Another QB--McCoy Hill & We Need a Recruiting Coordinator

This is meant TIC, but I think Doman needs to start landing some guys at other positions--we are going to be 8 deep in QBs before you know it now that we have given Jordan's McCoy Hill preferred walk-on status:

I do like that it won't cost us a schollie unless the kid pans out--he's 6'5", 225 and all-state, so it's a worthy investment.

Joe DuPaix is the recruiting coordinator. Maybe all the QBs show that we're not sold on Lark or Munns to be a back up for Heaps the next two or three years?

Or that we have some very, very, very tricky plays coming up.



Heaps with Nelson in the backfield, Mangum in the slot going as a wr sweep. He throws to Alex Kuresa, who throws back to a wide open streaking Jake Heaps for a touchdown.



Maybe throw a chute and ladder in there for more effect?

Wasn't Steve Young the 7th QB on the depth chart his freshman year? So having a ton of quarterbacks isn't new at BYU.



Still, seems like too many nobodies to me.

Yes - Steve Young was the left-handed QB with a tendency to tuck and run that everyone thought should have been switched to running back. This is not TIC. That was how he was viewed until his Junior season.

The big difference here is that when Steve Young was 7th on the depth chart, BYU had a JV football team, so more depth was required and BYU developed from within.

This means we're finally switching to that new offense, the one with 2 QBs at shotgun depth, and the defense will not know which one the ball is going to be hiked to on any given play!

We've been going after some big QB's lately. Jake Heaps will look tiny compaired to these other giants.



With our current QBs and our commits. What's the ave size in the QB department?



Its kinda like our WR's. We got us some big boys.

Yea but can any of them throw like Heaps? I'll take talent over size any day. Just look at the Rodgers brothers at OSU (except when they're playing BYU ;) )

Who wouldn't? They obviously have something in them, if we're accepting them or going after them.

Depth is the key. The more depth, the better the chance of finding the guy. The hallmark of great programs is depth, and BYU has more depth now than since the 80's. Definitely since Bronco took over. Recruiting is key and getting kids to want to come here, even if they might be a project. Sort of like Pitta, Collie, Unga and others were were 2* guys were perceived.

Taysom Hill, Jake Kuresa and Ammon Olsen sound like they could play other positions if they lose the QB battle. All are mobile and run pretty well.

Engemann was a pretty big QB. Just sayin'. ;)

It's Alex Kuresa.



Jake Kuresa is 300+ pounds, and is not very mobile. And he has no eligibility left. ;)

With redshirts and missions, these guys in the stable could all graduate at different times.



My feeling is that Bronco is still shell shocked at the lack of experience and precision at the QB position last year and will not allow that to happen again. While talented QBs are out there, he's going to scoop them up. I like it. What I also like is that they're listening to Doman/DuPaix and pursuing a couple guys that Anae passed on. That says a lot about how bad they want to win. It's not about the "stars" ratings, it's about putting winners on this team.



We now have 5-6 QBs in the pipeline better than the best Ute Qb in theirs. :P

Now we need half a dozen of everything else!

Just so long as they decide on a guy before spring ball is over... Or the first week of Fall Camp at the latest! I swear I'll have a coronary if I see anything as ridiculous as qb2 ever again.

Alright, I'm gonna hold you to that. ;)

Bumping to refresh who is in the QB stable.
