What’s 5 positives you can think of for 2025? I realize so much can change with what Whitt decides, the portal impact, etc. Just curious what everyone else is grasping onto currently cause I need some good vibes for Utah football reeeeally bad. 😎 ☀️

[Onlyu]

Really hard to say based on what might transpire this offseason. Does Whitt stick around? Who is the OC? Who are the portal additions and subtractions, etc. Rebuild/Reset?

All I’m certain of today is that the Offensive line should be really, really good provided they all return.

TE’s will be good.

Defense should also be really good with the youth and experience coming back.

Too many unknowns to say anything about the rest as it stands today.

In the NIL world we now live in, not a single person can definitely answer this question for any team lmao

[Anfernee]

I realize that. The slow bleed out of this season is excruciating and so I was just curious what people would say.

The good thing is that the lion’s share of Utah’s current NIL will be freed by the subtraction of Rising and Kuithe. For example, Rising made $1M in 2023 and something similar this season (he had the potential to make over $1.5M had he stayed healthy). Kuithe’s NIL this season was $421K. I found both of these figures just doing a cursory internet search. Both of those amounts aren’t chump change and should attract top prospects (but will they be the right ones?).

That’s crazy to think that TSPP is floating $3M+ for a basketball player and Cam was $1.5M

What a world….

It’s not my money, but I think it’s a massive mistake to give that kind of cash to an 18 year old freshman. I mean, how many times have we seen 5 star recruits in both football and basketball do absolutely nothing in their first year in college? It happens like clockwork. It would be funny as s**t if this dude goes to BYU and then zilch…betcha if that happens BYU’s NIL strategy gets a complete refresh.

I thought Cam was closer to 2 million but I don’t have any facts to back it up. 

[The Miami Ute]

Whatever the case Tony, that’s crazy money for a guy that hardly played. Think of what Utah could have done with that cash if they would have moved on from him after the 2023 Rose Bowl.

Maybe we give two qbs 500k+ ? We’re down to our fifth string two years in a row.
