      Great! I only heard about this guy today on the Blockcast podcast. He should be a great depth piece and looks to have the size/talent to make some plays for us this year.

      I sure hope his lack of production at his last spot was due to injury or some other non-football reason, because his production thus far is not inspiring confidence. Nice to have another guy I guess.

          I don’t see this as negativity. It’s just the reality. Do you honestly think I’m wrong? He was at VT for two years and had a total of 128 yards. The next year, in a muuuuuch lower division of football, he had 285 yards. His YPC was quite good at around 6, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll do that here.

          It’s just like someone else (I forget who) said in another recent threat. The best predictor of future success is past performance. Like I said, it’s nice to have another guy, but I’m not expecting much out of someone who didn’t touch the ball much at either of his previous 2 schools.

          If that was because of injury, and not ability, then great, we are getting a good player if healthy.

          I essentially restated everything I said in my initial comment. How is any of that negative? I’m not whining. I’m not predicting doom and gloom. I’m just interpreting what I see on paper.

            You choose to view the world as argumentative. It’s a very negative outlook.

            Being positive or being negative doesn’t make someone more right or more wrong.

            You’re simply negative. You can be positive, correct and real.

              I mean after the last two seasons you can’t fault anyone being realistic instead of being overly optimistic.

              One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Maybe he becomes the next Tavion Thomas (minus the psychological issues), or maybe he just has a cup of coffee with the Utes. I will say the fact that he transferred so late in the game and was available to Utah definitely means that all of the traditional football powers passed on the guy.

            He’s coming in as a depth piece nothing more. At best he’s Utah’s Short yardage back at 210lbs

            But I’m sorry you’re so bummed that Jeremiyah Love Notre Dame RB and top returning RB in CFB in 25 didn’t decide to transfer to Utah to be RB5

            Are you this negative in every aspect of your life?

            Maybe reevaluate your priorities or just get over yourself.

          Is that not a valid concern?

          Would you be happy if he said everything is awesome?
