Kid already has great size for college. Gotta think he could easily put on 25 pounds and be a great TE.

I love recruits like this because you just know the coaches see a ton of untapped potential there otherwise they wouldn’t be offering.

Oddly enough… The Kaneshiro doink game is my first favorite Utah game, because that is the game where I knew I was a Utah fan, and my first game at RES (even though I was a TSPP fan at the time as a little kid, I felt myself wanting the Utes to win, and I haven’t looked back since).

– I also really enjoyed the Cal game in SLC when Goff was…[Read more]

Walk on?

We have so many combos these days that it’s hard to say what our base unis even are.

But to answer your question I think the ones before these had the mountain sleeves, and IIRC it’s been around 2 years since we changed. I could totally be wrong about all of this though.

Objective only and not negative? I’m not sure what you mean. I didn’t claim my comment was objective. Objectivity hasn’t even been brought up (not by me anyway), and if it were I would say that objectivity isn’t a realistic expectation of a fan. I just said that I didn’t see my comment as being negative, and suggested that there is an alternative…[Read more]

Love that movie… but I disagree regarding my attitude. I don’t see my comment as negative at all. I didn’t suggest that I believed the tweet, I didn’t say anything bad about anyone or anything.

All i said is that I wouldn’t be surprised. Honestly, if you WERE surprised, I have to question your judgment. Football players get hurt all the…[Read more]

If The Oklahoma transfer kid pans out, and Pittman is healthy this team is better than last year’s team on both sides of the ball IMO… But only if Cam can get out of the habit of relying on one guy almost exclusively. If he spreads the ball around and hits open receivers instead of always looking to Kuithe first we will be good.

Our RB room…[Read more]

Bajema seems like a slightly better version of Lazar. They are almost the exact same size.

If Exacte doesn’t shoot better he’s going to have a hard time finding minutes. That isn’t a knock on him BTW, just looking at our roster we haven’t added anyone great, but the end of our bench looks infinitely better than it has for years now. We now have at least 11 guys that I would be comfortable playing if I were coach.

I would LOVE IT if we…[Read more]

Relax friend. Your post wasn’t bad, I just found it a tad ironic, thats all. You are one of the few posters that keep this place alive when it isn’t football season.

How is this post any different?

Yep, the way our offense is run, and the way Rising plays, there simply aren’t enough touches for the second wide receiver (or 3rd) to get more than 500 yards receiving in a season. I don’t think Kuithe cames back if he doesn’t believe he’s going to be option number 1 on virtually every passing down.

I almost said Parks as well, but when you look at his stats, it’s hard to imagine he’ll be more productive than he was last year when you consider the other guys. He had over 400 yards of receiving. It is certainly possible to eclipse that mark, but I kind of hope he doesn’t, as long as that means others are getting more touches (Vele, Pittman,…[Read more]

My out of the box breakout player prediction #1: Miki Suguturaga – I don’t think he’ll play a ton (unless someone gets hurt, which is honestly quite likely), but I think he’ll be used in short yardage and redzone situations and he’ll catch a handful of very important balls (several TDs) on simple routes that the defense is not expecting.

#2:…[Read more]

I like the Medlock prediction. Karene Reid just isn’t quite cutting it athletically IMO. Medlock would be great.

Jordan Wynn… If there is a name that reminds me that I am not a spring chicken anymore, it’s that one. Feels like he was here sooooo long ago, but it hasn’t been that long.

Our bench was pretty shallow last year, and that is being kind. This year it should be improved. We added Lovering, Erickson, Bajema, Smith and Whalin. We also have Exacte, Keita, and Tarlac returning. All of those guys are playable (with the exception of maybe Whalin since he just got off his mission and who knows what condition his game/body is…[Read more]

I don’t know… In many ways we’d have a better shot at the playoff, and this could be enticing to recruits not good enough to play for blue bloods. We rarely compete with those teams for recruits anyway.
