Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Rivals' highest-rated quarterback (No. 63 overall) is Jake Heaps, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound drop-back passer from suburban Seattle who has already enrolled at BYU. With the departure of three-year Cougars star Max Hall, Heaps, a consistent and accurate passer, will be one of four thus-far untested quarterbacks competing for BYU's starting job this spring.

"Heaps is probably the most ready to play in college," said Newberg, "but he needs to get bigger."
Others aren't so keen.

SuperPrep's Allen Wallace said Heaps is "a guy that's polished, but you wouldn't say he was stupendous." Luginbill, whose service doesn't ranks Heaps on its ESPNU 150 list, calls him a great fit for BYU's controlled passing offense but questions his potential. "As we looked at [Heaps] and studied him, we felt like he was going to be same guy five years from now that he is today," he said.

Hmmm

Wallace’s statement, if true, is pretty disappointing. We just had a guy (Hall) who was no better his senior year than his sophomore and junior seasons. I hope Heaps can prove Wallace to be wrong.

How can you really project something like that? I mean, the guy is still a teenager! Is he the same guy that he was five years ago? I certainly think not. Plenty of time to get bigger and improve.

I agree with you 100%

It’s really interesting that two recruiting “experts” can be SO polarized in their opinions of this kid. By the way, if you’re going to go by one of those sources, stick with rivals and scout—they are intensely focused on recruiting and follow those guys for a long time.
