Holladay Ute replied to the topic Known Transfer Portal offers in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’m confused by the 247 RB rankings. They have Eli Sanders at #10 and Jaylon Glover at #11. Is Sanders undervalued or is Glover overvalued? I sure hope it’s the latter (or we might be in trouble)!
Anyway, we need the Washington State RB. According to On3, he’s visiting Arizona, Utah, UCLA, and USC. I feel pretty good about our odds based on…[Read more]

Uteanooga started the topic Success will come from reallocating $ away from coaches and towards players in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Players matter more than coaches. Any one who has done any coaching at any level understands that the best way to look smart as the coach is to have the best players.
Suppose two college football teams spend 15m each. One team spends 10m on coaching- say 5 or 6m to the head coach and 4-5 to assistants while spending 5m on players. The other team…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic Did Bronco want Beck? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Honestly…I think this is more a Scalley hire than a Whitt hire. And that is a good thing. Whitt has always gone for a big name at OC, someone, in Whitt’s mind, to take care of the offense while he takes care of the defense.
Dennis Erickson, Norm Chow, Christensen was a hot name from Missouri, Troy Taylor and his iPhone offense.
Beck is a…[Read more]

Bronco wanted him and knew at that point he was going to USU (were working out details), but Utah made a much larger offer. It was a no brainer.

The changes to college sports were not driven by big $$$. Big $$$ has been involved for a long time.
The changes were immediately driven by the courts recognizing that the previous rules were illegal. This was not an attempt to improve sports. It was a judicial ruling that recognized college sports were built on an unenforceable and illegal premise.

Holladay Ute replied to the topic Did Bronco want Beck? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’d be surprised if Bronco didn’t want to keep Beck. They had a very successful offense and Bronco didn’t change conferences. So if it worked at UNM, it’s highly probably that it would’ve worked at USU too. They mostly lost games b/c of their defense. And, who could Bronco have gotten at USU that’s better than Beck? Beck was the best that…[Read more]

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Did Bronco want Beck? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Considering how we complain about the lack of transparency on the hill I am always amazed how people know things “clearly”.
I don’t think it is clear at all what took place over the last month or so.
Truth be told I don’t know a thing about the Lobos season until I looked it over. Everyone told me Bronco was doing ok. I would disagree with th…[Read more] -

Maybe my memory of former Cam is tainted by recent Cam, but Rose looked just as good or better running than Cam ever did. At least, from an athletic perspective. Maybe not on the option reads.

Stone replied to the topic THINK ABOUT THIS …. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Tampering? I am sorry, but the semblance of any structure or rules to transfers and NIL is nearly nonexistent. It is naive to think there is any real boundary at this point. The NCAA has no control over it. Players and teams can talk to whomever they want whenever they want.
If a kid goes to another school, it is going to happen. Who cares when…[Read more]

Would it be better? Yes. Critical thinking? Maybe.
Thanks for the TP info. Very insightful.

I don’t have an issue with you or anyone else that actually attempted to answer the question. My issue is that people often downvote but then don’t bother to contribute to the discussion.
I bring it up as a way to encourage more participation in the discussion.

RedRocks replied to the topic Transfer Portal rumors and so what? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
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]

Roy Rangum started the topic Did Bronco want Beck? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
While Beck clearly wasn’t our first choice, I’ve been thinking recently about why it is Beck would come to us. The fact that he’s reportedly friends with Scalley and clearly has ties to Utah are certainly big draws. Going from New Mexico to Utah is also a big jump up in program prestige and I’m sure he is grateful to be playing for a team with…[Read more]

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.
