You can bring back 1 PAC-12 era Ute to play on this year’s team, who is it?

Covey.  That kid just had a way of willing us to win.

Darren Carrington

I think Utah has the answers at LB, Safety and the Lines even if I don’t know who they are. And I have faith that the staff will eventually be able to figure out the best 11 on each side of the ball. But Utah has lacked a true gamechanger at WR, someone who demands double coverage and still makes the plays. That can be a force multiplier if employed properly.

To me, it has to be Star.

Wishnowsky or Gay… nobody else comes close.

A clean Josh Gordon.

Lots of excellent choices stated so far. Part of me would love to take an area of strength and make it absolutely dominant (e.g. add Jaylon opposite Clark or add a Dimick/Anae to the DL or a Bolles to the OL). Adding Carrington to the WR room would be awesome too. Having the best TE room in the country AND a legit double cover WR1? Ridiculous. It would also be fun to put Marcus Williams in the back with Bishop; I’m already looking forward to Nate Ritchie playing with Bishop next year, but Marcus would be insane.

Ultimately, though, given that we have not yet seen this team play, I would probably go with either Matt Gay or Hackett/Mitch. Perhaps not the flashiest choice, but no single player will be the difference in any game where we are clearly outmatched (and not sure there are any such matchups on the schedule this year) but there will be some close games this year and ST play can and often is the difference in those games. If I have one worry right now, it’s ST.

I’d go with Mitch Wishnowsky, but unsure if it’d make a huge difference if the punt blocking remains poor.

The most talented players in this era I think are Star, Jaylon Johnson, Devin Lloyd, Nate Orchard, Garrett Bolles, Marcus Williams, Mitch Wish, Matt Gay, Covey, Moss, Huntley. A few others you could throw in too for sure. 

Our alternatives at most positions are solid, except OL. Going from Kump or Falcon to Garrett Bolles is a MASSIVE change. Love Jaren and Falcon, and they could be really good, but Bolles is an NFL LT, and pretty much any team in the nation would add him today if they could. 

Add Garrett to this team and I’d feel A LOT better about our playoff hype. 

Errol Tucker

Fakahafua, sorry, Orchard.

isn’t he the most filthy pass rusher of the era?

I’d take Bolles second.  That oline was soooo amazing 

Garrett Bolles would be my first choice.  If you had Bolles at LT and moved Daniels to LG you would absolutely destroy teams and no one would touch Cam.  Second choice would be Marcus Williams because I am not sold on the FS position since we lost Vonte Davis from last year’s squad.  Plus Marcus was the best safety in our team’s history (please do not say Weddle because he didn’t play safety for us).

Give me Lloyd one more year…guy is a beast. 

Gotta go with The 4.3 Retiree. He was a big play threat every time he touched the ball.
