This will be his most challenging season. He looks driven to turn things around. I like the offensive mind set. If they can patch the defense back together they should be competitive but not dominate.

Cougar fan trying to get a reaction. Kind of like poltergeist movie “they’re back”. One good season and a few big BB recruits and the jaws start yapping.

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.

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.

Good post Pedro. Whitt has limited funds and has to divide the money between a lot of players. They evaluate the players and pay is based on value to the program. They can’t over pay (Rising) or someone else gets shorted. Salary caps keep NFL and NBA competitive. MLB has a similar problem with no cap. Until there is an equal playing field we will be average at best.

“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 align with bigger programs for development.

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.

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.
