Fool me, ya can’t get fooled again.

It’s an old saying in Tennessee, and Texas, I think it’s In Tennessee too.

You should draw up those plays and take them to Ludwig.

I agree but also, fan police: weee ooooh, weeee ooooh.

I see what you’re saying. Of course you keep Cam, but for every returning starter you bring back you’re missing out on portal transfers.

11 of the 21 listed are not Utah Top 10 guys, or are not from Utah, or didn’t sign with Utah out of HS.

Agree. Utah is 4-1 with it’s best player out. There are positives to build on.

I get what you’re saying. What the other post was griping about was not landing top 10 Utah guys. Half the guys on your list are not top 10 or didn’t sign with Utah, originally, or are not from Utah.

Mokofisi, not top 10,
Kump, not top 10,
Bently, not top 30
Vakalahi not top 10.
Damuni signed with Stanford
Tao Johnson, Idaho
Togiai, Idaho
Karene…[Read more]

Julian Blackmon was a 3 star recruit.

Utah has made it clear that they value the portal and late announcing high star recruits. Therefore, looking at the early recruiting rankings isn’t groing to tell the full story.

Yup. That guys projecting 2026 during 2024 and not comparing any of the recent years’s trends. He needs to stop being a bitc4 and so worrisome.

Meh. In 2018, Utah took 2 of the top 10 Utah recruits. Utah is loaded with upperclassman. There’s not a lot of open starting opportunity across the board.

I think you’re wrong on this one. Utah needs NFL guys. Most of Utah’s NFL guys come from out of state. Reverse engineer the recruiting and if Utah gets half or 40% of the top 10 Utah kids, that’s about at or above the average nationwide and historically. Of course there have been some up years where they’ve grabbed 70% or 80% but those are the out…[Read more]

How many times do we need to say this: most states lose half their top 10 kids to out of state schools. The end.

If money was not a consideration, I would love this idea.

We do not.

I’ll agree with you there. Cam’s 30+ PPG average is better at 80% than a true freshman with the yips.

I’m going to disagree. Whit didn’t float the ball to Kuithe wide open over the middle. Whitt didn’t run the ball for less than 1 YPC Mike Mitchell. A couple plays hit in the first half and Utah has the momentum early. I will say though that Whitts demeanor carries to the team sometime and seems to bog them down mentally.

He’s better than Mike Mitchell’s 1 YPC.
