Miami
To use your word – I absolutely believe Kyle and the staff “war-gamed” the situation. And I think it’s working out. They decided to let the talent in the room emerge while Cam rehabilitated his injury. While it hasn’t been pretty, Utah is 3-0 and Nate Johnson is getting valuable reps against strong competition (I include Weber). I do think…[Read more] -

I agree with the Baylor radio call. Contact from both players and nothing egregious. Good no call.

Terrific move by Coach Roberts. I’d heard Juddy was hoping to have a little more to do. He never moved down to Provo so he still lives on the edge of the Olympus Cove.
I do wish he was doing this for the men’s team. They are in so much need of player development. I can personally attest to Juddy’s ability to teach shooting. That may seem obvious…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Thoughts on Utah vs Florida OL/DL? in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
It will be a critical match up. I do worry, like you, that our ends are a little undersized. As you said, Fillinger has gotten bigger and Fano will over the next few years. The other ends will be match ups of speed versus size – O’Toole and Ellis in particular.
But that doesn’t factor in the impact of our tackles. I don’t care who it is, I like…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Isaac Wilson in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Wilson won me over last season in a loss – I think to Lehi. I was happy to see Lehi win because Corner Canyon is such a juggernaut; but Wilson’s playmaking and competitiveness in that game was remarkable. The kid simply wouldn’t quit and nearly brought them back for a win. I hope to get to a few Corner Canyon games this year to watch Wilson,…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic A few camp notes in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I don’t know that I ever doubted our safety play coming into this year. I simply felt we had enough with developing depth. Bishop, Vaki and Ritchie are all players who combine physicality, athleticism and intelligence.
I want to see the growth we all hope for/anticipate in the defensive line. They appear loaded. I don’t worry about the tackles…[Read more]

Rick started the topic Hunter Erickson… in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 9 months ago
I attended the CSI/SLCC game this afternoon – the #2 and #4 NJCAA teams in the country. CSI controlled the game from midway through the first half to the end. The Bruins had a few opportunities to whittle the lead and perhaps gain control but couldn’t quite break through. Both teams have strong talent and could do well in the postseason.
As many…[Read more]

Rick started the topic Impact Players in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago
Yes it’s early but who impacts on the field this fall from the class that became official today?
I can see linebackers Tufaga and Calvert, Stewart at safety (perhaps even Bishop given the depth and mission situation, Curry and Pledger at Running back and Brewer at Quarterback – although I’m hoping Rising earns the position.
Parks sure looks like…[Read more] -
Rick started the topic Scalley's response… in the forum Football 4 years, 4 months ago
Scalley’s response was terrific in the presser just now. It’s exactly what I expected from him – humble, contrite, poised to learn from his mistakes and become part of the solution.
Sure there will be some ups and downs for the program – and for him – as a result of this; but I think there will be far more positives and everyone associated with…[Read more] -
