Provo • With one exception, BYU’s dismissal last month of offensive coordinator and Cougars quarterbacking legend Ty Detmer does not appear to have weakened the recruiting class it hopes to sign Wednesday as the new early signing period begins.
Detmer’s nephew, Zadock Dinkelmann, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback from San Antonio, Texas, reopened his recruitment days after the announcement after having committed to the Cougars last summer.
It was a significant blow to BYU’s recruiting efforts, but it was lessened Saturday night when Stacy Conner, a 6-5, 185-pound QB from Wylie, Texas, flipped from UNLV to BYU.
