Overpaying only hurts them if it prevents them from signing additional players. So far, I haven’t seen anything to indicate this is the case.
This is a win for them and a loss for us. No other way to spin it.

ASU, BYU, Iowa State, and either K-State or Colorado. Colorado depends on if Deion stays or not.

Hypesman Trophy
If Hunter played for anyone other than Deion, he probably wouldn’t have won. Then again, if Jeanty played for a P4 team, he probably would’ve won.
Hunter: 1,157 total yards receiving & rushing, 15 total TDs, 4 Interceptions, 31 tackles, 11 pass deflections
Jeanty: 2,613 total yards rushing & receiving, 30 total TDs
Jeanty would…[Read more]

Maybe, maybe not. How good of friends are Beck and Scalley. Given the choice between working with your good friend or going back to your alma mater, I think a lot of people would choose to continue working with their friend.

I remember hearing a radio interview he did shortly after his Utah career ended, and he was trashing Utah while praising BYU. Definitely changed my view of him.

Beck: A- Not our first choice, but he might end up being our best choice. Sounds like he will be bringing a dynamic offense with him, and the best part is that he is being allowed to bring in some of his own guys to help coach it.
Detmer: A Have we ever had a dedicated QB coach?
Atuaia: A Good reputation, good recruiter, could be bringing a much…[Read more] -

UteThunder replied to the topic Tiny RB signees in the forum Football 4 weeks, 1 day ago
It’s not the problem, but it’s part of the problem. The line isn’t always going to be able to make/hold their blocks and you need a back big enough to be capable of getting yards after contact to pick up those tough short yards.

UteThunder replied to the topic Two things I don't understand about the Ute Fan base (at least online) in the forum Football 1 month ago
1. I’m indifferent towards BSU, but they have had our number (I believe we are 0-4 against them) and their fans are something else.
2. I don’t hate Harlan, but what has he done to improve Utah athletics, specifically football and basketball? The new South Endzone at RES was already in the works before he was hired. Harlan just put the finishing…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic New OC hire could signal KW's future in the forum Football 1 month ago
If we hire someone like Dirk Koetter or Dan Mullen, that tells me Whit plans on staying for another year or two and wants a mercenary to help right the ship quickly for one last ride. If we hire one of the younger guys who have been rumored, I will expect a follow up announcement of Whittingham’s retirement.

UteThunder replied to the topic Utah Broke Gus Malzahn in the forum Football 1 month ago
What does this say about the Big XII, and UCF specifically, that a head coach is voluntarily taking what should be viewed as a demotion to be an OC in the ACC? Unless he’s been told “quit or be fired”, it’s hard to understand this career move.

UteThunder replied to the topic What is the path for HS coach to D1? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
High school coaches play little to no part in whether kids turn into D1 football players. They are largely born with the measurables. As long as they work to maximize their genetics, college coaches will find them.
Recruiting to a high school is not the same as recruiting to a university. For the most part, the pitch is, “Hey kid, we’re getting…[Read more]

Is Corner Canyon great because Kjar is a great coach? Or is Corner Canyon great because they have a ton of great players transfer into his program?
I’m sure he is a fine coach, but my guess is the latter. Any coach is going to look like a genius with the athletes he’s had at Corner Canyon.

Bajakian is on the sideline. He is in the intermediary between whoever is in the booth and the QB.

I noticed Rising smiling and talking on the sideline while Wilson was in the game. When Bottari came in, Cam put a headset on and was engaged in the game. Make of that what you will.
