Here's a list of QBs offered by Alabama that year that had a rating as low as Conover

• Lance LeGendre
• Jalon Jones
• Paul Tyson
• John Rhys Plumlee
• Michael Johnson Jr
• Grant Gunnell
• Ty Evans
• Cornelius Brown

How many of those guys turned out?  As a note, one of those guys actually DID sign with Alabama, but I'm willing to bet nobody here can name which one without looking.  Conover would have had the same opportunity as those guys, so makes sense to go to BYU and get a potential shot.

If the team is bringing in a new 5-star every year, getting the offer to be QB4 isn't great
