Re: Heaps is signed
I still remember Lavell Edwards about the signing of Ty Detmer, "I don't know if he'll ever play for us or not, but we're glad to him signed." Edwards was always the master of understatement, but his experience probably told him you just never know if I player is going to work out or not. We should all temper our expectations about Heaps; hopefully he's the real deal, but you never know. First, he has to displace Riley Nelson, who probably has the inside track for starting the first game next fall. But if Heaps can come to spring ball and impress the coaches, make a statement, and show he can play at this level, right out of high school, the coaches just might go with him.
I'm not sure what his mission plans are (I am guessing, for some reason, he's going to play football and not serve a mission), but if he is planning on a mission, the coaches are probably going to give the nod to Nelson. But it would be exciting to see a freshman come in, start, and set the world on fire.
