      X-post from 4-star RB Racine Galliore yesterday, “patiently waiting” which I interpret as ‘I better start getting reps and more involved or I am hitting the portal already!’ Not surprised and even new high school recruits who haven’t played a down at the college level gonna bounce if they don’t get their way soon. From his high school highlight reel, I wasn’t too impressed. To me, the new freshmen 3-star RB to lookout for creating buzz in spring camp and got significant reps behind Wayshawn Parker is Daniel Bray out of Texas. His high school highlight reel is impressive. He’s quick and has a burst of speed when hitting those pockets or holes. It appears he has good field vision. Is shifty in short and open field and makes cuts on a dime when necessary. I expect Utah to lose and pickup a few more players from the portal that could be surprises (prolly both good and bad)!

      I don’t take anything Caliman posts at face value. None of his so-called predictions on past recruits materialized, ever. Think he’s just a BYU fan in sheep’s clothing

      interested to know if the school and/or boosters/donors have the $$$ or unlimited NIL to bring in top notch staff and talented players and won’t go into debt or bankruptcy because of it.

      i’m curious to know since it seems or appears the football program didn’t compete or match NIL offers for players that left, and was it because they didn’t think the players were worth keeping, or they just didn’t have the $$$ to match any offers, or a little bit of both

      The bigger they are the harder they fall. Not wishing it on them, but the massive BYU pride, arrogance and ego is out of control and they bring upon themselves. They act entitled because of backing from their so-called billionaire donor or donors. Like I said, pride cometh before the fall

      okay, let me pump the breaks and let our new guys get on campus and prove themselves! just watched one of Racine’s hudl videos and no doubt why he was a highly recruited RB! he does have very good quickness and speed, to me though it just seems Daniel Bray’s video highlights standout. we do have some good talent coming in and fall camp will be the one to watch!

      oh my bad, didn’t know he wasn’t even on campus yet. i guess he meant patiently waiting to join the team and get after it. thanks for clarifying, i stand corrected! the way college football is these days, i looked too much into it. however, outta the two, Daniel Bray looked much more impressive in his high school highlights then Raycine and seems to have backed it up in Spring ball. will see come fall camp when competition heats up. very exciting times ahead!

      Utah probably gave him some NIL to stick around. I’m sure he’s a die-hard Utah man to the core! But lets be honest, that’s what Tanuvasa said as he slammed other teammates for doing what he ended up doing a few weeks later. Snowden prolly woulda bolted already if not offered NIL

      Not your fault! IMO, Whitt and the media led many on thinking the team was going to be better than the previous years. That may have been true, but one exception, Whitt can be the one to blame for the nose dive in the program. I think it is safe to say he is not very good at judging QB talent and ability, and significantly miscalculated and/or misdiagnosed his assessment or analysis of that position group.

      The past two years, he put his eggs all in one basket and it backfired on him in a big way! I don’t think Utah would have ended as badly as they did last year had he not tried a different QB after the Arizona or TCU games. He stuck with it and it burned him.

      I don’t trust Whitt on the offensive side of the ball. That will be his achilles heel and I don’t expect him to change with a new OC. It will be very hard for him to keep his hands out of the cookie jar. He’s a run first run heavy football coach and I see him overusing the new RB Wayshawn Parker. Hope I’m wrong, but BYU’s Sitake lets his coaches coach and look what happened. Whitt’s a control freak and I don’t see him changing even if it meant him going undefeated and winning a Big12 CC that way.
