I think it is more complicated than that. The news that Hansen playing this fall comes on the heels of news that Shreve is moving on. That put depth in a crisis for 2012. Second, I think Utah's coaches want to have a longer look at Hansen at qb before he leaves. They need to know what they have with him as a qb to see if they can count on him at that position when he returns, or if they need a qb recruit in 2015."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

St. George Newspaper (The Spectrum) is reporting that Dixie State's soph QB Cody Stevenson is transferring to Utah. He played a lot as a frosh in 2010, but was benched midway through 2011. I don't know a lot about him.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post

The article says he's not a great runner, and DSC likes to have a running QB. I don't really follow DSC football. I'm not ready to throw a party for the transfer of a JuCo backup, but I think Stevenson played a Juan Diego. Anyone know anything about him?Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post
The Utes should've gone after SUU's QB last year - Brad Sorenson, the kid who left the byu when Heaps arrived. He's pretty good."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

The rule especially crafted because of BYU may be part of the reason for Chase's plans:
NCAA adds 'Riley Nelson Rule' to books
One thing that will result from Chase Hansen's plans is that he'll fall under the Riley rule. That doesn't stop mission presidents, bishops, family members, friends, missionary companions, or the Spirit from contacting him, but it's something.The main point is that this sort of scenario — where a player announces a transfer, mid-mission — is unlikely to occur again. That's because on Aug. 1, the NCAA enacted legislation to keep missionaries from being contacted by colleges while they're on their missions, period. Known to USU fans as the "Riley Nelson Rule," the NCAA is saying, in essence, keep your hands off those missionaries.
In Bylaw 13.1.1.3.2.1 of the NCAA handbook, it states:In Bylaw 13.1.1.3.2.1 of the NCAA handbook, it states: An institution shall not contact a student-athlete who has begun service on an official church mission without obtaining permission from the institution from which the student-athlete withdrew prior to beginning his or her mission if the student-athlete signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) and attended the institution (with which he or she signed the NLI) as a full-time student. ... If such a student-athlete has completed his or her official church mission and does not enroll full-time in a collegiate institution within one calendar year of completion of the mission, an institution may contact the student-athlete without obtaining permission from the first institution.
In short, that means let the missionaries be missionaries.
And don't even think about sending cookies.Last edited by LA Ute; 12-02-2011, 09:11 AM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Cody Stevenson started at DSC as a freshman, then didn't play much this season. *6'6", 205 lbs., played in high school at Juan Diego, where he was all-state in 3A. *Doesn't seem like much to get excited about. He does have a reputation for a good arm. My guess is that the Utah coaches don't ever want to be in the same position again as they were this season, and are welcoming safety net options like Stevenson.Originally posted by Solon View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

I am guessing that Stevenson would be a preferred walk on. If he takes a scholarship, he would have to sit a year per transfer rules. By not taking compensation, he would be able to play this spring(if he transfers by then).Originally posted by Solon View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

Seems to me Hays was this season's Stevenson...a safety net.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post
I don't see how this does anything to improve the QB situation. More than anything, it's just insurance that it's no worse than what it is.
It would be nice to get to the point of, say, USU, where we have two DI QBs on the roster.Comment

Will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I predict he never goes, particularly if he gets there, does well, and realizes he could be the starter in 2013.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostComment
