Yeah, I heard the same thing. I hope Atuaia can get him here in SLC. This is a position where we really need some help. I believe he is the highest ranked RB in the portal right now.

ProudUte replied to the topic Nate Johnson in the forum Football 1 week, 1 day ago

I hope he decides to return as a WR. It would be nice to have an emergency QB with the number of QB injuries we have had lately.

ProudUte replied to the topic What they are saying about Dampier in the forum Football 1 week, 2 days ago

Exactly. We have not had a good QB for two seasons now. I would take a good season.

ProudUte started the topic What they are saying about Dampier in the forum Football 1 week, 2 days ago

This is what Luginbill says about Dampier.

Dampier was one of the biggest surprise steals in the 2023 class for New Mexico and is about to be one of the hottest commodities on the market for his dual-threat traits and creative play-making. He reminds us of Jayden Daniels as both a runner and thrower. He’s the type of player that can pull a…

I do not totally agree. But, I gave you a thumbs-up for sharing what some may think is an unpopular opinion. I respect your opinion.

ProudUte replied to the topic Creed Whittemore in the forum Football 1 week, 2 days ago

According to this – it’s a done deal.

Creed transfers to Utah

It appears that he will have 3 years to play 3. His stats so far are not amazing. Hopefully, he has a great career in SLC.

ProudUte started the topic Utah finds its 2025 punter in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

Orion Phillips, the punter for Missouri is transferring to Utah. He averaged a solid 43.5 yards per punt. It appears he will be a junior in 2025.

ProudUte started the topic Jeremiah Caldwell commits to Utah in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

He is a 6’2″ CB who was a former 4-star recruit to Louisville. He most recently played JC in Kansas. I like how tall he is. He had 6 interceptions last season. Hopfeully, he can come in an be an immediate impact player.

ProudUte replied to the topic What were the rumors about Wilson? in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

I don’t think it is appropriate for me to post something on a fan board about the specifics. I will leave it at that.

ProudUte replied to the topic What were the rumors about Wilson? in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago

His off-the-field actions were more than just the locker room. I still believe he is a talented player. However, there is some baggage that I would not want if I was the coach.

Two weeks ago, I wanted him to stay. Now, I think it is better for Utah and Isaac if he moves on.

I wish him the best.

ProudUte replied to the topic Bouwmeister to Texas. in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago

I would give you ten thumbs-up checks if I could.

ProudUte replied to the topic Bouwmeister to Texas. in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago

Well, he will only punt about 25% as much as he did here.

This has to be all about money.

ProudUte replied to the topic Rank the coaching changes in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago

No A’s for any of them unless we have at least a 70% TD success rate inside the Red Zone.

ProudUte replied to the topic A former UTE I'd love to have on the staff. in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago

Weddle should come coach now at Utah and his son can play for the QB whisperer, coach Kjar at Corner Canyon.

ProudUte replied to the topic Rank the coaching changes in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

I don’t think Harding is a poor coach. But, I do think that our offensive line has not been top-tier like we need to be to compete at this level. Just my uneducated opinion. I admit that I am limited in what I know about the Oline and their specific assignments.

Yes, Fano is getting a lot of positive pub right now. That’s a great thing!

ProudUte started the topic Rank the coaching changes in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

As for me – I give it a grade of B. I kind of like Beck, but he was our third choice. I think Atuaia is a good get with some solid experience. Micah Simon may end up being good, but he lacks big-time experience. This is position group that needs help.

I would have changed the Oline coach. It seems like Harding has something on Whitt. I…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

I wanted Fesi to be our WR coach. I guess he is too tied to Kalani.

ProudUte started the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

I have been pleased with our other new coaches. I think we could have done better at WR. He completed his playing career at BYU just 5 years ago. He has only one year as a WR coach, at UNM.

Maybe he will be great, but his resume is not too impressive.

It appears that Beck has a huge say in who will be coaching on the offense. All of these…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Most likely to remove name from Portal? in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

Boumeister got too tired. He had to punt way too much and this was too hard on him. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Looks like we're hiring Mark Atuaia from wazzu as RB coach in the forum Football 1 week, 5 days ago

I hope this is true. I liked Ganther when he played at Utah, but he has not been a great RB coach IMO.

Atuaia has a solid resume, so I hope it’s true. He has definitely resigned from WSU. However, there are some rumors he will be the OC for Bronco at USU.
