remember when BYU coaches passed on Torry McTyer in 2012?

That has to be one of the biggest recruiting whiffs of the last 10 years, he is still playing in the NFL, after being a 4 year starter for UNLV.
Tim was basically begging BYU to give him a scholly after Cal dropped him the last week before signing day, still stings when I see Torry playing.

IIRC that was a really small class. Like 15 signees or something like that.

Vince did not want to go to BYU.

Tough to align with position needs when the player has to recruit the school

1/12/21 5:32pm

Tim went on the Utah radio tour trying to drum up interest at the time

Looks like he was 2013. A lot of DBs in that class some hits and misses

1/12/21 5:34pm

Wow, 4 DBs from that class have spent time in the NFL. Leavitt, Kai, Robertson,

I’ve got to imagine the last scholarship went to Davis or maybe Jordan Preator

1/12/21 5:45pm

Davis was an early commit, I went to a few of his HS games to see him in person

g$

1/12/21 5:53pm

Davis committed in July Preator in late November

1/12/21 6:22pm

I looked and Anderson got the last scholly of that class, used it on a LB that

I was more thinking the last spot that went to a cb

1/13/21 6:14am

I thought Davis was recruited as a WR, and was only switched to DB

yes he was signing class of '13

A lazy class like most of his last classes.

1/12/21 6:01pm

It was a whiff, but why does it still sting? You need to...

Um, I think you are remembering the situation the way you want. I'm not sure

As I remember it, his father Tim was at BYU finishing a degree at the time

Yeah, I don't think it was about talent.

I am remembering it correctly, I had spoken to Tim not long before Torry
