The Miami Ute

Just me, but I’m thinking that NIL is not a feature of Rose’s or Wilson’s departure. I would say that it’s more related to the possibility of getting active playing time.

I see him as a candidate for the new PAC or the MWC. Maybe he can sign on with an SEC or B1G bottom dweller. I doubt that say a Georgia or a team of that ilk would have any interest in him given his tape.

Gotta say, trust the process. I’m not worried because none of the guys that are leaving are key contributors. Now, if it’s April and nothing much has changed, that’s when I’ll start raising red flags.

I’d be beyond shocked if Beck would agree to having Rising be an Ute next season.

Well, as has been said multiple times, just because you enter the Portal doesn’t mean you leave. Bottari entered the Portal after last season, signed with Cal but then returned to Utah in the Spring. There have also been cases of players entering the Portal but never actually leaving. I’m kind of wondering where Isaac is going to go because I’d…[Read more]

I’d take him in a heartbeat.

Oh, they’re corrupt alright. They proved that last year when 13-0 FSU was left out of the CFP. However,i’m not certain that they can put a Bama team with two really bad losses over an SMU team with two really close losses.

It was a last second loss and the team that lost still has a better record.

I have the same exact teams but seeded differently. For example, I have Clemson at #12 and SMU at #11.

I personally feel that both Indiana and Tennessee are in the CFP. Bama and South Carolina are not.

Thanks for the insight. It kind of seems like other teams have zeroed on him because, you’re right…he’s going to have a lot problems with physicality as the season goes along.

Yeah Rick, I thought that SMU left a few ticks on the clock as well before they scored. I’m loving it though…anything to screw with the “committee.”

No disrespect, but you lost me when you said that you were “a huge Smith fan.” What exactly has Smith demonstrated during his time at Utah to earn such allegiance? All I’ve seen is three mediocre seasons and the start of a fourth.

Yeap, and then Mario Cristobal bailed Oregon out by leaving to go to Miami, allowing Oregon to hire a much better football coach.

I have season tickets so I go to every game…yeah, it was a fun game to watch, if you were a neutral, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it was a loss and that this team has systemic and coaching issues. The poor free throw shooting, for example, has been a hallmark of Smith’s tenure and is unexcusable.

I don’t know Wilson from Adam, but he doesn’t strike me as an intellectual specimen.

I was going to make a similar comment about Sharavjamts. It could be that after getting his game on tape, he’s been found out by the opposition. He was absolutely awful in the first few minutes of the first half, was pulled, and wasn’t seen the rest of the game. No muy bueno for Mike…it’s a tell that Smith has lost confidence in him. We’ll…[Read more]

If he leaves Utah, he’ll be one of those guys that we’ll never hear from again. The talent and physical tangibles just aren’t there.
