“All in” until someone offers more $$ or they are “blessed” to have played for such a great school but the “lord”is guiding them to new experience. I might be “all in” not renewing my season tickets I’ve had since 1973 and “blessed”to not have to not have to go to anymore 8:30 games in November.

Will Snowden who trains and helps place high school talent in colleges said their offers were down 80%. Most of those will go to a juco for a year and then hope to get picked up by a D1. Nobody wants to develop a high school player as a freshman and watch them leave unless they are capable of playing right away. JUCOs will become farm teams and…[Read more]

Good points Yergie. I think money trumps all in the portal. Now even if you get a top Florida recruit if you can’t pay them they’ll go back home after a year or two if they are good.

Money not culture or development matter. Recruiting pitch “ we have more money “. Changes are coming with Alabama and Ole Miss getting left out of the CFP. Super league is inevitable.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Hunter Clegg flips to BYU in the forum Football 1 month ago
I agree JGore but he is from their backyard (within the bubble). Pressure from the LDS fans. We lost the other American Fork kid also. They have to get those recruits to be successful. We have a much bigger recruiting footprint.

Maybe his running style fits the new offense. When is the last time we had a freshman running back contribute immediately besides #22. Hopefully Beck will adapt the offense to the RB strengths instead of their weaknesses.

Hard to tell what impact Clegg will have on both schools. I’ll take Fano and Dailey (BYU flips) over Clegg. Sounds like he wants the BYU experience. Some want to stay living in the bubble and some want to get out of the bubble. I don’t think money has anything to do with it.

If you eliminate the top 4 favorites Oregon Texas Ohio State Georgia that leaves 8 possible dark horse. I’ll go Penn State because of their schedule.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Cam Calhoun to Bama in the forum Football 1 month ago
Sad state of NIL- portal era. He would have sat the bench last year at Alabama and not gotten any game reps then transfer. He gets valuable game reps at Utah and transfers. It just goes to show players want $$$. Culture, playing time and buying all in are just words on the team bulletin board. As Tom Cruise would say “ show me the money”.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic If you entered the portal and come back, does that mean you're all-in? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
It means nobody offered you more. Wilson got a wake up call that it wasn’t just Ute fans that noticed his flaws. Definition of all in = $$. All in until someone offers more then all out.

Thanks MFury. Thoughts and prayers to the Woodbury family.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Cam Calhoun’s mom wants him paid the max (here) in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I think the first rule should be if go to the portal you can’t return (price shopping). Secondly if you leave for more money you need to pay your previous team 10% for expenses. Right now it’s open free agency with no penalties or consequences. Maybe I’m wrong but it seemed like the old transfer rule was you had to sit out a year pre NIL and that…[Read more]

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic What were the rumors about Wilson? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Fair enough. I agree it’s not appropriate however stating off field issues lead to speculation that may or may not be true. That’s been a Whitt problem for years with injuries.

Proud Ute I’ve heard so many comments about off the field issues not pertaining to the locker room. Interested to know what those issues were. Thanks in advance.

Rising got beat out by Brewer and instead of transferring and causing locker room drama it lit a fire under him. Give me a leader that wants to prove to himself his coaches and teammates that he can be the man and earn respect. Sometimes a piece of humble pie can make you a better leader and person.

Sorry if my comments offended someone. I was just joking and my point was he is using it as leverage to get more money.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Cam Calhoun’s mom wants him paid the max (here) in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Maybe he’ll meet a nice LDS girl and get a job with an MLM company at the Y. I wonder if they have to pay tithing with the NIL money. Call his bluff. He’s using it as leverage.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Bouwmeister to Texas. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I doubt we had any extra money for a punter. He has a chance to make some$$ and play in the SEC and a possible playoff run. Can’t blame him.

Jim Vanderhoof replied to the topic Cam Calhoun Mom wants him here in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
If there was no consequence why wouldn’t every talented player test the market to see if they can make more. Can you imagine open free agency in the NFL. Time for a super league college football conference with contracts and salary caps.
