Important Note on Conover

ChandlerAZCoug

8/25/21 3:43pm

ARod has clearly said a lot of glowing things about him, so I think we have much to look forward to in future years

Indy Coug

8/25/21 3:45pm

Question is, is he willing to sit behind Jaren and possibly Romney for 3 years?

ZacSeljaas'Stache

8/25/21 3:46pm

Well Jaren is going to win the Heisman this season and go Pro so he won’t wait

Have you talked to him? Do you know what his aspirations are?

I'm sure his goals are not to watch JH play for three years.

Romney, always the senator or governor but never the president. Sigh.

So are they going to give Conover the starting spot next year ahead of Hall?

Hall's going to the NFL next year.

He will be a starter for BYU, so stop this.

No chance, none whatsoever. If he rides the pine this year and Jaren plays very

No he won’t. The likelihood is that he’ll leapfrog Romney...

As he should if he has NFL aspirations, no one wants 24-25 year old rookie QBs

Did you watch him in high school? I assume so, due to the board name.

I didn't realize that in Arizona high school football is an individual event.

You do realize that Conover could have gone anywhere he wanted as well...right?

So could Heaps and Jack Tuttle. What’s your point?

Bobmarleyjr

Seriously? So could Trevor Lawrence, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman

kimdaddy35

Once you’re in college your HS career is irrelevant. 5 star like Chris Clark

Bobmarleyjr

8/26/21 2:35pm

Why leave? What are you talking about? No one on this thread is advocating that he leave.

kimdaddy35

8/26/21 2:37pm

People are saying he will because he could start somewhere else

Bobmarleyjr

8/26/21 2:44pm

By your logic, BYU should recruit 2-stars, because "H.S doesn't matter".

Reread. “Once you’re in college.” You have to earn it

For every Heaps there is 10 5-Stars that are amazing. Five-stars, in general,

Heaps wasn't a 5*, he was a 4*. And lots of 4* recruits flame out, especially

He was 5/4. One of them had him at 4 one at 5.

247, Rivals, and ESPN all had him as a 4*. Am I missing something?

Maybe it is hilarious, but don't we see similar comments from Whittingham almost every year?

That his third string QB is almost as good as the best player in CFB? No.

Rattler was suspended the last bit of his senior year so he didn’t beat him

College coaches and recruiting analysts didn’t think there was a debate.

Conover hasn’t played. So nothing has been “proven” in that comparison. He’s years of development behind right now.

It’s not an insult. You’re just wrong re: “proven”. You have no data for Conover as to his performance as a CFB player.
