AZUTE

Don’t know. He set a commitment date twice and has since postponed it twice.

I don’t think it has anything to do with other teams coming in late with huge NIL deals. Utah will match anyway
He’s a must have recruit

Kids could postpone for a million different reasons.

I haven’t heard any info that would make me think he isn’t gonna be a Ute.…[Read more]

If he comes in the spring at a good weight he will start as a true freshman in 26. He’s more athletic than Fano and if can put in 6 months of work under Harding before the fist game in 2026 he will be the starting LT

Doesn’t matter he’ll be hurt by the time byu plays Utah. Great player can’t stay healthy

Everyone take a deep breath. It will be OK. I promise

California Nevada Arizona and Idaho all have large alumni groups. There are pockets in Texas and Florida due to recruiting

Yes. Utah offered him a very good NIL deal. Which is why most recruiting experts felt it was down to Utah and Texas for him.

Texas Tech is the BYU of college football. They have new money funding their NIL and are willing to significantly overpay to get top players.

This isn’t over yet. Texas may counter if they get desperate enough.

Canadian taxes are brutal but he should be ok.

He’s entering his prime and is basically a double double every night.

Utah is not poor.

There are middle to upper middle class. Plus they don’t flaunt it.
They are not overpaying like BYU to get players. BYU will not get the return on investment.

Utah puts value limits on certain players and positions.

They also don’t play “the game.” An example are the Pula twins. They want to be Utes but their agent/h…[Read more]

From the Horses mouth.

“We are going to focus less and less on kids from HS and fill our immediate needs with players from the portal”. “High School players with fill depth gaps.”

I thought we got rid of Caliman??

This board is overrun with trolls. I guess cause it’s free.

The only thing that has me concerned is QB and DL depth.

If Dampier goes down it’s gonna be year three of offensive struggles.

Same thing if any of the 4 man rotation at DL get hurt. Everything in Whit’s D plays off the DTs eating up blocks and letting LBs make plays. IF the interior DL suffers a bunch or injuries it will be a long season of…[Read more]

Ryder is LDS and the Lyons name has a long history at BYU. They should be the favorites to sign him at a discounted NIL rate but they are not.

They are still overpaying to sign a LDS legacy kid because the optics of losing him to USC or Oregon just doesn’t look good in the churches eyes.

They are not winning.

They are paying considerably m…[Read more]

Does he get a ring??? Don’t you have to be on the playoff roster??

Utah is doing very very well with Ojo.
The Utes can’t match Texas for NIL but Utah has put more Oline in the NFL over the last decade than Texas has not including Fano and Loni who are both projected 1st rounders in the 26 NFL draft

Harding is an elite OL Coach and recruiter and Utah is lucky to have him.

A lot of positives at Utah for Ojo t…[Read more]

Tuesday is NOT going to sting at all. Kid is at least 3 seasons away from the BYU football field and a lot can change in that time. BYU has had many top ranked QBs that busted and fell flat on their faces. BYU doesn’t develop QBs.

Utah doesn’t even pay attention to what byu is doing I suggest you do the same.

I say let them have the hype. It…[Read more]

WTF are you talking about????
When I said urban I meant the city of phoenix has gone a long way towards revitalizing and reinvigorating that area. New modern apartments and architecture. It’s become very hip and modern.

lol! The “Arizona exit” is a truth. Also Arizona freeways are littered with debris. I’ve seen couches ladders logs car fenders chairs sinks suitcases full of clothes mattresses cinderblocks hoses and many many other items on Arizona freeways.

Nothing like watching someone doing 80 mph and fly across four lanes of traffic to make their exit.…[Read more]

But not below(south)of Glendale Ave.

Not what I’d call a family area.

If you were a young urban adult yes but not if you’re looking for family friendly areas.

If you want to be centralized go a little farther north to Desert Ridge area. Top of Interstate 51 and North 101. Newer homes less than 10 years a lot to do. North Scottsdale, Des…[Read more]

Gilbert is Provo south but most of the east valley is.

Heavy LDS presence

There is an east side vs. west side mentality here. I’ve spent 25 years in the east valley. That is Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, and Mesa.

I’m sure the west side has some very good areas but I have no need to go over there so I can give you any advise to those cities.

The east side is growing so rapidly the infrastructure can’t keep pace espec…[Read more]
