UteFanaticParticipantNacua tweeted a few times about how Utah is not good enough for his younger brothers and that he wants “bigger and better things for them.” It’s a bit discouraging to hear stuff like this from players in the program, but even more discouraging to hear some of the responses by Ute fans.
I want the best for my brothers! I’d love to see and play with one of them. Being able to line up with him would be a dream come true. But I know he can do bigger and better things than Utah schools! Just wait on him🔥😭🙏🏾

Lol nothing wrong with Utah it’s a great school. My brother deserves the best and that’s what I want for him. And in my eyes I see him playing at Bama or Clemson!

EagleMountainUteParticipantYeah Bama and Clemson bastions of normalcy compared to Utah.
Edit: I would tell my kids to take the best scholarship available. For me that would be Stanford just because of the alumni association. But yes right now if you want to play in title game those are the two best options.

UteFanaticParticipant
I have absolutely no problem with recruits picking the scholarship option that is in their best interest. It just seems like in this case Nacua isn’t being a very good ambassador for the Utah football program.
If his preference is for his brothers to go to better programs, that’s fine. But he should keep that opinion to himself because it’s not a good look for a current player to say it publicly, IMO.
-
EagleMountainUteParticipant
Well he is just being honest. If he thinks his brothers can be a third string for Bama go ahead.

InactiveHe could not have picked a worse time than the recruiting home stretch to voice this opinion.
After his brother’s shameful display I wondered what he would be.
I guess, now we know.

EagleMountainUteParticipant
It really is a stupid thing to say. Does Utah have kids on the fence with Bama still? You basically show that kid hey don’t go to Utah even their kids say it isn’t worth your time.

Yeah we do, a couple. Also competing with Penn St for one kid and USC for a couple more.

EagleMountainUteParticipant
His brother is a DB? Like what advice is he giving this kid? Utah sends every DB into the Nfl? There are very few who go undrafted or unsigned.
-
crazyuteParticipantAre you talking about Puka Nacua, the WR at Orem high school?

Cut him. It’s not worth carrying a cancerous tumor on the team.

EagleMountainUteParticipant
As much hype as Nacua got he pretty much vanished when Carrington got hurt.

You don’t bite the hand, and so forth.
We have better players than him coming in.
If someone tweets that their boss sucks and their firm is second rate, that person does not remain employed with that firm.
Cut him. F**k him.

rbmw263Participantyou really going to label this kid a cancer off one tweet? it’s something he should have kept to himself and the logic is flawed to say the least but stripped of everything else, at the base of the tweet, is simply a Desire for the best for his family. calling it anything beyond a mistake (cancer…one tweet…really?) is far past sensible
-
EagleMountainUteParticipant
Yeah the problem with the world today. Voice your opinion amongst your family not on social media and make yourself look dumb.

If he’s talking this mess on social media, what’s he saying in the locker room? Is he singing Kumbayah? Actions have consequences. Take a swipe at the program he supposedly grew up dreaming of having a chance to play for? Let him go to Weber St or USU or even the zoo. We don’t need s**t fer brains like this punk. He’s s**tting on my school, and that p**ses me off.

rbmw263Participant
to him I would say:
you could easily make the case that going to bama/Clemson over Utah is a negative in regards to personal long term success. such a deep talent pool at those schools even good players can get lost in the shuffle or, at the least, have their development impaired because established first round draft picks dominate the reps. at Utah, if you are special, you will be special. period.-
Puget UteParticipantAnd if you truly are a special player, realize there are five more players just like you coming in every year. Guarantee some Freshman Phenom will take your playing time and will make you a forgotten man in Tuscaloosa.

-
PlainsUteParticipantAt least he’s not advocating for TDS. My answer to him would be that Utah could be the next Clemson with more talent like his brothers. Why not be known for putting the Utes over the top? It will take much longer (if ever) to be as well known/regarded tradition as schools like Alabama, USC, Oklahoma, Texas, etc, but tradition only gets those teams so far, Alabama can be knocked off as Utah has done.
-
THEeyepatchParticipantAll I can say is that I hope to see Nacua riding the bench most, if not all of next season. He can candy-coat it all he wants but he basically spat (imo) on The University of Utah. His brother was an entitled [explicit] stain while at the tds and so it looks like Samson is as well.
-
Puget UteParticipant
Hey Samson, get Puka to have a sit-down meeting with Cooper Bateman about the things they will tell you to get you to Alabama. Then realize you will be sitting on the bench for four years (unless you get injured) because they are absolutely stacked at your position (and every position, tbh).
Puka, Good luck young man. I hope your brother doesn’t lead you the wrong direction.
