I'm sure they'll find out he played in Idaho and downgrade his performance.

How was that, LAUte?

Would Mangum or Hill be considered the better QB prospect coming into the program?

To answer your question, the answer is it depends. Mangum is the more polished passer coming out of HS. However, Hill is the far superior athlete. If you were a fan of the college football team universally accepted for generating spectacular quarterback after spectacular quarterback I would propose to you that Mangum is to McMahon as Hill is to Young. McMahon was a much better qb than Young for most of their respective college careers, but Young might have been the better one when they each took their final snaps. Young was certainly the better pro qb.

I think either will be a very good college qb and it will make my nipples hard as I sing with great gusto "LEADING HER WAY TO FAME" as the sons of the 208 lead BYU's offense for six straight years post Jake Heaps' stardom!

Solid pickup for BYU and it is always good to steal one from the Utes.

We didn't really want him.

Watched most of Mangum's 7-7 game on ESPNU... Looked pretty good. 3 TD's and no INT. His team won 24-22.

4. Tanner Mangum will be a national name at BYU
Unless you're a BYU fan or a native of Eagle, Idaho, you probably haven't heard of Tanner Mangum. The quarterback prospect is an early commit to BYU and one of the most anonymous four-stars you'll ever find. His anonymity will end when he hits the campus in Provo, Utah, though. In fact, it may end long before that.
This week at The Opening, Mangum has made an early impression as one of the best quarterbacks in attendance. With good size and athleticism and a good presence about him, I'm predicting Mangum puts up some huge numbers in his career at BYU. In the end, there won't be many football fans who don't know his name.

BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Tanner Mangum could have easily let the moment get the best of him.

Mangum, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound quarterback from Eagle, Idaho, was throwing passes during drill work at The Opening when Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice cut to the front of the receiver line.

Mangum looked down the line and could hardly believe his eyes. "Is that really Jerry Rice," he asked himself.

With television cameras on and surrounded by some of the nation's top high school football players, Mangum was asked to throw an 18-yard comeback to arguably the best to ever play the game.

No pressure, right?

"It happened in the blink of an eye," Mangum said. "I was just going back to get another receiver and then Jerry Rice cuts to the front of the line. He says 'Hey, I'm going to run an 18-yard comeback.' I got a little nervous because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of all these people."

He didn't.

Mangum, a BYU commit, delivered a strike.

Was just coming here to post that ESPN article. Another excerpt:

He drew major praise from Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro receiver Dwayne Bowe, who stood on the sideline and watched Mangum shred the team he was coaching for touchdown after touchdown."That quarterback's good man," Bowe said. "That quarterback's good."

Mangum, who came into The Opening as a three-star prospect and the No. 50 quarterback, also has caught the eye of ESPN national director of recruiting Tom Luginbill.

"He has really seen his stock rise in our eyes this week with an accurate and efficient showing," Luginbill said. "He is a late bloomer with good size, more than adequate arm strength and a nice feel for timing and ball placement. He has a great feel for changing ball speeds depending on the throw and the touch to lay the ball into tight spots in coverage on downfield throws.

"What really impressed us was his accuracy throwing on the move. He is a perfect fit for the BYU's offense and should blossom nicely."

Code for we don't pay attention to kids from Idaho.

I thought BYU had given up on Idaho, you had Mark Asper and Brandon Bair at Oregon. Who know who else at Boise State.

I'm pleased to see BYU recruiting Idaho

I'm not sure that us getting Mangum is evidence that we're really recruiting Idaho that well. His older brother Parker was a walk-on receiver at BYU so it's hard to how hard they recruited him. I think Mangum is one of those guys where he was BYU's to lose. All they had to do was show up at his door with an offer and a smile.

Good point. We also didn't get Taysom Hill first time around.

Magnum would be starting at Utah next year.

Probably not. Thanks though. Utah has a verbal from a pretty dang good qb for this class. They will be fine.

[MarkGrace]

Mangum displayed 2 most important traits in successful QBs: Decision-making & Accuracy. His release is quick/ clean. Arm is very strong..

Nike's 7 On tourney is nation's best talent.. QB Tanner Mangum torched that talent.. Therefore he's one of best QBs out there.

Apparently that dude is a private QB coach for Roethlisberger and Cam Newton.
