      Atuaia is recruiting RB like he is still at Wazzu. In fact, he recruited Green when he was at Wazzu.

      Have to level up. Green hasn’t shown anything to warrant a spot on our roster.

      Our RB room still has a ways to go.

      Williams’ X changed from Utah football affiliation to Colorado late this morning.

      Normal portal stuff, but Deion’s a problem. How do we get the Dallas Cowboys to hire him away?

      Great news on Parker, I believe he is a legit P4 talent and will replace MB.

      However, I don’t see another talent like him in the current room and we’ll need at least 2 RB on his level.

      I would expect that we’re not done and there will be additional opportunities ahead. So, tracking nicely.

      Hopefully, but naked eye can’t see the potential right now based on UNLV performance or recruiting profile.

      The problem with Whitt’s coaching network is that it is small and Utah bound. It rarely includes a guy with reaches into major recruiting areas. Dennis Erickson was one of those exceptions. Beck, Detmer and Atuaia are just 3 more BYU guys with no more recruiting reach than we had before.

      Let’s hope they are great at X’s and O’s, but the recruiting chops aren’t evident, yet.

      Competition as in…

      Too close to call;

      Neck and neck;

      Dead heat.

      Only to end with the wrong guy, a practice hero and unproven QB, starting and losing a game or two?

      Yeah, no thank you. Give Dampier the job now and move forward. Isaac has a lot of learning, growing and confidence building to do.

      Thanks for the correction Miami.

      I had “playoffs” on the brain.

      Oh, hell no. Let’s not make the same mistake yet again making an unproven QB and known practice hero a starter based on, in AI’s words, practice?!

      IW spends time learning, watching and applying what he’s learned in practice and garbage time. After a year he can compete for a starting role again, but not this next year.

      I think we all prefer this rumored player would be Rose, who apparently shows better in real games than in practice or in playbook quizzes.

      This is a good idea. Lud or whoever was in control, did not utilize Nate to his strengths. Beck’s system is a much better fit.

      Nate may be willing to come back in a backup QB role given his situation. And we need 3 backup QBs if I’m not mistaken.

      Hope Williams and McNair stay with the team. I assume Whitted was their primary recruiter.

      Simon came out of Texas high school as a player. Hope he can recruit well there.
