    I’d argue that Thompson, Boyd, and Enis will play in the NFL or at least reach the level of the guys you mention.  Mariner, Simpkins and potentially Covey will get a look as well.  Very similar…Enis, Boyd and Thompson are higher rated incoming prospects than those listed above as well.  

    Point taken on catches but in fairness Boyd wasn’t…[Read more]

    First of all we are in a much better position at WR top to bottom than we probably ever have been albeit maybe slightly inexperienced.

    We’re splitting hairs a little with Mariner, Covey, Nacua, and Simpkins. They’re all right there but Thompson on paper is one of the more talented receivers we’ve landed at the U. 6’2”/210…plenty physical,…[Read more]

  • Morgan doesn’t take the BYU job…Just not in him to do so.  You won’t find a guy besides a few here that is more of a Utah guy than he is. UTE!! 

    He’ll have other options if he chooses but comes from a great successful family and has carved out a very good living on his own coaching.  The lure of the money is probably secondary to a head job so…[Read more]

    Utah is right. Bryan made a big jump before tearing his pectoral muscle in winter weights. He still had issues with full extension in the spring after surgery but will be 100% for camp.

    1 – Thompson

    2 – Boyd (has the talent to be on the 1 line…has to stop pouting and compete/Simpkins

    3 – Mariner (Wilson – Senior year…could be a…[Read more]

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Need Moar Football Talk in the forum Football 6 years, 9 months ago

    Yep…you’re right. He’s putting on weight but his style definitely invites more contact than you probably want. He’s maturing, knows the offense better and has a better O-line this year. If the WR’s step up and are as good as their talent level suggests, teams won’t be able to take either the Run or the Pass away, especially with Tyler’s r…[Read more]

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Need Moar Football Talk in the forum Football 6 years, 9 months ago

    Good question…Probably because we lost by 3 at home to Stanford and by a point to SC on the road the 2 weeks prior. Went from 3-0 with Huntley to 3-2 with Williams. Williams also missed a wide open Carrington on the 2 pt play to win the game in the Colesseum so that probably pushed a decision with Tyler returning a week early IMO. Really the…[Read more]

    Everything in place for a special season.  EVERYTHING!!!!
    Need things to break our way with health and a lucky bounce here or there and we’ll play for a Pac12 Championship in December!
    Cannot wait to see this group play!!

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Francis Bernard in the forum Football 6 years, 11 months ago

    High hopes for Pirtle but with the Jordan injury, the Bernard addition, etc. like “Utah” says, he’ll most likely end up at DE.  Something else would have to happen for him to end up at LB.  That’s all assuming he comes in ready to compete and is able to grasp that technique and responsibility.  He’s done it before so no one thinks it will be an…[Read more]

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Francis Bernard in the forum Football 6 years, 11 months ago

    Lloyd is coming along.  Had a much improved Fall and is plenty athletic.  He’ll play some and its probably perfect that he’s not thrown into the fire quite yet.  Not ready mentally to have a big role but by next year will be.  Karsten Llilenquist is physicsl and adds depth as well.  We have 6 that are actually capable now.  That number has been 4…[Read more]

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Wide Reciever Depth in the forum Football 7 years ago

    Nope you’re correct only a Junior…need to stop drinking in the AM.  Talent level has increased in that room the past two seasons with 4 star guys added.  He’s not that type of talent.  Steady performer for sure not overly dynamic.  That rating isn’t mine by the way.  

  • Onlyu started the topic Wide Reciever Depth in the forum Football 7 years ago

    The one thing I’m not comfortable with today is our WR depth.  Jaylen Dixon’s performance aside in the scrimmage, I don’t expect him to be in the top 6 this Fall.  He had a nice day but isn’t ready IMO.  Alec Dana is not in the program today.  Jameson Field would be ahead of Dixon and Tyquez Hampton suffered an injury a few weeks back with surgery…[Read more]

  • Confident and productive absolutely but Oregon in their heyday?? Haha. I’m not sure we’ll ever get to that point but we’re incredibly close to having a multiple offense with experience, speed, talent and depth and with weapons left and right. I’d like to see 2 more high quality “4 star” type receivers added next year so there is no drop off wi…[Read more]

  • Onlyu started the topic Spring practices going well… in the forum Football 7 years ago

    Depth is simply ridiculous…Amy D. Has a story in the DNews tonight that highlights our Corners and well worth a read.
    Blackmon, Johnson, Lewis, Smith, King, Guidry, etc. and everyone of them comes back next year (unless Blackmon goes pro after this year).  We are loaded back there.  D-line gave the O-line fits yesterday.  Fotu up the middle,…[Read more]

  • Huntley is the clear no. 1 today. Tuttle has a big arm and all of the tools and gets better all the time. That said, reading below, you shouldn’t be worried about a transfer with him. He’s in…If Tyler is the guy and I’m betting he will be, Jack will keep preparing for his time here. It will come sooner or later. He’s not the type of kid to…[Read more]

  • Watching film and discussing his future.  Not sure where that goes if anywhere but my understanding is it’s either here or Wazzou.  

  • complaints about keeping the local kid home.  If we get Enis we steal the #2 player in Arizona.  ASU and Arizona have each signed just 1 Arizona Top 15 recruit.
    Colorado, Oregon and Oregon St each signed 3 of their top 15.  Washington – 5, Wash St – 2
    Utah has signed 5.  
    Winning the South will keep more home but compared to other places we…[Read more]

  • Get this kid and we meet almost all of our needs!  Would be a big pick up late.

  • Every kid that joins will have multiple P5 offers…every one of them. That’s a first I think.

    Mataafa, Pirtle and Tenny Pututau bring 3 – 4 star linebackers to the group. Pace, I think even you would agree that’s one of the biggest positions of need and it’s been addressed.

    Steal Solomon Enis and that’s another 4 star WR to add to Hampton…[Read more]

  • I would argue that we are landing these types of players.
    Bryan Thompson was a high 4 star recruit last year. Top 25 National WR. Will have a big role next year. Still a couple of 4 star wideouts in play that we can possibly land as well.
    Boyd (top 5 in Texas) and Hampton were high 3 or 4 star gets depending on the ranking service. The last…[Read more]

  • Onlyu replied to the topic Raelon Singleton in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago

    Rae doesn’t love it here – never really did. He wants to go back to Texas which is closer to home for him. Not sure about family issues but if that’s what he said then I’ll accept that.

    He called Texas, Texas Tech and TCU. TCU told him no…the other two told him they would have a spot for him.

    Here’s my opinion on Rae…Top 3 round NFL tal…[Read more]
