When you say Conover was “highly” recruited

Are you only basing this off the Alabama offer? He was only the #14 rated recruit in Arizona that year, the #4 QB in the state, and rated as a 3 star recruit. Based on that and the fact he hasn’t taken a live snap at the college level and hasn’t played a live game since 2018, I think he still has a ton to prove.

Brief thoughts on Hall v Romney v Conover.

I say take the 2-3 great games from Hall if you can, then adapt. Play the best guy now.

6/14/21 5:06pm

I have the same concerns about Hall

We’d move to Romney who has already shown the ability to win games. We’d use that time to prep Conover just in case

6/14/21 5:14pm

Probably, but I have heard that the plan was to bring in Conover this year at some point regardless

Heard from who?

IIRC; Wilson came in because Mangum was underperforming

I don't understand why Romney gets constantly downgraded for that win over BSU.

So, a good game manager. Good it. I agree.

6/14/21 5:34pm

Yes, which is more than BYU has had at QB before Wilson for a very long time.

It could be argued Ty Detmer was a consummate game manager, mostly.

I think a lot of top programs roll their dice on the vice versa oftentimes.

The OL returns 6 guys have have started multiple games, so better than average.

He was a Four Star

For sure he was higher rated than Hall and Romney

That Saban flew out to Arizona to offer him makes him as good as a 5* in my mind

SinkingQuffa

6/15/21 8:31am

That is the definition of hyperbole

BigYfan

6/15/21 10:12am

Not more hyperbolic than the things said about Hall

2FarGone

6/15/21 11:07am

Hyperbole? I drew a comparison I meant to be taken literally.

SinkingQuffa

6/15/21 11:13am

You said he was a 5 star in your mind simply because Saban offered him

BigYfan

6/15/21 5:29pm

Yeah. The winniest college HC of the biggest program in the country.

SinkingQuffa

And here are his offers: he was highly recruited (notice the four stars)

I don't think that's unpopular at all.
