If you could choose any Ute player from the PAC-12 era to play for this season only, who would you pick? What position group would shore up or make elite?

With what this team has currently, I’m torn. I would either select Bradlee Anae to provide the utes with a dominant threat off the edge, or Jaylon Johnson to play CB opposite of Phillips. I definitely think DE is more of a concern, but can you imagine what this defense would be like with 2 first-round caliber CBs? It would be a daunting task to even consider passing against the Utes at that point!

What do you all think? Who is your pick from the Ute Time Portal?

#10 Ethan Calvert and Money Parks 

Ethan Calvert, RS Freshman LB, 6-1 215

Ethan, like his older brother #14 Josh, comes to the Utes from Oaks Christian HS, but unlike his brother he avoided taking a detour to Washington.  He played in one game for the Utes in 2021.  At Oaks Christian Ethan missed senior season due to COVID restrictions, but as a junior he logged 69 tackles (2 TFL, 1 sack) and snagged 1 INT.  He also hauled in 24 catches for 350 yds (14.6 ypc) with 5 TDs for the Lions.  For these efforts he was named to the All-Ventura County team and was invited to the  Adidas All-American Bowl, the Under Armour All-American game and the Polynesian Bowl.  Scouting services rated him the 4th best inside LB prospect in the country.  As a freshman in a deep LB room, expect he will continue learning this year and make a few appearances in games.  Long term sounds like a future star for the Utes.

Money Parks, Sophomore WR,  5-10 170

Monterren (Money) is a WR from Aledo, TX, a town about 20 miles west of Fort Worth; in fact he played his junior year at All Saints Episcopal HS in Fort Worth.  He made All-State teams at both All Saints and Aledo HS. In his senior season he registered 64 receptions for 1,155 yards (18.0 ypc), cashing-in for 19 TDs. He tacked-on 235 yds on 12 kick returns (19.6 ypr) for the Bearcats.  At Utah he played in just one game in 2020, but his role was expanded somewhat playing in 12 games but only getting one catch, a 12-yard reception he banked for a TD.  Expect to see more Money flow in 2022 as Cam stretches the field and diversifies his portfolio of targets.

Says he will miss camp and the comradery with his teammates.

He participated in the scrimmage and was glad to get the reps.

KW is less hardnosed than he was when he first arrived.

Vele came out of nowhere a few years ago and now he is one of the team’s best players.  He’s excited to see what Vele can do this year.

He loves the offensive they are using.  They spread the ball around more than most teams.

He thinks that there may be more passes to the wideouts this year.

Defense held the ones to only one TD on Saturday.  But, every starter did not play or got limited reps.

He thinks O’toole has done a great job converting to defensive end.  We have a lot of depth at the defensive end.

Said his brother has graduated and is working for Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake.  He misses having his brother on the team.

It’s more difficult to prep for a team with a new coaching staff.  The team realizes that Florida has some great talent.

He saw the video with the Florida player talking smack about Utah.  It has made the rounds in the locker room.  He said it is motivation they didn’t need but will use.  When the game starts – none of the other stuff matters.  He said that the Utes will remain quiet and not respond.

He is not a big talker on the field.  He says he never initiates it.  Most of our team doesn’t talk much.

Diabate is a bit of a talker in practice and a very high-energy guy.  He is anxious to see him play against his former teammates.

Now that camp is over – they get together from 2:00 to 6:00 every day.

 

I wish Riley would let Kuithe talk more and ask less-leading questions.  However, it is still interesting to hear his perspectives.

Thanks, Ken! Excited to finally see a game in the Swamp. I hope (and think) all the Utah fans who make it down will be solid and respectful. The only thing I hope we disagree on is who wins the game. I have my Utes by about 7. I bet you have your Gators by qbout the same. Props to both squads for scheduling this as an opener.

Assuming we play 14 games again, and he stays healthy, he should easily pass for 3,000 yards and will likely pass for 3,500, give or take a few yards.

Last year, Rising passed for 2,493 yards, and that was with him not playing in the first 2.5 games other than throwing 2 passes in garbage time against Weber.

Excluding the 29 yards he passed for against Weber, and only counting the SDSU game as one half, his average per game for 11.5 games was 214 which puts him at 2,996 for 14 games. I would expect that average to increase a bit this year. He only needs 250 per game for 14 games to get to 3,500.

I think you’re referring to Kai Nacua in the Memphis brawl game. The only Anae on that TDS team was OC Robert Anae.

First, I’m not pitching for your listing or business. I’ve been a licensed broker for 25 years. I wouldn’t engage Homie. Sure their flat fee listing pitch sounds good but you get what you pay for. Most of their agents are new with minimal experience. You end up doing most of the legwork yourself after it’s listed and you damn well better hope there’s no problem that needs resolving because if they’re only getting $1,500 from you, do you think they’re really going to be devoted to you the same way a full service realtor would be? Their listings usually require additional add on fees too. Most brokers don’t like dealing with Homie listings. Sure you think you save money on the front end but you might be disappointed and frustrated by the time you finish. In this new era of real estate activity slowdowns, I’d pick a seasoned full service broker who knows what they’re doing.

I suspect that Phillips may be number one.  Rising will be in the top five and Kuithe will be right in that area too.  Obviously, Tavion will be in the top ten.  Fillinger will be in the top ten too.

USU’s QB will be in the top ten.

BYU will have Hall, Nacua, and two offensive linemen.

I predict the top five will be: Phillips, Rising, Nacua, Hall, and Kuithe.

An interesting thing happened.  This year they allowed fans to vote, but they only gave them 5% of the weight of the vote.  The interesting thing is that not one Ute made the top-ten in the fan vote.  Why?  Because the CB does a good job of promoting this kind of thing and they certainly have an anti-Ute bias.

More than ever – he wants to keep things secret.  In college football –  is releasing a depth chart required?

OnlyU’s post below implied that there may be some injuries.  But, I guess we won’t know until September 3rd.

That may have been their only loss at home, but that Samford game was a major loss in many ways.
