    Whatcha talking about? Utah is the bestest and the most talentful and will wipe the Big 12 like a bidet. We will win by an average of 21 points because we have Cam and Ludwig and Whitt! 😉

    Ok, ok. I think we will be competitive. I think for any conference champion, you have to have a mix of obviously 1st team talent, 2nd team depth, few injuries…[Read more]

  • I’ve been baffled by some of the numbers being thrown out or ‘promises’ of NIL, but what do athletes ACTUALLY make? I really don’t think Rising makes $1M. I think the valuations thrown out there are market potential, boosted by agents. But what the athlete actually receives is much less as deals are or aren’t made once they are on site. I tried to…[Read more]

  • As much as I wanted it to be PI, seems like he launches up to play the ball, then puts a hand on his shoulder, but doesn’t really keep Texas guy from elevating. But that’s just me. He got UP and swatted that away – not sure the receiver had the hops to get there on that fade. Wish it wasn’t a fade. Hate them, but it was the right WR for the play.

  • Time mgmt – Texas called timeouts and then UW had an injured player that stopped the clock at 0:50. Punt – 45s to go 69 yds. Big pass play, 30s to go 28. Eventually 15s to get 12 yds and TD. Crazy ending

  • No, I don’t think so. I think it’s mostly the ACC uncertainty and Whit’s opinion that we will be heading to super-conferences sooner rather than later. I think another time he said it could be 5 years, but as fast as a few years depending on how the dominoes fall with the ACC GOR and schools exiting (FSU lawsuit is followed by 6 other schools…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Ghost & OnlyU in the forum Football 10 months ago

    Well, that’s a hot take (‘he’s been ok’ – just #9 PFF ranked TE in the NFL as a rookie). But I get the sentiment, just think it’s a little too far. We have long emphasized 11 and 12 packages, but only more recently have passed to/featured TEs more (Ludwig). Fans usually only notice them when they are star receivers, but they play an important role…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Recruiting Strategy in the forum Football 10 months ago

    The school doesn’t negotiate the NIL deal. They connect them with folks like the Collective and they do know and understand what the offer may work out to be, but it’s more where agents and collectives/endorsers come in. I think that could also be quite fluid and maybe stuff like, ‘NIL up to …’ But then others could come in (someone wants a…[Read more]

  • ah nice – I went there for grad school. Re-reading your other post, you ARE in grad school (not past like me). Makes sense. Have fun and hook ’em.

  • Tony you’re the cutest! This is awesome!

  • DataUte replied to the topic Positive Ramblings in the forum Football 10 months ago

    I think we might have got the WR and S through the portal or signing today. I think we probably are good at Safety for 2-deep (Ritchie, Hall, Allen with Tao and Snowden at NB), but good to have additional depth. We signed a bunch of DBs (8-9?). Always hard to tell with FR WR, but 2 borderline 4* is a good sign.

  • DataUte replied to the topic Signing Day in the forum Football 10 months ago

    Currently, we sit at 53 (247) or 57 (rivals) in overall rankings.

    We sit higher when avg rating is used (around 30). Does seems a little lower than years past, but we could get a bump if we get some uncommitted targets or a few more transfers based on lingering needs. Solid year. I have to remind myself that the transfers will be more impactful…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Signing Day in the forum Football 10 months ago

    Yes, depending on the rating service. Rivals says 4 4-stars. 247 has 2 (the WR’s are 89, 86 with Hunter and Kash at 88 so just below 4-star [>90]).

  • We did make an offer to that Raiola guy that was UGA flipped to Neb. But probably everyone did 😉

    Hunter got Dec offers from Texas and TAMU and he is from TX, so good to keep him.

  • I think so. I think transfer/portal guys are coming in more experienced and are different enough to list separate than HS commits.

  • DataUte replied to the topic Signing Day in the forum Football 10 months ago

    Verbal Commits to go:
    – Zacharyus Williams (WR)
    – Jeilani Davis (S)

    Offers with no commitment yet that we are still in the running for:
    – Lamar Radcliffe (RB, CA): 6-2/225, 3-star (87) –> 247 has Utah as the favorite
    – Kinilau Fonohema (Edge, UT): 6-5/220, 3-star (87) –> BYU, Utah, Ore St., Wash St., now projecting BYU (60% confidence)
    -…[Read more]

  • DataUte replied to the topic Williams in the forum Football 10 months ago

    fax machines are hard to find 😉 I kid.

  • You have JHD on both lists. I don’t know how that works (he does show up on signing day) but he’s probably better classified as a Transfer rather than a FR.

    Does anyone know if any of the signees are mission kids (so wouldn’t expect to see them next year)?

  • And if we need a backup RB for injuries …
