If I were to pick freshmen that might have a big impact, I would have picked those guys as well. Fano is our highest rated recruit in this class, and Matthews/blocker/Snowden all play at positions where there is some level of uncertainty about the talent level of the returning players.

This last season we had Vaki and Barton. We have more talent coming in than ever before, but I just don’t see how any of them get a starting spot simply because of how deep our team is. We have potential spots up for grabs at WR and CB, but those will almost certainly be filled be last years back ups or incoming transfers.
Anyone disagree? I just…[Read more]

If we ever have to change it (we won’t anytime soon, the Ute tribe members love the U), I hope we just drop the nickname and go by the name of the university and that’s it. The University of Utah. That’s it.

Scalley isn’t going to be the next HC because he’s a former Ute player. He’s going to be the next HC because he is just that good.
Also, your assertion that top 15 programs don’t hire first time HCs is completely false. Ryan Day at Ohio State is one example. Dabo Swinney at Clemson is another example (I suppose you might say they weren’t a top 15…[Read more]

I would prefer to have someone like Shah be the DC, someone who has had years of experience coaching a position group at least. Weddle obviously has zero experience coaching college football, so that wouldn’t be a great idea. Shah hasn’t done the best job with the ST, but they are improving each year under him. So that is at least trending in a…[Read more]

Covey is a winner. He makes every team he joins better. Johnson is also a winner, but Covey’s leadership ability is absolutely off the charts. I knew a couple kids on Timpview High Schools team with Covey and they said the feeling in the locker room was completely different when he was there. That ability to affect locker rooms has stayed with…[Read more]

If we didn’t win another game all season, this year would still be a success in my book. We’ve already doubled our Pac12 win total from last year. That is impressive growth, and you can SEE it on the court. The players look physically different.

The top 1000? Somehow that doesn’t sound all that impressive. When you consider that most schools are bringing in around 20 guys a class, I would be more surprised if one of our scholarship recruits ISN’T a top 1000 player.

He coached for Wisconsin so we know he can teach receivers to block.

That’s what you get for having ZERO running game.

Kyle has been a great representative of the UofU. He’s never been afraid to stand up for what he believes in.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Noyes in the portal in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
To be fair we don’t know that he did give all he had. Though I agree with your general point that he really wasn’t that bad. He wasn’t reliable on long-ish field goals, and wasn’t consistent with his kick-offs, but he was a serviceable kicker.

You aren’t arguing the same thing I argued. Either you don’t get it (or much of anything else) or you are being obtuse. I didn’t take issue with his rating of the QB situation going forward, and he didn’t attempt to rate the RB group.
Furthermore, neither of those two groups lost their best player this offseason (TT was effectively lost before…[Read more]

and if Kuithe gets hurt again (pretty likely given the number of touches he likely gets next year)? There is no way you can possibly look at the TE group as a whole and suggest that next year’s group is even close to even with this last year’s group.
The TE position group is absolutely worse off without Kincaid.
The fact that anyone cares to try…[Read more]

Yeah… I’m not the one that forgot Kuithe was on the team last year. That was everyone above my initial post. He was already on the team, and played, having him next year doesn’t count as replacing Kincaid when he was already here in the first place.
I know Kuithe was Risings favorite target early on, that doesn’t make him a better player, and…[Read more]
