Four-star QB Jacob Conover almost ready to decide

quote:

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Jacob Conover has a handful of favorites and the four-star quarterback is almost ready to make a decision.

“I want to be committed by the end of April or early May,” Conover said this past weekend at the adidas West Coast Invitational.

“When you’re committed, you can start building the class with that team. Wherever I go, I want to start building that class to make sure we have a good 2019 class.

“With the new rule that you can start taking officials in April I want to start doing that. I’ve been talking to some schools to set up officials so that will be good.”

Arizona State, BYU, Alabama and Oregon State are the four serious contenders for the Chandler, Ariz., quarterback with one other team still hanging around at this point.

“I’m starting to narrow it down,” Conover said. “I want to keep Stanford in the mix even though they haven’t offered. We’ve been communicating a lot. They take a long time but we’re going to see if we can work something out.”

The four-star standout is growing more familiar with the new Arizona State coaching staff and will continue to learn more about the Sun Devils. BYU is a major player since Conover will go on his Mormon mission after high school and he has other connections to that school as well.

“I want to see it progress,” Conover said of ASU. “I’ll be able to go to practice these upcoming weeks. Coach (Herm) Edwards brings a new energy and I like coach (Rob) Likens and the offense he brings so it will be fun to watch.

“(BYU’s) Kalani Sitake is just a phenomenal head coach. The new offensive staff he’s brought in is exciting, not only the recruits but the team that’s there. Gunner’s (Romney) brother is a quarterback there now and I’ve been able to get feedback with what they’re doing there so it’s been cool.”

Alabama and Oregon State are definitely players as well.

“With Tua (Tagovailoa) coming in, it kind of opens up some new windows,” Conover said of the Crimson Tide. “It was exciting to watch them throw the ball more.


“(Oregon State coach) Jonathan Smith is a great guy. It’s kind oh my hometown being from Oregon so it would be cool to go back up there.”

The latest with Rivals100 No. 1 Quavaris Crouch

quote:

The hectic recruitment of Quavaris Crouch has him questioning everything he is hearing from coaches, colleges, and players. The No. 1 player in the Rivals100 out of Charlotte (N.C.) Harding University isn’t in a rush to make a decision and he is still feeling his way through this spring period. In the video above, Crouch talks about the schools that are doing a good job recruiting him, who he has the best relationships with, where he will visit next, and much more about the schools that he wants to learn more about.

NOTES…

-Crouch thinks a lot of schools are doing a good job recruiting him but some of his best relationships are with coach Bentley from South Carolina, coaches Tennessee, and coach McGee from Georgia.

Tennessee- Crouch will visit Tennessee next weekend with Rivals250 wide receiver Khafre Brown. Will be Crouch’s second visit and wants to get closer to the coaches and players. He has a good relationship with coach Pruitt and his area recruiter. He likes what the offense is going to look like and thinks his running style would fit well.

South Carolina- Crouch wants to see them play and compete this year. He hasn’t visited recently but wants to get back soon so he can see what system the new offensive coordinator is putting in.

Georgia- Crouch thinks Georgia will be hard to beat on the field in the future. He talks to former five-star running back Zamir White and is building a relationship with him. He is helping Crouch work through the recruiting process. Crouch also talks about his relationship with Thomas Davis, who is helping him train.

-Crouch is still deciding whether he wants to play running back or linebacker.

-He still likes Michigan and talks to Alabama a little bit but he wants to visit those schools more so he can get a better feel for them.

-Crouch wants to visit Florida and Florida State during his spring break. He will probably visit South Carolina and Clemson too because they are pretty close to home and easy for him to get to.

-The coaching staff movement has made it hard for Crouch to stay familiar with certain schools and coaches.

-Crouch is really interested in Notre Dame and wants to learn more about them. He likes the prestige at Notre Dame and the fact that it is a religious school.

RIVALS' REACTION...

Crouch is having a difficult time deciding what he likes and doesn't like about certain schools an coaches. Each time he does an interview it seems like he is less sure about the schools he likes. Tennessee has done a nice job staying on him and they are doing everything they can to make him feel comfortable. South Carolina continues to be one of the schools that reaches out to him the most. Georgia hasn't quite turned up the heat on Crouch yet but his relationship with Zamir White and having Dawgs legend Thomas Davis consistently around him bodes well for Georgia.

Crouch should have a busy spring break with visits to Florida and Florida State in the works. Both schools have plenty to show him and they will need to take advantage of their time with him if they hope to be considered serious contenders.

Watch out for Notre Dame. A visit to South Bend could really help the Fighting Irish turn into a serious contender. Notre Dame has shown what they can do with dominant downhill runners and big, athletic linebackers.

Michigan and Alabama remain in the conversation but Crouch seems more focused on learning about other schools that have piqued his interest so far. Don't be surprised if Crouch eventually refocuses on these two schools down the line.


Well that doesn't sound good. FWIW, an "insider" on BOL says we really fricked up with Crouch by suggesting he play LB in college.
