Ludwig is 61. He’s never going to be a head coach. I doubt that Scalley would keep him but you never know. We can blame Ludwig all we want but it’s likely that the offense he runs is a figment of Whitt’s imagination. By that, I mean that Whitt is probably giving Lud guidance as to what he wants out of the offense and Lud is putting together…[Read more]

USC, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Alabama, Mississippi…and Penix had not one, but two stellar years at UW. He actually had the same number of pass attempts in his first season at UW as he did during his four years at Indiana. Penix’s only injury at UW was hurting his ankle in the NCG. I have zero doubt that Cam could get picked up by a major…[Read more]

I lived in Kansas for a few years and worked with the “other” all-state RB Sander’s senior year. They were both on the Kansas team for the Kansas-Oklahoma all star game and he showed me the tape once. HS, College and even the pros he did the exact same things and made everyone else on the field look like amateurs. In my prime I don’t think I…[Read more]

Watch him stay healthy and light it up at a new program (should he choose that path). Penix had a stellar year after being perpetually injured. No reason Cam couldn’t do it.

Looking at the list of guys since 2001, I think there is a lot of truth to Chingis original post. I also can look at the list and tell you that there seems to be a real drop off after Kiel MacDonald left. Bernard was a MacDonald recruit and Glover was the last MacDonald high school recruit. What I do know, is there seemed to be a lot more…[Read more]

Whitt’s most successful QB recruits have all ended up at other positions. Off the top of my head: DeVonte Christopher, Chase Hansen, Britain Covey (technically), Brian Blechen but I know I’m missing a couple.

Nate Johnson could get himself into the league if he’d switch to receiver. JaQuinden was never the QB people wanted him to be and…[Read more]

For the kids who do the camps circuits, I think the ranking “experts” can do a pretty good job because they are actually comparing kids side by side. i.e. based on what I’ve seen so far from Wilson, low 4-star seems like they nailed his ranking. strong arm, good mobility but also some accuracy issues and he seems smaller than listed. If I’d been…[Read more]

I would still be having this conversation. This isn’t a conversation about the RB room in general. This is a conversation about HIGH SCHOOL RB recruiting not being good enough. Jackson’s presence on our team doesn’t change that, he was a transfer, and he was a QB recruit.

Did you even read my post? WTF do Gordon, Jeanty, Johnson, or Skattebo have to do with this? The only RB I even mentioned was the one that plays for Utah State. Booker, Thomas, White, and Jackson don’t factor into this conversation in the slightest. They are all transfers. This is about HIGH SCHOOL (that’s the one that comes before college, you…[Read more]

Medically, theoretically and hypothetically cleared by surgeons. Hopefully back by UCLA.

We have to have enough NIL money to get 1 really good back. I just have to believe that $ is out there somewhere. If it isn’t, we are screwed as a program.

A lot of talent? Nah. A lot of 4 star guys that should not have been 4 star guys IMO. Glover is one of the worst running backs I’ve ever seen in college. Randle was so bad that he couldn’t beat out Glover and was moved to DB. Stanley has only been used for one thing effectively, everything else they’ve tried with him has been a failure.

That list…[Read more]

It remains to be seen whether Ganther has it or not. Kind of seems like not at this point, but the jury is still out on most of his guys. Give him another year to figure it out.

Pretty sure Woods arrived at Utah with a partially torn ACL. And played his final game at Idaho on the injured knee but didn’t know the extent yet. Anyway injuries & Utah football 🤝 Sigh

I agree Steel if JJ would have stayed or should I say if we would have payed him to stay we wouldn’t be having this conversation. JJ and Bernard backfield would be unreal. Again damn NIL.

As mentioned above, many of those have been transfer RB’s. I’m talking about recruits. Yes, it is not likely that we will be able to recruit a stacked RB room like your list, but we should have a highly ranked RB in every recruiting class, or at least every other recruiting class. Yes other schools are recruiting, but most schools are pass…[Read more]

Your comment that’s a lot of talent isn’t true. We had a 230 lb running back but couldn’t pay him enough. If he would have stayed that would be a lot of talent. I thought the addition of Woods and Mitchell adding a few lbs we would be good. Hasn’t panned out. Mitchell is just a freshman so give him the benefit. At this point he is average at best…[Read more]

Because 225lb power backs grow on trees.

Utah tried in the portal but they wanted too much NIL.

You can’t be too harsh on Mitchell when he’s been hurt most of the season. He showed flashes early on before the ankle injury.
