RoboUte replied to the topic We are failing at NIL? in the forum Football 7 hours, 27 minutes ago
We know the strength of our recruiting classes based on the same indicators as before. Anyone can draw their own conclusions as to whether we’re recruiting better than almost all former pac12 programs based on different rankings. What do those rankings tell you?

The only thing I’ve heard is that the coaches have placed a value on position groups, and the NIL people basically stick to what the coaches are saying we should spend for those position groups based on needs. I’m guessing they make exceptions for higher level players if/when they can. But, I’m not an insider so what do I know?

Victim didn’t withdraw, there was a joint agreement for dismissal. Likely there’s been a settlement between them.

This year is the chance for Whittingham to declare emphatically that the last 36 months or so have been noise, purely an unfortunate series of consecutive and often coincident insults that have compounded to derail a formerly impressive program.
Given that he had every opportunity (over a period of several years) to have a backup quarterback, a…[Read more]

This coaching/conditioning staff needs to prove they can get a QB through the season uninjured. My biggest fear is we’ll have a strong early showing that is extinguished by a QB injury.

The victim withdrawing the case is an entirely separate can of worms that I’m not going to touch. That said, it is so on-brand for BYU that he is still transferring because even without a formal charge or legal case, he was suspended due to honor code violations.
I don’t think he’s anything special at QB but I think they’d have benefited from…[Read more]

I expect them to have a good year, but, like the last two years, it depends on injuries. People forget that we were doing just fine until Baylor got away with one of the latest hits I’ve ever seen.
Awful injury luck across the entire team has derailed our last two seasons.
We will be fine as long as that doesn’t happen again.

The TSPP fan reactions to him being gone are pretty funny. When news first came out about the incident, there were two main responses. Either he didn’t do it/won’t get suspended, Or, OMG WE ARE SCREWED.
Now that he is actually gone gone (reportedly), the reaction has been, “meh, we didn’t need him anyway because mmmmkay Hillstead is actually just…[Read more]

What worries me the most about our passing game isn’t the lack of experience at WR. It’s the experience our presumed starter has at throwing INTs.
I watched our Spring game on ESPN+, and thought that Dampier was just “pretty good”. He wasn’t “great”. And nobody behind him looked capable of leading us to Arlington in December.
Travis Wilson…[Read more]

Southern Appalachia: an area with parts of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, is seeing a lot of population growth.

Your aunt is mostly correct. Jake’s statement never went so far to directly blame a Ute player, but he did say:
-The victim told police that the perpetrator was a childhood friend, which is strong evidence it wasn’t Jake as the victim grew up in SLC and Jake didn’t
That was all he needed to say, but he added:
-Victim also slept with multiple Utah…[Read more] -

Keeping things private isn’t necessarily sweeping it under the rug. The HC office isn’t going to fo aire the dirty laundry of everyone who violated the code but didn’t commit any crime.
In JR’S case, because there’s a legal filing of course its public.

Our offense should be better with a solid, experienced Oline leading the way for a dynamic QB. I worry a bit about the passing game because of our lack of experience at WR.
We have some talent on defense like Damunia, Barton, Johnson, Fano, Snowden, etc. However, it seems to me that we are thin, especially at tackle. We cannot afford any…[Read more]

I think BYU will be better in the long run with a new QB. They are lucky that they start with a very easy schedule, and the new QB can get acclimated. I suspect it will be Hillstead, and in the end, I think he will be more productive for BYU.
BYU does NOT handle the honor code the way it has in the past. Previously, you would be suspended for…[Read more]

Since the Davies suspension, BYU has made a concerted effort to handle honor code violations in private unless the violation is made public through some other means. I have heard that part of this shift in honor code enforcement has resulted in lighter consequences for athletes. In other words, they sweep what they can under the rug.

Of all the ways for the season to be easier for Utah, this one sucks the most. I am very much not a lawyer, and I’ve been trying to avoid touching this with a ten foot pole, but both outcomes appear to suck quite a bit.

Apparently lines up with their term schedule, so it would be a 1 term suspension

If you haven’t looked at their schedule, it’s very easy. All three non-con games should be cake, then they get Cincinnati, Arizona, UCF, and West Virginia. I’d be shocked if they lose more than one of those.
Even without Retzlaff, I like them to beat TCU at home. And who knows what we’ll get from Colorado.
I think they’re 7-5 at the worst.
