Something is going on with him. Not sure if it is lack of speed, or rust, or motivation, or scheme or something else but he has not been
the player he was last year before his injury.

Now that the two paid sites have essentially shut off all camp content, OnlyU is our OnlyEye into our favorite football team. At some point, this “wall of silence” is going to come back to bite Coach Whitt/Scalley and the paid sites in the butt.

With a good year or two we can break the stigma that surrounds wide receivers and how they are utilized at Utah. Unfortunately, the narrative that we are part of a second-tier conference will not be overcome so easily.

Sure would like to hear OnlyU’s post spring perspective.

I don’t think he had a scholarship.

Utesby1 started the topic Spring game observations in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago

For those who were unable to attend or to watch the game, I decided to take some detailed comments and share them here. Some of these comments are more opinions than actual observations.

Rose missed some easy throws. It is true that he has the most powerful arm in the QB group but he is indecisive and not as accurate as I had expected. Given…[Read more]

Utesby1 replied to the topic Utah’s D was elite, but UCLA’s unforced errors also helped in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Obviously running the ball eats up clock faster than throwing incompletions, but nothing eats clock like getting first downs that lead to a long drive down the field. Our long drive that tied the game against Baylor featured runs and passes and it chewed up 9 minutes of clock.

Wherever Texas State is ranked they must be ranked higher than we are:)
They were much better against Baylor than we were. I would assume that we fall 5-6 spots.

Well, we are 25-30% of the way through fall camp and crickets abound. Can you give us a few morsels of insight into the team? Not asking for any inside information on Cam or Kuithe but it would be most interesting to know who is standing out so far. Which newcomers are contributing already? Who is living up to our expectations and who is exceeding…[Read more]

Utesby1 started the topic Elite Camp and All-Poly Camp in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago

Several years some people on this board would always post detailed observations from these special camps. It was always an interesting way to get an idea of the future stars and how they compared to other outstanding players. Does anyone on the board attend these camps and if so can you provide some observations about the stand-out players?

Does anyone know if there is a site that provides live or at least frequent updates from the Elite 11 Finals? I am interested to see if Isaac can redeem himself on day 2.

OnlyU, can you share any nuggets from the scrimmage yesterday. We are all on pins and needles.

I am desperate for updates coming out of spring practice. Can you share some juicy tidbits with us?

Utesby1 replied to the topic Utes have 16 recruits ranked in the top 1000 in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago

If we signed 20 I am curious which four players were not in the top 1000? I always enjoy watching them to see which will become our next Weddle.

Our passing game is going to suffer without Kincaid. To make up for that we need a big game from Yassmin and possibly from Mclain. But, the real key is whether we have Vele back. Can you tell us if he is practicing or if he expect to be ready by the Rose Bowl?

Utesby1 started the topic Think about this for a second in the forum Football 1 year, 11 months ago

As dominant as our performance was against USC consider that it could have been much worse. We played without our number 1 receiver (Kuithe), our number 2 receiver (Kincaid) was severely limited, and our number 3 receiver (Vele) was effectively eliminated due to his injury. If someone had told you that we would be without Vele and that Kincaid…[Read more]

We are younger than any major DI team in the country. That means some sloppy play and ups and downs but most of all it means the tkeam will literally improve every game. When you are as young as we are we will be able to see almost constant improvement.

Utesby1 started the topic How far can our OL and WRs take us in 2019? in the forum Football 5 years, 8 months ago

Barring injury to Huntley, we look to be positioned for a great year in 2019. The real question is how far can our OL and WRs take us. Common knowledge that our OL was mediocre in 2018 and we lost three of them to graduation. The two who remain plus Ford should all be improved next year. The real question is whether Daniels, Maile, Maea, BAM,…[Read more]

Utesby1 started the topic Herm is an arrogant putz in the forum Football 5 years, 9 months ago

Herm Edwards thinks that he has the silver bullet when recruiting against Utah. All he wants is to secure the last visit so he can play the diversity card. I can just hear him saying, “we embrace diversity here, I am a minority you are a minority. Why would you ever want to go play with a bunch of white candy ass Mormons.” In truth, Utah’s team…[Read more]
