From a fan perspective, I don’t think the NIL/Portal system is that much different from recruiting in general.

There are many high school recruits that never even see the field. Most fans probably don’t even follow recruiting all that closely. I actually think that more people are paying attention to portal comings and goings than they ever did…[Read more]

I won’t pretend to know, but most people in this ‘industry’ are looking to advance their careers and get paid more.
Sometimes people bite off more than they can chew, or leave success to find failure (Scott Frost, Brian Harsin, Chip Kelly, etc).
I guess you can’t fault them for shooting their shot. Many people have succeeded following this…[Read more]

Pepa: definitely yes.

Rose, maybe if unable to find at least one or two serviceable backups fit for Becks offense. Still a risk coming off surgery. I doubt Rose gets picked up. Maybe he just wants new scenery. Can’t blame him.

Calhoun: no thanks. Utes easily find a better replacement.

Wilson not wired for Becks QB run game. Needs a fresh s…[Read more]

To explain it in two words: total $#!tshow !

i will pass on Calhoun blew against the zoobies they can have him.

He got a crystal ball to Arizona by 247.

Pepa and Rose. The rest are just not worth the time honestly.

I think Wilson could be good if he sat a year and ran the scout team.

The problem with Rose is that, I’m assuming, he will most likely not be wanted back by Beck. He’s not a dual threat QB. Yes, he can occasionally run when needed, but he’s not a running threat like Dampier or 2021-2022 Rising. Wilson is probably the only QB Beck would welcome back, but I doubt the team wants him back.

I doubt we’d get them, but I’d like to see Utah offer Florida CB Ja’keem Jackson and TE Arlis Bordingham, since both were in RES in 2023, and both are positions of need.

Well, it makes sense. This year was supposed to be our year. The entire 5 projected WR targets at the start of the year (Singer, Alford, McClain, Pittman, and Parks) are all gone. Even considering TE’s, Kuithe, Bentley, Lohner, Ryan, and Miki are gone. The WR and TE room is completely devoid of proven talent.

Depends on if you want to know how it was supposed to work (sponsorship deals because their name, image, or likeness was marketable; revenue sharing from jersey sales with their name, etc.) or how it actually works (pay-to-play, agents; collectives collect money, coaches or athletic dept. kind of have to tell them what can be offered, now…[Read more]

Please come back: Calhoun, Boumeister, and Rose
Sure: Randle, Pepa, Stanley,
No thank you: Wilson (if the drama rumors are true)

the problem with King is he’s been running the wrong direction for the throws his way… Hopefully that gets corrected, I think he can have a big year

So if I said we won’t be able to land any WR in the portal so we’re screwed, that would be better? That would be critical thinking?

We’re going to get WR’s from the portal, 11 have listed Utah as offering. None of us know which ones we’ll get but I would guess we get 3z

Not sure if I agree. Having Micah Bernard come back was really nice, this season would have been even more disappointing without him.

Most of these guys are 18-22. They’re young and figuring things out. If they get out into the Portal and realize the grass isn’t always greener, I think letting them come back is fine.
