Atuaia is recruiting RB like he is still at Wazzu. In fact, he recruited Green when he was at Wazzu.

Have to level up. Green hasn’t shown anything to warrant a spot on our roster.

Our RB room still has a ways to go.

Sending southern teams to play in 15-20 degree weather is a huge advantage for the home team.

This smacks of truth.

Utah pushed above its weight for years and now is going to have to learn to succeed within the new rules. It does not look like an easy path.

The courts ruled that the previous NIL restrictions were illegal. It is simple. There was no plan just the courts making a ruling.

That is why it looks like chaos.

Bellyache and bitch if it makes you feel better or rail against the judicial system.

I’m not so confident this was a 100% money decision. Since he committed, we got worse (remember that class we got literally every recruit we competed with BYU for and had our highest rated class ever), and BYU has pulled over Jay Hill. Still could’ve been a money thing but this isn’t the most surprising thing to happen after this past season.

Seriously doubt that is the issue! I just think because he’s Mormon and just came off an LDS mission he probably had a lot of little birdies, especially from BYU, strongly persuading him to go to BYU before he even sets foot back home. Doggy dogg world out there, whether its a religious school or not, practicing ethics is a foregone conclusion.

In Utah’s system Clegg is two years away at least. He needs the mission rust gone and need to add bulk.

Guarantee he gets reps in Provo next season. He will never be all Big12 in Provo. They don’t develop players

Yeah this isn’t an NIL thing. It’s the typical RM having a spiritual awakening and wanting the USSR experience of Provo.

Yup. They’re a bit different since they run a 3-4 and having bigger DE’s is a must in that system, but no reason why we can’t have big DE’s. Fillinger at 265 seems like the biggest DE we’ve had, and he was slow.

Agreed. I used to have fun with Byu fans that I worked with back in the MWC days. Not now.

I was somewhat excited to be back in the same conference when it was announced we were joining the XII. But that was just delusional me trying to be positive about things.

I can’t stand being in the same conference as them now. For too many reasons to…[Read more]

This is so fucked.

Maybe he’s a speed rush guy? I know what you mean, though. Last year when Oregon came to SLC their DE’s were 280+ and fast. I was jealous.

Williams’ X changed from Utah football affiliation to Colorado late this morning.

Normal portal stuff, but Deion’s a problem. How do we get the Dallas Cowboys to hire him away?

What is with us and always getting the small DE/EDGE players. 224 is incredibly light for a DE.

The NCAA really screwed this up (shocker). An athlete should sign with the NCAA to act as their manager and agent. They can facilitate NIL deals once a player has signed with a team. There will still be back channel tampering but that’s never going to stop.

I’m still in favor of a 16-team playoff but I don’t expect the first round to be all barn burners. they are the chance for upsets and Cinderellas but they will always tilt toward the big teams. I think what we see this year also has to be filtered through the chaos and uncertainty of portal and NIL. I think the playoffs will stabilize and the…[Read more]

It’s only proof that in those specific circumstances, one team scored more than the other. It’s a single data point and the outcome is no more predictive than if I flipped a quarter, it came up heads, and I proclaimed to the world that it was proof that every time a quarter was flipped heads would be the result.

Did the “better” teams win? Or…[Read more]

There is some talk that every available resource(NIL)is being thrown at football to make the program and university more attractive to the BIG10 when there is another round of expansion.

Football drives the college athletic world. It makes all the money it gets all the attention and it’s what will get Utah in too the P2

Meanwhile Basketball h…[Read more]
