Jake replied to the topic Who has been the best player to transfer from Utah? in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Mariner/Wilson couldn’t catch a cold and literally lost us a pac championship because of it.

Jake replied to the topic Sounds like Bernard might play in Vegas? in the forum Football 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Stop with the slot receiver BS. Dudes a running back and a very good one. Go watch his game against TSPP if you need a reminder of what he is. He’s a nice weapon to throw to out of the backfield but he’s not a slot receiver.

Not happening, Alabama is in no matter what, they won’t keep a 1 loss SEC champ out.

Jake replied to the topic What I think needs to be done with Utah football going forward in the forum Football 11 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s not a coincidence that our passing defense suffers when our D-line fails to get pressure on the quarterback. We put guys on islands, and no matter how good they are they will get picked apart if the quarterback has too much time. We also played some of the best passing attacks in the country in Oregon, UW, and Arizona.

They also called the absolute worst plays for him. They let him hand it off and only throw slants, and were surprised when we couldn’t move the ball. Watch the types of plays we call change when Barnes came in during that Oregon State game.

Jake replied to the topic So what do you think about the potential of the 2023 team? in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
I think linebacker can be a big net positive. It might’ve been our weakest position group last year. Damuni is a big experience add, and Barton was continually getting better as the year went on. Medlock continues to improve and I believe we get Fotu back from his mission and he got plenty of playing time as a freshman and looked good. I hope t…[Read more]

Jake replied to the topic Possible Unpopular Opinion on Tavion Thomas in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
He was a glorified short yardage back. His vision allowed him to hit the right holes to get into the end zone or the first down. Outside of that, he wastes his frame. He’s nearly 6-3 230 and goes down at any contact that isn’t a weak arm tackle. He never lowered his pads to punish a dude like Moss continually did. He’s also way too slow. After…[Read more]

Jake replied to the topic Possible Unpopular Opinion on Tavion Thomas in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
I would disagree that he’s anywhere near the most talented back we’ve had. He’s way too slow to be an every down back, and goes down way too easy for being ~6’3 230.

Despite being much smaller Moss was a much more physical runner than Tavion was, and was faster. Tavion tan like a lineman. Tavion short yardage vision got him his touchdowns, but he vastly underutilized his frame

Only one who gave his all during that 2021 TSPP game

JJ will clearly be the man, interesting to see who comes out 2nd between Curry and Glover and maybe one of the freshman. Hope Curry stays, but it’s a crowded room even without Micah so we’ll see.

Jake replied to the topic Micah Bernard to transfer in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Surprised but makes sense. 6 4* running backs on the team for next year, if you count JJ as he was a QB. I wouldn’t be surprised if Parks or Curry transfer either.
Bummed, was one of my top 3 favorite Utes these past 2 years

Jake replied to the topic Post game rant in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Excited about next years defense, lots of question marks on offense. Damuni coming in and Fotu getting back from his mission will solidify the LB room while Barton and Medlock will get better. Hopefully coaches don’t just give Karene his job back because he was a starter. Ritchie comes back and probably settles into FS. Played SS with us as a f…[Read more]

Good for Vaki going back to back. And you can’t say no if Rising shows up on your doorstep.

Jake replied to the topic Missions in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Not really sure on this class. If we get Walker Lions, I know he’s a mission kid. But we have Ritchie and Fotu returning, who both started as freshman, and will fill needs coming back so that’s going to be nice.

Jake replied to the topic What's the story with Michael Mitchell? in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Some players wait til later in the day or til the later signing period. But with getting Randle and having Stanley as well, a decommit from one of the RB’s wouldn’t be too surprising.

Jake replied to the topic What's the latest on John Randle Jr? in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
I can see why. He’s extremely athletic. He’s shifty, fast, has good vision, and it’s afraid to lower his head either. Would be a great pickup.
-
Jake replied to the topic What's the latest on John Randle Jr? in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
Would be interesting if we picked him up. Already have Michael Mitchell committed, as well as Dijon Stanley who also plays running back (listed as an athlete, maybe we like him at another position). I wonder if getting Randle would cause one of them to decommit.

Jake replied to the topic It appears that Cam Rising will be leaving in the forum Football 1 year, 10 months ago
I mean no disrespect to him, and he filled in well. But he is not a player that starts for us for a whole season if we want to win 9+ games.

Replace Barnes with Rose. Barnes is not a P5 starter.
