That’s even less of a reason to get beat deep

follow up:

Cal didn’t take any receivers in their class of 14 (12 signed).

MSU took 2 receivers. One who had been committed since January, the other had been committed since June. And they have a third who has been committed since July but hasn’t signed yet. All 3 were offered long before Baker.

UCLA also didn’t take any receivers in their…[Read more]

Do I know if his offer to those schools was committable? No. Do you?

I haven’t looked at his page, I’m just talking in general.

So he committed on Wednesday, the same day Beck was hired, but didn’t sign yet?

You extend an offer but tell the kid it’s contingent on someone else choosing a different school. The kid is more than willing to put the offer on his instametatiktokchat because it brings him attention and will hopefully get other schools interested when they do no more than @Anfernee did and look at the offer list.

As I said above, if you were…[Read more]

You don’t think he can Tuttle himself to a couple degrees and maybe a championship ring?

It’s the timing. You have to do some serious pretzel logic to get yourself to him choosing Utah over the other schools you listed AFTER the early signing period has ended. Without looking at his commitment history, it’s more plausible that he received those offers but was plan B, C or D for those schools and when they filled their HS needs he…[Read more]

or those other offers weren’t committable

Couples that share common interests tend to have more successful marriages

I’m sure Vanderbilt fans will love Dampier once he signs with them to replace Pavia

I feel like your certainty that Beck will cure all that ails Utah deserves an @Caliman level guarantee to really sell it

stop right where you are and slowly back away from the dark side! @Utah hasn’t been able to recover yet from getting too near my orbit and I’m afraid @TheMiamiUte is lost for good.

let’s see, Wilson goes to portal and Rising decides to pick up his checks elsewhere and the Andy Ludwig stink will be completely gone from the team. Beck can build out his whole room based on his philosophy and not someone else’s. That’s actually a pretty good way to start a new job, even if you are limited in how you do it by your boss. Which…[Read more]

and is there a more QB name than Gunner?

I can’t think of another conference in my lifetime where EVERY prediction was wrong. Maybe one or two teams is a surprise, but a whole conference?

I won’t believe anyone’s prediction for 2025, even my own, until I see it play out of the field.

Would you have Penn State as anything worse than a 3 point dog at home against any of the other teams expected to be in the playoff? All those good weather teams from the SEC/ACC? Heck, if Penn State wins today Oregon would be #5 and ASU shouldn’t be scared of playing in Eugene.

I’m just saying that ASU’s confidence has to be sky high right…[Read more]

That took a turn. You make it sound like Wilson was just sitting in the corner of the locker room minding his own business and reading his playbook when all of a sudden the whole season was thrown on his shoulders before he was ready and he didn’t want any part of it.

If there were negotiations and/or promises made to get him to come to Utah, he…[Read more]

Dillingham has something good going in Tempe. Any team playing with nothing to lose can do well in the playoff and he’s playing with house money at this point. It’ll be interesting to see if that win was big enough to get them a bye because then all bets are off.
