Robert Klemko has a cautionary tale all about Brett Smith, the former Wyoming quarterback who was first committed to San Jose State University football but changed his mind. Marcus Arroyo helped convince him to come to Laramie and then Arroyo left to become the quarterback coach at Cal for Jeff Tedford. Hey, it's a business.
A couple of snippets:
"...they recall the missteps that have kept Brett here instead of being on an NFL roster—or even back at the University of Wyoming for his senior season. It’s a catalog of realizations, all seemingly obvious in hindsight, that were ambiguous at the moment of execution..."
and
"...The same pool of scouts that labeled Smith Rds. 4-7—meaning they could see him being one of the draft’s 256 picks—told him just weeks later he wasn’t among the top 335 prospects invited to the 2014 combine..."
What's puzzling is that Smith never consulted with his Cowboy head coach before making the decision to turn pro.
