I am sad to see him go, but could this be a mutual decision that would help him get more playing time and free up a spot for the team. I don’t know anything, but this would not surprise me.

Wishing back things on another is always wrong IMO. I give you credit for having the guts to post here. But, you are dead wrong on so many things you posted.

Screw it. I am close to just giving up on college sports. It is so messed up. I hate what has happened with the NIL and portal. I need to separate myself from this mess. I was a Ute fan during the 1-10 seasons of the 1970s and enjoyed it. But, this crap is out of hand.

I have never been a casual Ute fan, but this may be what I will be now.

Spending millions on unproven college athletes when there are so many more important causes just rubs me wrong. Donors, donate to good causes. They should donate their money to cancer research. T2T, Wounded Warriors, Red Cross, etc. I for one will not be donating to any college football player.

Thanks for the report!

It will be his first game with new teammates, new coaches, and a new scheme. I suspect he will not be at his best when the Bruins play Utah. But, he is a talented QB.

9 spots to fil this late in the game is an issue. However, in the new world of portal players it is not as big of an issue. Yet, I suspect the best of the portal players have already made their decisions.

I suspect Alex will need a few years to get this program on solid footing. BYU’s coach did amazing h=in his first year, but it sounds like he had millions of dollars to help.

There was a game-time decision not to play Rising.

[ProudUte]

BYU matched the highest offer, and since he was already living down the road in Mt. Pleasant, he chose BYU.

[ProudUte]

Yes, BYU got a lot of bounces during he season, which helped them have an 11-2 season. However, I noticed that they enjoyed playing together. They were having fun, and showed confidence. This is much like the Utes from 2017 to 2022.

BYU did not lose many players from last season, and they return their starting QB. If their QB stays healthy, I think they will be a good team. If they lose their QB, they will likely be toast.

Their leading WR by a long shot, Marion, went into the portal yesterday, likely looking for a nice NIL payout. However, if he doesn’t find what he wants, he may be back.

A year ago I was fine with Harlan. Not so much now. I do like the hire of Alex Jensen, but I am not sure he had a lot to do with getting him to come home.

If the Red Rocks pull off a national championship on Saturday, the Utes will have two this season. Not many ADs can say that. That being said, for me, it’s all about football.
