First, Andre is on par with Drexler and Ewing. Next, Ewing or Drexler were head coaches, I think the rumor was Andre as an assistant which it a mountain less risk. Goodness knows how good he could be but I think he has earned the chance to try to help someone coach. Burgess seemed to earn the chance and he can’t carry Andre’s jock in any twist…[Read more]

Kids like Britain Covey and Lander Barton wouldn’t have left Utah for a big payday. I’m not saying this Myles kid is the same. But there’s typically a stronger tie to SLC for the local kids.

why do we care if he’s committed to Ole Miss. He could de-commit and go elsewhere or to Utah, but why care if hes a 5-star if he ain’t coming to Utah. Let’s focus on others who we can get close to that star rating.

I’m sure all of the irresponsible people will start acting responsibly because of the big statue.

You’d like to think so. However, I believe, the money would have to be pretty equal to retain even a local kid. I mean, if Utah offers you $250K but say, USC or Oregon, offers you $500K, I don’t know of anyone who would stay at Utah.

I think what his “deal” is, is just a handshake agreement and you could see anything get taken away at anytime. Obviously I don’t know exact details but just reading about how Jaden Rashada’s NIL deal went down I have to think other players are seeing similar things happen on a much smaller scale.

I feel like thats the point of paying 100k first year because most of them, especially in the SEC, wont end up starting. They have so many 5 stars on their roster, the competition is fierce.

Here is an interesting take:
Let’s say you are a coach of Ole Miss. This kid plays his FR year, gets his $100,000. Come time for sophomore year, he is due $700,000 if he starts. Sure, he is good enough to start, but you have a couple other WR’s who aren’t as good, but almost as good.
Do you start them over this kid so he doesn’t get the…[Read more]

It’s ugly. It’s a waste of money. It doesn’t actually help anything.
Sounds like something some rich douche would love to tell everyone how awesome he was because he (or she or they) made it happen. lol.

I’d seen Twitter rumors about the Miller things. None of it was ever explicit or details, but putting two and two together seemed like he’d be an assistant on the staff.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. It may have made some boosters happy. That’s probably the biggest plus and galvanizing of our NIL.
As for recruiting, I have no idea what kind…[Read more]

I agree with your sentiment, but I neither like the design or the name.

I wasn’t aware that the Andre Miller thing was anything more than an article from local news – was there traction to hire him as coach?

It would be nice to see something other than a new temple. I kid… I kid (but not really).
AZUTE replied to the topic Ezra Ausar Crystal Ball in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 days, 2 hours ago
Utah basketball is an absolute train wreck right now. Don’t be surprised if Smith has trouble filling all the spots available and the available coaching position.
There is a lot of infighting going on between all parties involved and the hiring of Andre Miller which was an absolute lock as of last week is now not gonna happen.
It’s bad fol…[Read more]

The list of 5 stars that were busts at the college level is pretty extensive. There really is no guarantee of success. The other thing is that let’s say that he went to Utah and set the world on fire in his freshman season. Do you really think that Utah would be able to retain him when a B1G or SEC power came calling?
Ute Dub replied to the topic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerome Myles in the forum Football 4 days, 3 hours ago
But if he sucks, can Ole Miss just walk back it’s $700k for year two?
Ute Dub replied to the topic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerome Myles in the forum Football 4 days, 3 hours ago
5 stars usually play.
Rick Walker replied to the topic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerome Myles in the forum Football 4 days, 3 hours ago
He was “committed” to the Utes but hadn’t made it official on twitter by announcing it. He was a “silent commitment” as they keep saying. I guess he was holding off his commitment until after some official visits but decided after his Ole Miss visit he wanted to commit there
The Miami Ute replied to the topic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerome Myles in the forum Football 4 days, 3 hours ago
Yawn… he’ll be there one season, get little to no action and enter the portal at the end of the year. As I’ve said in other postings, it’s hard for me to get excited about anyone that hasn’t played a down of college football.
