Also I’ve heard minor talks of the possibility of flipping Puka. Would be nice….

If JD signs with ASU , how solid is Darren Jones commitment now ?

It seems a bit dicey. 247 has Oregon involved as well

kwhitt has done a good job in winning the south. You can check off the coaching box.
But that only covers half the job requirments of a head coach..the other half is recruiting. As of today kwhitt is not keeping up with the jones in the 2019 class.

Those old Crystal Ball projections can be wildly innacurate. The Oregon one that is listed, is from about 6 months ago. Doesn’t mean he will be a Ute, I don’t think looking at that Crystal Ball for him should tell you much though.
Jayden will go where he feels most comfortable, is what it is. I am still p**sed that Utah didn’t get Josh Portis in 2005. He was a big recruit at the time, didn’t end up panning out after transferring multiple times. Utah is in good hands, with or without JD. They need depth, the sky is FAR from falling though regarding recruiting.

Utes need a constant influx of fast twitch HS athletes to get to the next level.

TednabParticipant
Thanks , i know their approach in recruiting has changed , and seems to be working. I try not to get caught up in stars and ranking .. but sitting currently dead last in conference isn’t a selling point.
-
CrazyforuParticipant
You are correct, being last isn’t a good look, a lot of that is due to their approach that you mentioned. Also, have to remember that they will have as smaller class this year. Puka will be an interesting one to watch, have to believe he stays with SC, he feels good at Utah too though.

You don’t read so good do you?

StoneParticipant
Frankly, so long as the results on the field are good, the recruiting rankings are meaningless. I recognize that they often correspond, but ultimately Whitt’s job is to win games, not recruiting championships.
Considering all the crow you should be eating this year for your constant beating of the “fire Whitt” drum (and the fact that Utah won the south division and is in the Holiday Bowl), I somewhat expected you to take a break from the persistent negativity, but no good deed goes unpunished.

Pace hates Whitt. Once you understand that you understand his posts.

It is because “he doesn’t know football” – @palos-verdes-ute

EagleMountainUteParticipant
Don’t ask him.

palos_verdes_uteParticipant
does he know football?
-
EagleMountainUteParticipant
We both know it is a no.

Darren Jones has a nice little nod to Utah at the end of his senior highlight tape that was posted just 3 days ago. Not sure how much it’s worth reading into, but it’s a bit reassuring:

Have fun at ASU, Jayden. Puka flipping would be a tremendous get.
-
stonguseParticipant
He can compete for the job instantly at ASU or step into the same situation Jack was in as 3rd string for at least a year. Not feeling great about this one.
-
EagleMountainUteParticipant
Or he waits for Huntley to get injured and has to just beat out Shelley who had a rough CCG.

RiseasUtesParticipant
Sadly I think ASU has this one.

Utahute72Participant
It will be interesting to see what happens to their two committed QBs if this does happen.
-
CrazyforuParticipant
Totally agree. Seems really odd to bring in 3 high end QB recruits, and have them all be good with it. Will be a fascinating one to watch going into next year, depending on how many of them stick with ASU. I believe they had a couple freshman on their team this year too that were supposed to be pretty good.

Unless he’s going full Frank Kush.

It amazes me that these spindly 170-175lb QBs come in expecting to start from Day One. They get killed
-
EagleMountainUteParticipant
QB health isn’t exactly a strong point at Utah either. Which I am not trying to insult Huntley with my above post it is just what has happened, it is possible to happen again.
-
palos_verdes_uteParticipant
yeah, you are so right about that. I’ve talked about Jayden’s weight problem in the past. He needs to bulk up. I don’t think the kid contributes for another year or 2….regardless who he signs with.
