It ain’t over until the fat-lady sings.

Utah will still recruit him. Hopefully, Isaac Wilson tries to get him to change his mind.

ProudUte replied to the topic Article about Rose in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Good for Rose for staying. I hate the transfer portal, especially with QBs. Who knows what his role will be in 2024. Regardless, I wish him the best going forward.

ProudUte replied to the topic Today’s LockedOn Utes Podcast in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Aloha, good analysis. I agree. UCF will be tough considering it is a cross-country game on a short week.

As of today – I think Utah would be favored in all 12 games. Do I expect them to win all 12? No. I don’t think we are so good, that we won’t stumble along the way, especially if we experience key injuries.

ProudUte replied to the topic Star rating system is flawed in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I don’t really disagree with your post. I never said that the ratings are meaningless or that they do not matter. I pointed out that Georgia is on top because they have double-digit 5-star guys. I used the Superbowl as a true example, that honestly surprised me when I heard it. I thinkthe ratings are generally good for many positions, but it…[Read more]

Did you know that only one 5-star high school QB ever led his team to a Superbowl championship? One would probably guess Payton Manning, John Elway, etc. But, it is Stafford.

I believe that the star rating system is flawed, especially when it comes to QBs. BYU signed two different 5-star QBs that never played in the NFL. They signed a mid…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Honest question: Urban Meyer hate? in the forum Football 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I doubt UM will ever consider coaching at Utah. But, if he does, we should definitely listen. That being said, I am all in on Scalley being our next head coach. He has learned from the best.

ProudUte started the topic I feel bad for Oregon State and Washington State in the forum Pac-12 8 months ago

They did not deserve to be left out in the dark. I just looked at their football schedules for 2024. Both teams have MWC schedules without being part of the conference.

I am happy that Utah landed on its feet. But WSU and OSU deserved better IMO.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte started the topic More preseason hype in the forum Football 8 months ago

New teams in the CFP

I think the hype helps our football program with recruiting, etc. The publicity is a good thing. I am not too worried with players getting too cocky. Coach Whitt will take care of that IMO.

A few weeks back – I saw a post on the CB that I found kind of funny. The poster wrote that he likes BYU being rated 12th or 13th…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Most frustrating football seasons in the forum Football 8 months ago

I have lived through two 1-10 seasons in the 1970s, but they weren’t the most frustrating seasons for me because expectations were low. Here are my most frustrating seasons in chronological order:

1973 – There were high expectations for the Utah football team that year and they upset 8th ranked ASU. But, we blew it in the end and finished with…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic McKay Hillstead is in the portal in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago

I completely agree that Isaac Wilson is our QB of the future.

ProudUte replied to the topic McKay Hillstead is in the portal in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago

I want to get the best possible QB in the portal. But, with Rising being our starter, it seems like it will be difficult to find any 4-star caliber kids who would be willing to make that change.

I think McCae is a “bulldog” and may surprise some people in spite of his size. That being said, as I posted in my initial post, I am only looking for…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic McKay Hillstead is in the portal in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago

He led Skyridge to the 6A state football championship in 2022. Utah State recruited him. He got to start for a few games as a true freshman and did not do badly until he got injured. I loved watching him in high school. He made things happen. He was an amazing runner.

Should we be interested in him? He would not be our future at QB.…[Read more]

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte started the topic Proposed Super League in the forum Football 8 months, 4 weeks ago

Super League

They put us in the Plains Division, which seems a bit odd. I doubt this will be what we see. But, if it means that Utah remains with the big boys – I would take it. In the end – I suspect that the 7 division winners would make a playoff along with 9 at-large invitations.

I would like to take this over from our current situation.

ProudUte replied to the topic Weddle, Weddle, Weddle… in the forum Football 8 months, 4 weeks ago

He’s coming out???

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah as a B1G expansion target in the forum Misc 9 months ago

I support this! I’m not saying that I think it will happen, but it would be great if it did.

ProudUte started the topic Now spring practice is over – what do you think… in the forum Football 9 months ago

So what do you all think about the 2024 season?

For me – I think this season depends mostly on Cam Rising’s health and ability to do what he does best. Cam may not need to run as much as he has in the past, but he needs to be a threat to run. He is at his best when he can run and keep the defense honest.

I think we have the receivers and tight…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic I believe Isaac Wilson is our QB of the future in the forum Football 9 months ago

I thought that he was very good watching him play last season at Corner Canyon. He is a baller, very competitive, smart and athletic. I have no idea when his surgery will take place. I am sure that the family would like it to happen sooner than later. If he does have the surgery in the next month or two, he will likely not be ready to play in…[Read more]

Yep, most people did not know that OJ was ready to come to Utah until the last minute when USC swept in.

ProudUte started the topic Post practice interview with Scalley in the forum Football 9 months ago

– Said that we have to create depth at some positions.
– Corners are looking good. Johnson looks ready to go. ZV is playing as confident as he has ever played.
– Excited about the font 7, especially what Coach Eliss has done with the tackles. We have a lot of depth at the D end position. He mentioned some names of some guys who are stepping it…[Read more]
