Who has been the biggest recruiting disappointment in the last 10 years?

How is it not Jake Heaps?

IMO, it's Heaps or Troy Hinds.

Except I have a hard time naming Hinds when it was injuries.

Huge bummer. This sounds like we're calling out guys & don't see it as his fault really.

I didn't read it like that. I'm disappointed he was injured and couldn't perform

If it's not a calling out, then I agree. Hinds would be up there. Such a bummer how that went for him & BYU.

Maybe TNT is misremembering. Hinds wasn't a 5* recruit

TNT

Maybe not, but his offer list was as impressive as it gets.

He arm was a wreck most of his career. He never had a chance.

Jake Heaps and Tanner Mangum tie for #1

Mangum came in and delivered big time in a year he wasn't expected to

If BYU had the same set of receivers and offense for Mangum's full eligibility

Tanner Mangum brought us the win against Nebraska and the Boise State

Look at Mangum's resume. Some solid wins. Then look at what he endured

I don't understand how that means he threw the balls at the receivers' feet.

Clearly not the same offensive system from Anae to Detmer. Clearly not the

What he did his freshman season was throw safe passes to the outside and hope

That is a perfect example of throwing it up and hoping Matthews gets it.

Haha....first of all it's Juergens, not Matthews. Okay so it was pure luck what

You're right, it wasn't Matthews for this one. And of course there's a big

We aren't comparing Mangum to Wilson, only that Mangum wasn't the most

Injuries are disappointing though.

8/16/19 2:26pm

That doesn't make the player a disappointment. Splitting hairs, maybe, but I don't think so.

Most of the recruiting busts were derailed by injuries
