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.

So this tweet is referring to a PWO?

That tweet was in 2017. I think you're more up to date.

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

12/19/18 2:49pm

Just like Chase Hansen. You can play QB.

BYU4eVeR

12/19/18 2:54pm

Well that's how you play the recruiting game these days.

mudpupper

12/19/18 3:03pm

Stupid not to recruit him.

TonyStark

12/19/18 3:02pm

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

Zilog

12/19/18 3:04pm

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

12/19/18 3:22pm

BYU offered but pulled it later

palangi

12/19/18 3:15pm

BYU would really benefit from his talents and character

libertycoug

12/19/18 3:50pm

He’s going to be really good somewhere

Better athlete than conover...

I like him. He’s worth a offer

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

Thisisme

I think they are the same age actually

Kama'aina

12/19/18 11:45pm

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.

Kama'aina

12/20/18 11:37am

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

Sounds like Chip has his eye on a couple of local QB's...

Wow, bad for BYU but have to feel good for the local kids.

I hope Chip offers your sons. Is that part of it weird though?

If BYU came back with another offer, would Cooper's level of interest be now?

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

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

coastcat

12/20/18 8:58am

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?
