      Is it true that we didn’t offer Dart?

      Offered him way too late so he had cooled on Utah by then, and they offered in secrecy because they were scared of losing Costelli’s commitment so it wasn’t publicly reported.

        being born and raised in Utah and seeing SEC football, is probably pick ole miss as well. Football God > QB for Utah. Plus it’s a chance to expand your horizons.

          He went to USC initially… He transferred to Ole Miss when USC brought in Caleb Williams.

        I didn’t think he ever really considered Utah

          He did not. He told anybody who’d listen that he wanted to go out of state. People on this board keep forgetting that, or perhaps like gator, just didn’t know that. We were never in the running.

      His Dad played DB at Utah and was a very good player. I think if they had started early and kept after him, they would have had a great chance at landing him. No long trips, he was just up the road in Kaysville.

      Just another example of less than stellar recruiting of the QB position.

        He never wanted to be a Ute. Why can’t people figure this out?

          And sometimes where dad played does the opposite for a kid. They want their own path.

          Then he didn’t need to commit to Utah. But that doesn’t preclude Utah from offering which is all anyone is questioning in retrospect.

          The only reason to not offer is if you are afraid he might accept. And based on the results of the 3 times I know of where Utah agreed to stop recruiting the position if a kid committed (Tuttle, Costelli, Wilson), I’d say it’s time for a new policy. Because for the first 2 of those names, there were kids who at least at one point in the process wanted Utah and have turned out much better than what they were passed over for.

      Not true … Jax absolutely wanted to be a Ute, but Utah botched his recruitment. As referenced before, Utah didn’t want to offend Costelli and offered Jax quietly too late in his recruitment. I have it on very good record this is how it played out. Jaxson to this day hates Utah because of how his recruitment played out.

      I hope Scalley has learned some lessons on this- better in state recruiting, and not missing stud qbs.

      Good authority? That’s the most useless statement in this day and age. I live one street away from his family. There was zero interest in heading to the U.

      “Good authority, that’s a clown comment Bro.”

        I’ve never lived a block away from the family or have a source that I can use for good authority. I would take both statements on an anonymous chat board with the same level of disbelief.

      Live close to his family in Syracuse or Kaysville? Sounds like living close to the Darts doesn’t equate to knowing squat about this subject! You’re not the only one who has ties or has “lived a block away” from the family. You’re wrong on this one.
