It seems that gone are the days when you could develop players. Everyone is looking to get on the field ASAP.

Barton’s older brother Cody, who played LB for us, did not see a ton of playing time until he was a junior if I remember right. I don’t think he was a full-time starter until he was a senior. Now he is starting in the NFL.

I never understood all the love the pro scouts showed Wilson. Yes, BYU played a pathetic 2020 COVID schedule. It made him look better than he was. But, the scouts should have known that. I had nothing against Zach, I just did not see what the scouts were seeing.

On the other hand, I have watched Isaac play a lot. I am impressed with his…[Read more]

It would make no sense to transfer to that program which is such a mess right now.

This season was a mess and things were not communicated well all across the line. This created some confusion.

IMO, I don’t think Nat has what it takes to be a D1 QB. But, I wish him the best going forward.

Maybe it’s time we make an offer to Bo Tate from Corner Canyon. He committed to Baylor. But, I understand from sources close to his family, he would jump at an offer from Utah. We need to move quickly on this one if we want to do it.

Good to hear. We are building a team for 2024.

We may not have a lot of room for new recruits. Of course, some players will leave the team for more playing time.

Thanks, Onlyu. Great information. I think the staff is all in for a playoff bid in 2024 and then there will likely be a lot of changes.

Go Utes!!!

I like coach Ludwig, but I don’t think he has done a great job developing QB. I am not going to list names here, but there have been plenty of highly rated QBs who never …

This year was very sad. I saw a freshman Fifita at Arizona kill it. We have tried a myriad of QBs who were not ready for the big-time. They looked lost and lacked…[Read more]

Agree. If he decides to leave, that is completed understandable. I wish him well regardless. He is a very good man!!!

Let me try to answer your points in bold below.

– Why do you think Shah failed? Special teams was not an issue this year at all. Our kicker got hurt. When he played, he played great. Our punter had a good year as well. Some areas need to improve I guess, but Shah did not fail. I don’t know when you turned into Mr. Negative Nancy.

Have you see…[Read more]

I understand your valid points on Vaki and our running backs. Also, I stated he should be moved only if he is willing to make the move. I would NOT require him to move. The same was done with JJ from QB to RB. JJ chose to make a permanent move and it has worked out for him.

I am not a coach. I am not even a former player. But, from my…[Read more]

I agree with both of your additional points. I really like our passing game in 2019. I hope we can see a solid passing game with Cam in 2024.

That would be a fun game, if we have enough healthy players to play. Whitt once said that Barton could be game-ready by the bowl game.
