Yeah. This speaks as equally to the state of things with Utah football as it does the actual talent. You can be “wait and see” with the talent, which is a perfectly viable view but losing the number one designated WR (and another WR with Washington the same day) should throw up some concerns and red flags about Utah’s standing in the NIL era.

Point is probably moot, but if you care to go watch him in the UCF game.

I don’t put all my stock in stats, good or bad. I put little to no stock in what Whitt says. I put a lot more on what I see.

This is a money move and P2 has the money. Don’t be surprised if he goes P2, which should be, to a degree, a validation of his talent and potential.

Nobody is attacking anyone. These players get paid, which makes them professionals, and in my book, open to scrutiny. This young man in particular has baggage that he himself created and for right or wrong, is on display for the world to see. We, as a fan base, are certainly within bounds to discuss those issues, just as the producers of the…[Read more]

Agree he’s a loss if it’s your 3rd or maybe 2nd talented player in the WR rotation. I have a hard time endorsing ZW as a top level play maker loss based on a breakout game against UCF and 15 days of Spring football. I was somewhat surprised ZW, per KW, emerged as the #1 WR considering WR was a top portal priority.

For all those who are (rightly) fed up with NIL, the portal, and all the outside money ruining college sports, can I make a suggestion?

Start following one or more of the Olympic sports.

1. No NIL money, just scholarships. The way it used to be in football/basketball.
2. There’s a portal, but it’s being used for the right reasons. Not just to…[Read more]

I think that there is a common misperception that the Jazz have more money to spend because Smith is a billionaire. They don’t. They still have the same salary limitations they’ve always have had. He can’t pay Jazz players more than the cap and he certainly doesn’t take it out of his own pocket. His families donations to BYU have no impact on the…[Read more]

Agree and disagree. Injury is always a huge factor, especially to starters. But ESPECIALLY for QB1 with Ludwig. QB2 was never prepared. There will always be a dropoff and QB2 getting up to speed, but with Ludwig’s ‘complicated’ system (Rose still hadn’t picked it up in 2 years?!), they had to go so vanilla, it was easy to defend. So, yes, it…[Read more]

I don’t really watch college sports beyond Utah. So most of the time it is me seeing highlights in social media or something.
I think that is the normal for most fans. I will watch games while waiting for Utah to come on and then maybe watch highlights to discuss things with my family or friends.
It certainly is what it is. I don’t see it get…[Read more]

Not sure I get the indifference reaction. You want the best players on your team to stay on your team. To each their own I guess. Does anyone really think he was only going to bring 10 catches and a hundred yards to the table this season? Everyone isn’t productive until they are. He was clearly talented and just needs an opportunity to showcase t…[Read more]

And honestly, the only power we fans gave is to stop watching and engaging. I, for one, refuse to watch a Big-10 or SEC game. They are destroying sport, so I won’t watch them. Unfortunately, too many big12 or acc or other conference fans will watch.

I won’t blame any of you one bit if you abandoned college sports. You make excellent points…[Read more]

I’ll just say this: college football has the right to go in whatever direction they want to. College football players have the right to chase NIL $$. The courts have the right to strike down any attempt to regulate the transfer portal or NIL earnings. ESPN has the right to control the playoff structure and conference makeup.

I, as a long…[Read more]

Absolutely every husky all at once?

Who were we passing to?

Screw it. I am close to just giving up on college sports. It is so messed up. I hate what has happened with the NIL and portal. I need to separate myself from this mess. I was a Ute fan during the 1-10 seasons of the 1970s and enjoyed it. But, this crap is out of hand.

I have never been a casual Ute fan, but this may be what I will be…[Read more]

It’s a loss. Watching the UCF game, the one game ZW started in 2024 and largely what his stats were based on, you saw the talent.

You can argue we don’t use WR. You can argue we struggle to field QBs who throw vertically. You can argue Whitt speak and practice don’t mean much of anything. But you can’t argue the talent that you saw and losing…[Read more]

Good point RU. If Utah’s #1 WR going into next season compiles a whopping 10 catches for 101 yards in two games last season, 70% of the production against an unmotivated 4-8 UCF team. WR recruiting and utilization is an inherent program problem that has not changed and never will under KW’s leadership. This is really nothing new.

The NCAA had every opportunity to fix things before all of this happened. Case after case after case in court slowly leading to this mess, and they did NOTHING. If the NCAA hadn’t been so damn greedy we wouldn’t be in this position.

Quick clarification, Mosley is a class of 2026 recruit from Pittsburg, CA not a transfer from Pitt that can immediatley fill void of WRs that just hit the portal.

Some very detailed analogies. I’m not going to take college athletics quite so seriously to have the take that people are going to hell for the (rumored) possibility that another program may be interested in some Utah players. I would bet there are a lot of schools that are interested in some of Utahs players and the players themselves would be f…[Read more]

Don’t be silly. Everyone wants to have an effective passing attack, and when we had such a passing attack we won the P12 sending to the Rose Bowl- twice. Or perhaps you forgot about that.

As I remember, those teams caught forward passes. But don’t let anything get in your way of a false narrative.
