Fixed it.

I read up a bit on Sam. He was a highly recruited QB last year. He was ranked the 78th best recruit in the 2923 class.

His dad and brother played at BYU. Does BYU have the inside track for this kid? He could start at BYU next season. That’s not happening at Utah.

I don’t know much about him but news sources are reporting that Utah is interested in him.

ProudUte started the topic Only – Do you know what is going on with Vaki? in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

There are lots of rumors. I do not understand why he would leave if we have the NIL money you have mentioned.

ProudUte started the topic No there is 3 left in to 2025 QB room in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Mack Howard has also put his name in the portal. This is not a huge loss, but we will need to do something to get some QB in here. We have Rising, Rose, and Wilson. All three are coming off injuries.

ProudUte started the topic I made a mistake on a response I made on Vaki in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Please excuse an old man for not reading correctly.

I posted that KSL indicated that Vaki was leaving. I was posting about Vele. I am very sorry for any turmoil I created.

My Bad!!! See my post above. I was posting about Vele.

ProudUte replied to the topic Smoke on Vaki… in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

He’s gone according to KSL. I wish him well.

ProudUte started the topic Our new conference needs to step it up in football in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

12 of the 13 highest ranked teams are from the SEC and the Big10. The new Big13 needs to step it up in football.

Some teams in our new conference have a strong football tradition; i.e., TCU, KState, Baylor, etc. Arizona is headed in the right direction.

I want Utah to win the conference, but I want a strong conference. Winning a weak…[Read more]

I would still vote for Nix.

ProudUte started the topic So what happens if a team loses so many players to the portal in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

That they really don’t have enough players to play in a bowl game?

Today, many NFL prospects do not want to play in the bowl game because they do not want to risk injury. Add to that existing injuries and the many players leaving for potentially greener pastures via the portal – it appears some teams may struggle to field a complete team for the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Another LB entering the portal in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

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 struggle…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Isaac Wilson talks about being a Ute in the forum Football 12 months ago

Riley interviewed him yesterday.

Summary of the interview:

His senior season meant a lot to him because they were able to beat Skyridge which beat them in the championship last year.

His focus this season was to cut down on turnovers and reading through his progressions. His coach helped him improve in these areas. He learned to take the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Nate Johnson on KSL Sports Yesterday in the forum Football 12 months ago

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.

ProudUte started the topic BYU homer, Ben Criddle stirring the pot about Vaki in the forum Football 12 months ago

Ben Criddle retweeted a tweet from Vaki from 2018 today. The tweet talks about his visit to BYU and shows a pic of him and Sitake. The tweet said this is where his mom always wanted him to go to school.

Criddle is such a BYU homer that he can’t see outside of Provo. But, I wonder what he is trying to do with this retweet.

ProudUte replied to the topic Nate Johnson on KSL Sports Yesterday in the forum Football 12 months ago

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.

ProudUte replied to the topic Medlock transfer. in the forum Football 12 months ago

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.

ProudUte replied to the topic Levani Damuni Returning in the forum Football 12 months ago

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.

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU thoughts on the season in the forum Football 12 months ago

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!!!
