Well he isn’t leaving for lack of playing time.

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.

Agreed. I’d definitely welcome him back if I were whitt and our collective, but only at the NIL he was originally given. If he wants more or else he’s gone, then let him leave.

I agree. The offensive line was about the ONLY positive on that side of the ball this season. Lomu and Fano are complete studs. Harding is a very good offensive line coach.

Yeah I ain’t begging anyone.

Didn’t Trevor bad mouth the program after he left? I vaguely remember something.

Texas has a massive NIL. I’m guessing they can easily afford to pay a punter. Schools like us must be more conservative with monies.

He committed to Texas

I saw that Boumeister is taking a visit to Texas. Not sure if they have offered him yet but would assume he is not coming back.

I think someone wanting to be his agent got in his ear telling him he could make double if he went to the TP, without any actual offers to back it up.

Jake Murphy is offering to act on these kids’ behalfs for free because of all the shadyness going on in the TP this year. “agents” taking 20-30% on deals they try to line up for these…[Read more]

If there was no consequence why wouldn’t every talented player test the market to see if they can make more. Can you imagine open free agency in the NFL. Time for a super league college football conference with contracts and salary caps.

Agree w/ this. Utah has limited resources and we just have to trust that the program allocates them in the best way possible for the team. Would love to have Calhoun back if it works out.

Hopefully, the coaches are smarter in how they allocate NIL going forward. I still don’t fault them for bringing Cam back b/c we’d be in the playoff if he…[Read more]

This – testing the market, but down deep, would rather stay if they can get that ‘value’.

I wonder how many of these players have no intentions on leaving but join the portal to get more NIL from their current team?

Every mother’s dream. Pay my son more he wants to stay. What’s next pay the moms so their sons will stay.

Some of the stuff he did seemed a little shady and under the table. Def out of the box thinker, but it’s like ‘who do we really want to get into bed with’. I’d say sportswashing (hiding human rights issues with sports funding) and private equity and venture capital will make the NIL environment even worse than it is.

Plus, I think there is a…[Read more]

I’d take him back in a heartbeat. He showed a lot of upside. He seems to have better odds than anybody else we’ve had of becoming that lockdown CB we’ve lacked over the past two years.

I’m guessing that he had a good NIL package from Utah until right before the transfer portal opened and then somebody offered him meaningfully more. Maybe we…[Read more]

He got offered twice what Utah did. Didn’t quit. Actually, he will come back if the collective matches. They got the NIL offer (sounds like tampering to me), he went back to Utah to show his ‘market’ value and they balked. Maybe it is high or above our valuation or there is trepidation based on this year and some being overpaid, underdelivered,…[Read more]

once you make your intentions known to go to the tds then bye bye……and good luck
