"As a freshman, Heaps set new standards for BYU freshmen quarterbacks in almost every statistical category. He won a bowl game and was named the game’s MVP. Joining the club appears to be there for the taking."

No chance of it being sooner than that? Detmer was a Cougar Great before his senior season even started.



Bosco had the NC as a junior and BYU even put out the video BYU QB Factory II and included Bosco w/o his senior season being played.



McMahon was one as well after the 1980 season culminated with the Holiday Bowl win.

Okay, if Heaps wins a NC, Heisman, or is instrumental in one of the greatest comebacks in college football history before his senior year, then he can be admitted early.

When he has a billboard in times square promoting him for the Heisman.



When 400 yards passing is a good game and 300 yards passing is mediocre.



When they have to name a co-MVP of the game in order to list anyone other than him.



When he stays for his senior year.



When his stats are a feature on Sportscenter each week.



When he is know nationally by his first name only. (This would be a lot harder than it was for Jimmer...)



When Justin Bieber accuses him of stealing his hair style.

BYU won't be spending the money for that billboard (they didn't with Ty).



400 yard passing games will be a rarity with the way BYU plays now. They run the ball much more than they used to. Chow even said then that he probably let Detmer throw it more than he should have.



I agree on the co-MVP award.



If he's good enough to go after his junior year, and is drafted high (1st or early 2nd round) I have no problem with him leaving. My guess is that he will return for his senior year because of his size, and then be drafted early.



He will be mentioned on sports center.



Asking Jake to do what Jimmer did to be considered a BYU great is a little unreasonable. Jimmer had one of the greatest years EVER by a college athlete in any sport. There are less than 20 basketball players in the history of the NCAA to score more than 1,000 points in a season. Jimmer was the first to do it since Glenn Robinson in the mid to late 90's (at least that's what I thought Greg Wrubell said during one of the games).

If we win every game this season, I'd be willing to put him in. If a field general that young can get a victory @Ole Miss, @Texas, @Oregon State, @TCU (essentially), and @Hawaii while still staying focused and taking care of business at home against Utah and all the other patsies, as well as the caliber of bowl opponent we would have with an undefeated season, that's something special. It's only been done once here, and never by a sophomore - although it is true that Bosco had less on-field experience than Heaps has now when '84 started...

Let's let him play at least one full season before we start building his statue and renaming the field...

Also, let him wear dark shades to a bowl game, and bic his head.
