They were just talking about him right now.

Both seem to think he will start at BYU. Scotty was saying by the end of the season, Hans was saying he thinks to start the season.

Scotty is USU's play by play, so he's biased. But he seemed to believe that Hillstead was starting to play really really well before being injured.

I guess we'll see - but I was surprised by their optimism. Scotty was saying he believed the guy would be a "really good Big12 QB".

Baylor is lesser than BYU?

Apr 25, 2:27pm

Honestly, right now, yes. They are a mess. Nicer stadium though.

They have been just as bad for two years now.

Alan Schaefer

When he left they were Sugar Bowl champs right?

Apr 25, 2:30pm

He didn’t leave. He got the boot.

Alan Schaefer

So they were better when he was there, and then got worse when he left.

Sure he lost his job but now you are obfuscating

Fine. True. Correction: Two programs, one good, one bad, didn’t want either

I wouldn't agree that Pitt is a bad program either. They also made a NY6 game in

He's listed at 5-10? For a QB?

Bryce Young went #1 in NFL at 5’9”, Kyler Murray #1 at 5’10”, AZ’s Fifita 5’9”

What has Hans said about Jake Retzlaff? Just curious....

I haven't heard Hans be this positive about any of the current QB's.

Hillstead was my son’s 7x7 QB. He’s smart, decisive, has a great arm, coachable, and fast.

He also did that with a pretty immobile leg. What made him so dangerous
