recruiting high school now is just getting your name on the list for when they transfer.

I had several professors that wrote the pre-eminent textbook in their field and they all confirmed they got pittance (like $1-2/book). Not bad if there is volume, but the publisher gets most of the money in the racket. For a $150-$200 book. But that was 20 years ago and not sure how the digital age works with all of that. I’m sure the professors…[Read more]

Some to watch for
Mikey matthews
JJ
Nate Johnson

Didn’t we have a senior lineman transfer to usc and go pro a few years ago?

I have not heard anything about Chase Kennedy this Spring. Was hoping to hear good things about his progression. Is he hurt?

Also no comments about Van Filinger, either. I’m hoping he’s not injured as well.

Not a big fan of the name Yeti. That has as much tie to Utah as “Jazz”

Nothing really great here. Generic ideas but I like Rattlers, Bison, Raptors, Storm, Eagles, Wolves, Falcons, and Bombers better than Yeti.

Recycled Names: Gulls. Golden Eagles, Trappers.

The Golden Eagles is by far the best possible name for a Salt Lake NHL team.

I love the Golden Eagles as a kid. I made this shirt for them.

I hope we reach out. He’s a BALLER. If he could be the every down back with Bernard playing his role. Glover in for clean up. That would be awesome.

We need more help at LB, a legit back-up QB, and more depth in the secondary.

It will be interesting to see if we lose a few guys after the Spring Game. Seems like a few freshman bail every year…[Read more]

Of course there are several metrics: wins, development, recruiting, flashy/innovative offense/defense, culture. So, depending on many factors, hard to say who is ‘best’. So, is there anyone else that I would prefer over Whit AT Utah? Nope. Actual number doesn’t matter. Nice he continues to get recognition. Most coaches put him super high and do…[Read more]

Could you imagine him saying what he probably really thinks? I have a QB1 and the only reason we will have a QB2 is because we can’t have 3 QB3s, haha. He’d love to have 3, 4 deep that he’s confident in, but it’s like most schools, you probably have confidence in 1.75 QBs (hoping for 2.5 …). Sounds like Rose has great talent but isn’t as fast…[Read more]

Current urban has lost his OCD edge. The same reason he was good (at Utah, Florida, Ohio St.) was also what made him have health issues – he wants to control everything (which turns out good for team success). I think with some mellowing, and all this NIL mess, he wants no part in coaching – makes plenty from FOX with less stress.

It’s unwatchable.

The product is just bad. I don’t care who is playing. College basketball is terrible.

Free. I just want someone to enjoy them and support the team. Send me a PM with the email address I can forward them to and I’ll send them from the Utah Utes app.

I feel like he could’ve been a backup for a couple other teams for more than the league minimum. I know Philly was looking but then got Pinkett. I guess Ravens were ready to move along. I think Browns could pan out, but I don’t think he really has a shot at starting there so I’m mostly disappointed he had to sign for the league minimum. Backups…[Read more]

Because we are still new kid on the block. jk

I don’t get all the doom and gloom. Can’t win in Utah anymore? Come on. 18 wins ain’t nothing. Middle of the conference is not ‘bad’. Just in comparison with the glory days 20+ years ago. Coach K had 5 20 win seasons (2 NCAA inc. sweet 16, 3 NIT). Boylen had 1 20 win season (1 NCAA, 1 CBI qf), Giac had 29 wins with Majerus leftovers and NAA sweet…[Read more]

Big 12 basketball I would posit is deeper than SEC football. You could join the SEC and draw a favorable schedule. Or an absolutely miserable one. UGA’s schedule last year was a joke. I guess with the expanded league, you have a few more good teams, so there would just shift to 4 almost guaranteed losses from 2 with 2-3 50/50 (at this point in…[Read more]

My understanding it that players can ask the advisory committee for a grade (either first two rounds or stay in school) but if they go through the full draft process, they will lose their remaining college eligibility. From the NFL Football Operations website:

The NFL encourages most underclassmen to finish their college eligibility and earn a…

If it gets blown up it’s so they can get rid of the programs that can’t pull their own weight. Just like Oregon State and Wazzu. Bye Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern, Vandy, Kentucky, Arkansas…
