Graduate transfer, yes. And, as we’ve seen in basketball, D. Smith and others are playing as court cases challenge this. I frankly thing they shouldn’t get even 1 free transfer without coach/family health/extenuating circumstance reasons, but oh well.

Someone like Malachi could get a Comms degree (like JJ) in a shorter time, so could play 2…[Read more]

Simply put, he is not going to sit another year. Sounds like USC saw what they had and he wasn’t that good, sitting at 3 behind Miller. For him it is clear: Playing Time >> $$$ (Miami). I kind of admire that. Shuns the current mercenary environment.

Bryson will be a Senior, 21, and married at 19. Maybe staying relatively close to home but getting a different opportunity/experience (even if he has to fight even to be the backup) will be good. Doesn’t seem like he has the tools to play at the next level, so maybe a different system is good just to get exposure. Not sure if he wants to get into…[Read more]

I heard UM reached out with a $1M NIL offer 😉 jk

I think more then depth. He likely will start. He did so for Stanford and was honorable mention PAC12. He’s coming to Utah to get our top-notch development at these positions and polish off his resume to get drafted.

Feeling a whole lot better about the DB room. Seemed like that was a weak spot with NFL, transfers, etc. Now it is really solid with strength at the top and depth to deal with any injuries.

Am I mis-remembering that Elliss wasn’t even going to be a starter? Injuries put him in there and he took advantage and turned into an AA. Amazing. You never know which DE all of a sudden pops into national awards.

If only the dang schedule would come out!

See ya Sep 14th

Or taking a sick week and ‘starting’ classes late (depends if he’s registered or not) … do those that enter the portal have to get approval from the leadership council to be allowed to return?

So, we’ll see him Sep 14th … time to bolster the sack stats

Looks to me like Utah is also coming in at 13. 🙂

Go UTES!

I think going to a bowl (non-CFP, even some NY6, which will become CFP, so problem solved there) just gives extra practice time which is good. Used to be a reward and players were excited about it. Now it’s just opt-out city. Sometimes it’s even hard to field a team. Most of the early ones are G5 v G5, so almost like a different division (which is…[Read more]

LB Medlock did end up at SMU however.

CB JaTravis Broughton McCloud (not sure the reason, but probably a mom/dad thing?) projected to go to TCU.

Maybe he has a former teammate or friend there? Or a coach from the past? I would hope – going cold to a new team could be tough and there was some talk he wanted to be closer to home. I mean, he will be a little closer and a little warmer, but :shrug:

Speaking of Dorian – should we offer him?

You do know our team has Keba Keita, Deivon Smith, and Exacte (if he gets back on the court) that are all solid contributors, right? Then 2 7-footers and add in Madsen and Worster. If anything, this game was an indication we need to get better as using our size advantage, esp. against a team that starts 4 guards. They got hot and busted the zone…[Read more]

Only thumbs down because although he could help the WR room, after TJ and AL and too many 2nd chances for Tavion creating all sorts of chaos, not sure if we really would want Bridges around.

Screw Hurley!

See, I think about it opposite – they keep most of the deals secret because they aren’t really as much as they say they are (or ignore that it’s taxed, etc.) to keep driving ‘prices’ up. More of a pride thing and to keep the market inflated.

Maybe boosters are paying these as NIL for little in return. I think they were paying (maybe not this…[Read more]
