Committed to Cal, Tim was coaching at Banning and was let go after their season, it was after that happened that he decided to go back to finish his degree but that was after signing day happened, at signing day he was just planning on it.

when I talked to Tim during the summer before that, BYU hadn’t found out about Torry yet, even with Tim having been a JC and HS coach, and Chris Ellison who was Torry's position coach at cathedral, Tim didn’t even know that Weber was the assigned recruiting coach until I told him, and he said he hadn’t been contacted by a BYU coach for years, at some point after that they finally started the recruiting process but by that point Torry was ready to commit to Cal where his brother was at and he stopped the recruiting because he was all in for Cal.

When Cal got new coaches and got a 4* WR to flip his commitment to Cal a week before signing day the McTyers all of a sudden found themselves in the recruiting game again. BYU was the new 1st choice and they tried pretty hard to get an offer but BYU coaches passed on him, there were rumors of grades being an issue with Cal, but that was bull, he had a 3.7 gpa at cathedral which is a prep academy.

My perspective is that because BYU never finished their recruiting vetting process, because they only had a week to decide they passed on him because they were still butt hurt from getting burned by coffee boy, the dufus rb from SoCal that I can’t remember at the moment, it wasn’t because of talent, we signed like 6 secondary players that class and Torry was rated higher than all but one of them. He was a need position that was a gift wrapped talent

if Torry hadn’t committed to Cal so early I would guess that BYU would have evaluated him properly earlier and when he came available later he would have been offered the minute Cal pulled his offer. I said it above, but I also think if anyone besides Weber had been assigned to SoCal, he also probably gets the offer, he was not very good at recruiting.
