety. They are recruiting him and offeredhim

Still stupid, he just was named MVP of some all-star game

I see a kid who is an athlete and recognized and offered as such

travelcoug

12/20/18 7:45pm

I understand and completely agree. Colleges don't care about overinflated stats.

coastcat

12/24/18 7:16am

I don't know about that. He's a really good athlete but benefitted big in hs

palangi

BYU offered but pulled it later

palangi

BYU would really benefit from his talents and character

libertycoug

I would prefer our safeties run better than a 4.74. Dline, ILB okay but not dbs

To clarify a few points in this thread. 1) Conover is OLDER than Cooper Legas

I think they are the same age actually

Kama'aina

Conover is 19, Cooper is 18.

Thisisme

12/19/18 11:55pm

My understanding is he 18 almost 19. So they are roughly the same age.

Conover has a future as a D1 qb cooper has a future playing another position

BYU did not do a good job at recruiting the Orem boys. I wouldn't be surprised

hoydis

BYU has done a poor job of recruiting local kids period...

CoachSpeak

12/20/18 8:45am

The opposite of the BB program where there is too much Utah County emphasis

coastcat

Huh? We got Roberts, Daley, Mitchell, Christensen, Freeland, Maile... Thats a good chunk of local talent

monkeycowboy

Sure, but there is more to it than that....

CoachSpeak

Maybe they don't grade the locals as high as the other kids they're going after?
