The situation is so fluid these days that I don’t know when to get excited. I’m glad Utah has Alex Jensen. I’m also glad he has his national connections. But uh, I don’t see recruiting as exciting as it used to be. The transfer portal is the better bet nowadays, in my opinion.

So you think we are going to over look our opponent on the last game of the season?
when we have all the film on them… and can see their record?? and we probably need to win this game to go to the conference championship in this scenario?z

wheres the trap my guy?

A trap game is when teams overlook and opponent, I feel like that will be the case for the KU game.

I dont think people know what a trap game is…

I am back to Utah-by-5, every game. So I guess that means 12-0.

15-0 with a 30-point win over BYU.

Yeap, same here. What compounds the issue is that even if he comes to Utah, there’s no guarantee that he stays beyond one season.

In the last decade, Texas has had 6 offensive linemen go in the NFL draft. Utah has had 7.

When you account for the ratings of incoming OL recruits, Utah has been somewhere between 3 and 10 times as effective at turning highly rated recruits into NFL players.

Plus Ojo has several friends from his hometown who play for Utah (Tilmon, Battle,…[Read more]

What I noticed in the spring game…. He is willing to make passes that our past QB’s were not willing to make. If you will, they are high risk, but high reward type of passes. When he hit them, they were beautiful. But when he missed, almost a guaranteed INT (except out D drops a few of them).

It’ll be interesting to see how it all shakes…[Read more]

Completely agree. Ou OL will be better, but when you factor in Big12 defenders, our wr group may be a worse situation for Dampier. We’ll see.

He’s got quite the offer list. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him crack the rotation sooner rather than later.

We’ve seen this story play out before. High rated prospect visits, gets lured away by a big NIL offer for one of the big bloods. It’s nice to have this type of talent visit, but until I see it playing at Utah, I just can’t get excited. I get that they obviously have visit before committing and taking the field.

A top 5 recruit doesn’t cancel an Oklahoma visit to use Utah as leverage.

Line coach proven to put guys in the league (we have more lineman drafted in the last ten years than Texas does, despite getting lower ranked recruits)

Potential for early playing time.

4 dudes on the team he played ball with growing up.

Potential for road games in…[Read more]

You bring up a lot of good points and are probably right on all accounts. NIL drives so many of these guys decisions, but the irony is that the money that a true blue chip player is going to make on NIL is pennies compared to the second NFL contract. Rookie contract, life changing, second contract, generation changing. A mature kid with that…[Read more]

Harding is about to put two tackles in the first round of the draft after this season… Early playing time, proven coach, ‘decent’ NIL is getting us a visit. He cancelled an OV to Oklahoma to come to Utah this weekend

I don’t mean to be low self esteem sports guy, but what’s the Utah draw for this guy again? So far what I know is that he is a Texan with no Utah ties, blue chipper who has his pick of any national championship containing program and can probably all but write his own NIL check 🤔. I guess I should be flattered that we can give the kid more lev…[Read more]
