#2 player for the class in the state of Oregon, very nice!

From his X profile, it looks like he was 100% committed to the Beaves in January and now he’s 1000% committed to Utah. I’ll cut him some slack; it looks like he’s following Atuaia to Utah.

summary: yadda yadda yadda yadda we need more $$ yadda yadda yadda yadda.

don’t we already have two other guys? Hopefully one of them is good.

big, strong, AND fast. Very nice

Great? How many stars? What are his skills? I’m all for getting as many QB’s as possible at this point.

Super.

To be fair, they are/were both Finnish products (see what I did there :P)

Seriously though, I’m disappointed that neither Mike nor Miro ever really got a solid shot. Like everything else with Craig, it just seemed like another revolving door. So I don’t know that we really know how Miro would have finished up the season if he had been getting…[Read more]

I thought it said “Major hehchman has committed to Utah.

You can’t juggle 3 different logos and wear a different uniform combo every week and expect brand recognition and brand appeal.

Decide on and use one logo. Commit to one home and one away uniforms. You want an alternate or themed uniform and helmet, fine but it is special occasions only like Mom’s fine china. Its jersey, pants and helmet don…[Read more]

I’ve been harping on this one for a year. we shouldn’t be in UA footwear.

Notre Dame is sponsored by Under Armor and has an artificial turf field.
These two items are often blamed for Utah’s injury woes.
I don’t recall hearing the same about Notre Dame. Granted, I don’t follow them closely.

That said, ‘brand power’ and design definitely seem lacking.

As @utegator mentioned above, I too have tried to buy Utah…[Read more]

When was the last time Utah won just two conference games? Or finished with a losing record? Yeah, up until last year, it had been over a decade since that happened. And yet it did.

If your thinking is that 9-3 is the expected result, you’re looney tunes, my friend snd absolutely bordering on the delusion we used to mock BYU fans over for so…[Read more]

I’ve told this story before, but just in case:

My son plays college soccer at an Under Armour school. When he got to summer training camp his freshman year, he was given UA boots. By the end of the first week, he couldn’t run due to plantar fascia and Achilles pain. At first the trainers blamed him and his fitness (no way – he showed up to camp…[Read more]

The problem isn’t Utah’s NIL placement below the Big 10 and SEC, it’s their placement in the Big 12. Utah is middle of the road at best when it comes to the NIL in their own conference and why they are not equipped to compete long-term with the top-half in this new landscape. The money and resources just aren’t there. They are a rung below the…[Read more]

I think a lot of this is based on the active sports. Nothing more. I personally used to love UA shirts but they have changed their fit in the past 5-6 years and I do not care for them anymore. They are way to tappered and tight for my taste and waste. As for their shoes, my son made me buy him a pair of cleats back around 2009ish and the sole…[Read more]

Speaking of merch, one thing I think we underestimate is how much the Under Armour deal is holding Utah back.
1. UA’s graphics and design are inferior to other brands, plus the prices are generally 15-20% higher than the others. I think this hurts when it comes to getting the Utah brand out on the streets.
2. The UA brand has less street cred than…[Read more]
