BYU Committ Mangum At HS AA Game

PrintBYU commit Tanner Mangum, fresh off his Elite 11 MVP performance, saw significant action in the 2012 Under Armour High School All-American Game on Thursday night. The game was broadcast live on ESPN. Mangum, who has burst on the recruiting scene during the 2011 campaign, didn't have a game to remember; at least statistically. Mangum tossed three interception, two of which were deflections off of the hands of his intended receivers. The Idaho native did show great poise in the pocket and the ability to make key throws with a rush in his face. I could tell he was little nervous and was trying to do a little too much. As @MacDiego pointed on Twitter, this is a good thing and will hopefully cause Mangum to work harder to prepare for Division 1 football. In other words, not becoming a diva (See Heaps, Jacob B.)
A couple of cool moments after the jump...
Because of an injury, Mangum was asked to switch teams at halftime. ESPN National Recruiting Expert Tom Luginbill noticed how well Mangum handled the change
Can't wait to see you in a BYU uniform, Tanner.

Didn't he throw 4 ints in the Idaho State Championship Game?
He’s got amazing talent and baller skills, just needs to work on accuracy

Nice, I like it!
BYU is my #2 Team but I don’t really like cougarboard to much. Thats such a format from the late 90’s….

I am stoked some one is on this running it. Can’t wait to be more involved reading, commenting, and even posting. Thanks halfhoosierhen.
And I am excited for this Mangum kid, but as we Cougar fans know, let’s not get to excited til we see the work. Also let us not hype him up so much his head nearly explodes and it requires him to transfer to some school out in Kansas.

Mangum won the accuracy competition at the Elite 11. Let’s hope that he can translate that to the field.

Heaps=Mangum
Talk him up. Say he will lead you to National Championships.
If you win a Rose Bowl you are allowed to live in the past.

Heaps was an immature kid
Mangum is pretty put together, or seems pretty put together in recent interviews… He’ll also have the power of a mission on his side haha. Mangum will be a better leader than Heaps but he sure is throwing a lot of picks these days. Something to work on

Magnum seems like Heaps 2.0
But the only difference I see with him is, he will go on a mission and come back more mature. Some see missions as curses in the BYU realm but some of our best leaders at the QB position have come from return missionaries.
Most the team is return missionaries and you can’t truely expect a 19 year old boy to be a leader among men. It can happen though.

Mangum didn't play at all his Junior year
He also wasn’t extraordinarily impressive his Senior season. The off-season camps and his prototype body got him noticed.

Magnum's mission
Going on a mission where he won’t be fawned over as an “elite 11 elder” will do wonders for his maturity and it will help him command respect from other RM’s when he gets back. Of course he might not be ready to play until 2015, but hopefully he will be worth the wait.
QB choices will be interesting under Doman
Mangum is your typical pure-talent passer. But somehow, nowadays in Provo I see a kid like Hill or even Olsen fitting into the new system so much better…

Boise state never offered him.
Boise State was on the list but went with Patti instead. Chris Petersen has been watching Mangum since he was a Freshman at Timberline High School. You gotta wonder why he didn’t offer when Boise State made his short list.

Recruiting Doesn't Have to Make Sense
Maybe Boise doesn’t like dealing with missions, or maybe Cris Peterson has a crystal ball that says this Patti guy will be amazing, or maybe Mangum just doesn’t fit into their system terribly well.
