krindor replied to the topic OT Kalolo Ta'aga from USC to Utah in the forum Football 3 days, 12 hours ago
Honestly, he’s probably a depth play and for the future. He’s probably not ready yet, butif/when Fano declares after this year, it’ll be nice to have someone ready to slide in

There’s a bunch of smoke on Bear Tenney (TE) who is a 2025 HS recruit. I’m guessing it is him

krindor replied to the topic Nate Johnson in the forum Football 6 days, 5 hours ago
There were hints dropped elsewhere that it’s a QB who left the program more recently than Nate Johnson or Bryson Barnes or Mack Howard….
which means there’s only three potential options
1. Cam Rising: Could see this, that he comes back for another year. Think someone here mentioned his locker was set back up
2. Isaac Wilson: I’ve heard a few…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic THINK ABOUT THIS …. in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago
100%… which isn’t unusual. I’m active in a few places and I’ll say that in the offseason, I saw a lot of BYU fans whining about the $$$ and NIL and how it was the end of college sports and they weren’t sure if they’d stick around (basically the same thing you see here).
Weirdly, after BYU just gave AJ Dybantsa $7M dollars, there’s a LOT less…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic Comparing Big 12 recruiting classes in the forum Football 2 weeks ago
Yeah, the hard part is 100% getting that top talent to Utah. Add one of the three I mentioned (Myles, Epenesa or Dunn) and this class would look a LOT different by this rating. Pushing every recruit down one slot would be a game changer and have Utah right up at the top (in line with Baylor, though probably still behind Colorado and TCU who are…[Read more]

Side Note: to really look at the data, I recommend NOT hitting play and instead just tapping on each # along the bottom to progress it at your own pace and see how rankings change for the depth of the class

krindor started the topic Comparing Big 12 recruiting classes in the forum Football 2 weeks ago
We’re now in the Big 12. Which means that we most directly have to measure our recruiting against Big 12 teams, not against B1G or SEC teams or even our pre-Big 12-history (which would also have to be adjusted for inflation, but that’s a different story).
And it’s generally hard to measure that – 247 has their rankings, but frankly put way too…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic Reason #638462 Yormark is a hack and the Big 12 sucks. in the forum Football 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I think this is an oversimplification to some extent. The Big 12 did well to jump ahead of the PAC. But they also had an easier time doing so.
To be blunt, the Big 12 had a bunch of unwanted leftovers who were going to be happy to take whatever decent deal they could get. If they couldn’t get a deal, then probably at least half that conference…[Read more]

Where did you see the ratings for the Utah / Iowa St game? I’ve been looking for that?

krindor replied to the topic Is this how it went down in the preseason with Isaac Wilson in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago
I’m not sure if Wilson has really regressed, so much as it is that teams have figured out his weakness.
I’m reminded of after the TCU game, someone asked “How is the OL grading well, it seems like there’s always pressure on the QB?” … and the answer is the same
Normally, TCU blitzes 20-something percent of the time. Against Utah, they blitzed…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic There is a real chance the Big 12 misses the playoff in the forum Football 1 month ago
It’s worse than that – there’s a possibility that a 2 loss Big 12 champ could get left out. Probably not BYU (currently #14) or Colorado (#16), but if Arizona St (#21) and Army (#19)both were to win out, then even an 11-2 ASU could be in danger
Consider that Army is currently ahead of ASU. And ASU would add two quality wins (#14 BYU, #16…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic Where are we at with Rose vs Wilson in the forum Football 1 month ago
Realistically, I think we (barring Wilson transferring out) go into next season with a (declared at least) 4 way battle for starting QB
• Transfer QB as the likely favorite
• Brandon Rose as the guy who has looked good in short chances, but mostly hurt
• Isaac Wilson as the touted recruit that struggled but is hopefully better with some seaso…[Read more] -
krindor replied to the topic Ike Wilson in the forum Football 1 month ago
I expect (assuming everyone stays, which isn’t a guarantee) a 4 way competition next season.
Transfer QB as the favorite
Brandon Rose as the guy who has played well in short bits, but has been hurt
Isaac Wilson as the guy who struggled as a freshman, but hopefully put work in the offseason
And then the true freshman also at least getting to be…[Read more] -
krindor replied to the topic All of the sudden, BYU’s path to conference championship is looking dicey in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 month ago
This gets to what rankings are supposed to be. Is it a reflection of resume and accomplishment? Or of which team is the best?
Reality is that if Alabama played BYU, every metric would favor Alabama. They’re probably the better team. But BYU has the better resume based on pulling out a few miracle wins. Which is why BYU is higher.
And…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic Honest question that I know I’m going to get murdered over in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
My take from as neutral an observer as I can be
If we’re going letter of the rulebook, there’s 5 penalties in that play. And it was the last one (also the most meaningless one) that hurt Utah
- Jatta (#50) has a pretty good hold on the passrusher coming up the middle
- A different Utah pass rusher comes and runs the RB over….which is allowed,…

krindor replied to the topic Line has moved down to 3 in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
93% of bettors are betting on BYU. And yet the line is moving towards Utah.
Which means one of two things
1. Lots of small bets on BYU and some massive whales on Utah – basically that the average bet on Utah is 14x larger than the average bet on BYU.
2. Vegas is exposed and could lose a bunch if BYU covers, but is confident about the outcome…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic Pittman in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Well, he said it’s Pittman and another WR an dthat between them they’ve combined for 7 receptions.
Pittman has 6.
So if I’m looking at the guys with exactly 1 catch, it’s Miki Suguturaga (not a WR), Munir McClain (who Ghost says is “definitely still on the team”) and Taeshawn Lyons.

krindor replied to the topic Thoughts on NIL from a BYU fan (I come in peace) in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
As a chaos gremlin, I would love this
Dybantsa takes $6M (mostly from Smith) to come play for BYU. He’s everything he’s reported to be, a Wooden finalist, the obvious #1 pick, and he leads BYU to a #8 finish.
But then, #3 seed BYU is somehow upset by #14 Duquesne in the first round of the NCAA tournament. And shockingly, Kevin Young convinced…[Read more]

krindor replied to the topic This could be worse. in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
To be fair, one of those “shooting themselves in the foot” ended up a TD for Houston anyway. Yeah, Utah stopped them, but then got no yardage, and had a net 21 yard punt, meaning Houston started inside the Utah 30.
So that one really only delayed the score, more than taking a score away
