Okay... so I've pumped up a few my local Utah guys over the years, really wishing that UNLV staff would take a look them. Cammon Cooper graduated HS in 2018 (actually graduated early at the winter break, but his class was 2018) was one that for a few years I kept coming on this board to talk up... I emailed UNLV's recruiting coordinator, the QB coach, and others.... honestly, don't think they ever looked at him, even before the bigger schools came calling... he ended up at Washington State.
Then last year, my neighbor, Boone Abbott (a kid that my son played HS baseball with for a few years), began to blow up. Unfortunately, until his Sr. year he didn't play QB much for varsity... his JV stats were unreal, but it was JV... He was stuck behind a talented QB that graduated a year before who himself signed to play QB at Weber State.... but Boone, from the get-go of his Sr. year, put up video game numbers.... I had already did the same thing with Boone that I did with Cooper... emailing staff, etc... but as the numbers kept growing and small FBS & big FCS schools started offering, I blitz'ed the staff every so often with emails... UNLV got involved a little (probably not because of me, but possibly?), but nothing serious and never offered.... Boone signed with Hawaii, and excited to see what he does there.
I haven't mis-assessed a QB yet... so on that note.....
...the current QB from up here that our staff REALLY needs to start recruiting. Maddux "Maddog" Madsen. He's going to break school & state records... BUT, like Boone, he probably won't be making the rounds at schools' camps as much as he could/should because Maddux plays baseball too.
Maddux come from a big baseball family.... his dad is currently UVU's baseball coach, his older brother plays baseball at UVU (and is legit, not daddy ball), his uncle was coach of Eastern Utah (until this offseason)... & Maddux probably has a chance to get a high major offer in baseball & football.... but will his lack of FB camping keep him off the radars and rankings (similar to Boone?)... it's very possible. Right now the kid is a SOPHOMORE and already putting up huge numbers... sky's the limit, and somebody needs to get in there and recruit this kid, maybe lock him up before others swoop in....
Here's his Maxpreps page https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/maddux-madsen/CeZ46MT6EemAzfp8ouYFiw/football/stats.htm#year=19-20
if football isn't interested, maybe the baseball team can come take a look.... he's named after Greg Maddux (he's got 4 brothers. Their names: Mick, McGwire, Mays & Murphy ... like I said, big baseball family).
