I’m waiting for it to happen also. Lander Barton was a 5-star On3, but was 4-star on Rivals, 247, and ESPN. Close, but I’d love a consensus 5-star where all the recruiting services rate him a 5-star. I think it will happen some day.

I think Fano might get a bump, but probably not to 5-star. Regardless, Utah’s OLine recruiting this time is one of…[Read more]

This. They’ll use it as an excuse for taking last place in the XII the next few years.

You can see it now:

Low IQ Zoob: “I’d rather be last place in a REAL conference than the two-time champions of a G6 like the Pac-12”.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve always hated TCU and I can’t root for them tonight. While it is difficult to root for a SEC team, I’m going to do it – I have to give credit to Georgia – tough team that has passed Alabama for this season and last year – they deserve a lot of credit for their success. Besides, I’m sick of my BYU friends telling me how…[Read more]

I voted “Very Satisfied”. At the start of the season, I predicted four losses, with a non-New Year’s bowl, such as the Holiday Bowl. So, the Rose Bowl exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I did not expect another conference championship, and I was ecstatic with another PAC-12 championship.

I expected the team to be hurt by losing Covey on…[Read more]

I broke my nose once playing basketball in 8th grade. Every time I am put in a similar situation on defense my mind goes back to that moment. It didn’t hurt, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it’s forever stuck in my mind.

I played soccer in my youth – about 40 years ago. I got a hard kick by the ball in my face – it knocked me on the groun…[Read more]

Update:

On Micah Bernard entering the portal… Sources close to Micah have told me:

-He wants to be THE guy, but it’s a stacked room.

ADDITIONALLY

-I’m also told Tavion Thomas put such a dark cloud over the room that it really impacted Bernard negatively and put him in a dark space.

I think CPIII opting out affected the defense more than we think. Utah played a lot more zone than I expected in the game, and I wonder if that was because of CPIII being out. Clifford shredded the defense in zone coverage, as good, experienced QBs often do.

My feelings exactly. Last year I honestly expected tOSU to blow us out by 24 points or more. The fact that it went down to the last seconds of the game was a pleasant surprise and the sting of losing wasn’t too bad.

This year I expected the Utes to win. Especially when there were reports of “it just feels different this year” and reports of the…[Read more]

Who is CBanon?

there are Ute uniforms I have loved and others I just don’t like

I don’t like Utah’s Ohio State -looking uniforms with the Red/Gray combo. But, if the players like them and are excited by them, that is all that matters. Most other combos I like a lot – especially the all Red – just love the Red color – especially with the shiny helmets.

I watched about 1/4 of this game. BYU lacks speed and athleticism. They will struggle a lot in the Big-12.

Their uniforms looked terrible. Black only looks good when the other color is bright and offsets the black a lot – like Red/Orange/Light Green/Yellow, etc. Blue/Dark Purple, etc. look terrible in Black – just my opinion.

Dont forget Kyle has a vestigial tail. That’s it. That’s why Utah is recruiting so well.

What’s cool is it seems he has a bump in his 247 rating. Seems it was lower, but I can’t remember what it was. Now it’s 93 247, and 0.9059 composite.

Higher rated than Snowden.

Also, Utah’s rating is now 3rd in the Pac-12, and tied with UCLA for 3rd in average recruit ranking.
