Just my 2 cents:
Rising, Thomas, Daniels, Kuithe, and Kincaid on offense
Diabate, Fillinger, Gabe Reid, Phillips, and Bishop on defense
 

Gentry and Peasall entered the portal after spring ball.  It’s normal to lose non-starters this time of year, but for ASU to lose two more starters – I believe proves that ASU football is a dumpster fire.
It seems odd to me that Edwards still has a job.  I saw a prediction that shows ASU 6th in the south.  That sounds about right considering…[Read more]

This is just an opinion of one old guy based on what I have seen and heard.  
The main RB will be Tavion
Glover will get a lot of carries (I believe he is our future)
Bernard will be our third-down back.  He is the best receiver and pass blocker.
That leaves Curry and Parks.  It was posted that Curry is having a very good spring.  What will…[Read more]

The offensive line is the key to our offensive success.  How is our offensive line shaping up this spring?  In your opinion, will the line be as good as we were late last season?
With Peppins gone, who do you think will start at slot?  Will we possibly change things up and put Kuithe there more than he already was?
 

Lloyd is projected to get picked 7th by the Giants.
Lloyd
I believe that this wouid make him the second-highest Ute picked in the draft.  Jordon Gross was picked 8th and Alex Smith was 1st.

Nice article on our safeties.  This looks like a strong point for our defense.  I think we will also be strong at LB, but we lack the experience we will have at safety.
Safeties
PS – I think Bishop may be an All-American before he is done at Utah.

Nice article about our tight ends.  Maybe we will play 4 tight ends at a time this season. 🙂
A Plethora of Talent

Lloyd – Definite 1st round pick and possibly a top-ten pick.  A lot of NFL teams need linebackers.
Ford – Ford has one major thing in his favor and that is that he has played all 5 offensive line positions.  The NFL has a limited number of players and guys need to be able to move around.  I suspect he will be picked in the 4th or 5th…[Read more]

He fills one of the spots I believe we needed to fill.
Now What?  What is the position we need most now from the portal?  For me it is WR.  I would also be pleased with another top offensive lineman.
Your thoughts?

He is ranked the 13th best pro-style QB in the country.  He is from Mississippi which I found interesting.  
Rivals

He ran a 4.4 forty today in the Pro camp.  I knew he was quick and had great moves, but I did not know that he was that fast.  I am beginning to believe he will get a chance in the NFL.  The Rose Bowl helped his chances IMO.

Starting today, Cam Rising now has a weekly radio show with Bill Riley.  His first show is on right now.  I loved the Covey interviews.  I look forward to Cam Rising.  I think we will learn more about Utah football from these interviews than from any interview with KW.
Go Utes!!!
 

That all Ute fans say that had Cam Rising played on September 11th, Utah would have not only won but killed BYU.  I don’t hear that in my circle of Utah fans nor have I seen it posted on this board.  I only hear BYU fans say that.  I think it is apocryphal and that BYU fans keep saying it to get under our skin.  I even heard ARod say it on the…[Read more]

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg ranked the top 25 QB rooms in college football.  Utah ranks 14th.  I think that is about right.  Rising is a good fit for our Utes.  However, I don’t think of him as a top ten QB.
Utah ranks 14th

Back in the 1980s when we expanded the stadium and got rid of the track, there was an open house hosted by Arnie Ferrin.  I had a chance to talk to him for a bit.  He said that it would not bother him if he hired a coach and he left in a few years for greener, more lucrative pastures.  He said this meant that he had done well here.
That was then…[Read more]

This makes no sense to me.  I understand that Daniels may not have been happy playing for Herm.  But, LSU?   LSU has a large and talented QB room.  However, Daniels just isn’t that good IMO.  Maybe he will be better in a different system.
 

The NIL in action.

I was out running errands and listened to the local sports radio.  They said that this is the first time since Utah has been in the PAC12 that they really had confidence in the QB1 going into spring ball.
They did mention that Huntley had a great senior season, but that it was not expected.  I had great confidence in Huntley.  I have confidence…[Read more]

I give you this short clip.

Go Utes!!!

I remember watching Jerry Chambers and team play in the 1965/1966 season. (They went to the final four.) I thought it was so fun to attend games there.  Then in 1969, we opened the Special Events Center.  It was one of the best arenas in the country.  It is still a great place to watch basketball 53 years later.
