Totally agree… he’s probably better at off going to some high profile FCS program like Montana or South Dakota State…you know, places where the atmosphere is much more slow paced and there’s less potential for malfeasance. If he produces there and stays out of trouble, the NFL will still find him.

Exactly…I thought the same thing and said so once I read that Bridges had been denied. I think that the administration took a long look at Bridges’ situation and decided that the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. It might have been different if Bridges had committed what’s colloquially known as a “victimless crime” like shoplifting but he…[Read more]

In all honesty, for pure physical talent, Smith is up there with Keita as the best player on the team. Hopefully, Smith decides to come back next year during his fifth Covid season.

I would have brought every single recruit to the Utah vs BYU game. That crowd was off the charts. By the way, the crowd last night eventually got to a decent size…I’d say in the neighborhood of 6-7K…much better than what it was just before tip off when I could almost count the number of people in the stands.

He can throw it down like nobody’s business. At times, he reminds me of Darryl Dawkins with his dunks. Mark my words, one of these days he’s going to bring one of those backboards crashing down.

Sometimes he looks like a man playing against boys. If he had a decent, consistent outside shot, he’d be gone after this season.

Here are some Utah guys that are missing:

– Luther Elliss
– Dave Costa (Four time x Pro Bowl selection at DT/DE)
– Bob Trumpy (Four time X Pro Bowl selection)
– Mac Speedie WR (Two time x Pro Bowl selection)

Yeap….and Fleming also won four Super Bowls in his career. Two with the Packers and two with the Dolphins. Before the advent of the Patriots’ tyranny with Tom Brady, he held the record for most Super Bowls won as a player. Fernandez was a beast with the “No-Name” defense. He probably should have won the MVP award for Super Bowl VII over Jake Scott.

Crazy that we’re still talking about a guy that was only in Utah for one semester plus…he couldn’t even win the starter’s job or get on the field consistently at Indiana, and that was even with Penix suffering season-ending injuries every season he was there. I will say that Tuttle is a very smart dude, book-wise, and is set for a civilian…[Read more]

Yeah, I guess you could add Latu to that list Latu to that list…but those Wisconsin teams he played in were pretty mediocre, going 14-12 during his two years there. He definitely got more playing time there but his stats were pretty ho-hum.

During my time following the Utes, the only player I’ve seen go to an arguably better situation after transferring or entering the portal is Nate Johnson going to Vanderbilt. And I say arguably because of Vandy’s academic reputation and it’s membership in the SEC. Everyone else has gone to lesser P4/5 programs, G5, or FCS.

Given their internal circumstances and the timing of Fish’s departure, this was the best hire possible for the Wildcats. It’s also interesting to hear that guys like Fifita and McMillan look poised to stay in Tucson, which, if true, will still make the Wildcats a dangerous team.

So, the only scholarship QBs currently, or soon to be in the program, are Rising, Rose and Wilson? I guess you can also count Steve Smedley in a pinch, but he’s a walk-on. What about Luke Bottari? I thought he had some eligibility left.

He looked horrible when he played us with ASU. He was 5 for 22 for 41 yards and 1 INT. I would question whether he’s a legitimate FBS QB.

Eagle, in my view, that was a bad move on his part. I find it doubtful that he’s going to beat out Cooper Legas and win the starting job.

!. Williams
2. Maye
3. Harrison
4. Daniels

That’s the likely draft order. If the Bears don’t pick Williams, they’ll trade the pick to a team that will. Next up is the Commanders, who need a QB, and so will select Maye. After that are the Cardinals, who need offensive weapons now that they’re keeping Murray and thus will select Harrison. Last…[Read more]

He’ll be the #1 pick, book it.

No worries brother. I just knew it because I watched every USC game and the announcers made a point to say how Singer’s production had dropped. I essentially lifted my comments from their commentary. Maybe it was a playbook issue or maybe Williams felt comfortable with the guys he had developed a relationship with or maybe the guys that USC…[Read more]

LOL…reminds of a military briefing I took part in about 15 years ago…the briefer kept referring to the Russians as the “Soviets.”
