The hype is justified if for no other reason than because he is expected to be RB1 for the Utah Utes. RB1 for the Utah Utes means he is expected to be a 1000+ yard rusher. There are plenty of quality options behind him, so if he wasn’t good enough to be that guy, he wouldn’t be RB1.

He definitely looks like he has more to offer than Luka Tarlac, and I don’t mean that as a slight to Tarlac. I just remember his tape when he signed on, and it wasn’t as impressive.

No Cam Rising is a bit surprising… No JJ is even more surprising though IMO. Just odd that neither of those two was even an honorable mention. I’d bet my house (if I had one) that one of those two would end up being at least honorable mention by season’s end.

I love big running backs. They are very effective in College football.

Sure, but the opposite is also true.

That’s fair. The AD certainly is the most boom or bust job in college sports. He deserves credit for everything good, and bad, which is why I don’t think he is in the top spot if we are talking positive effect. If you take the OP’s question at it’s literal meaning, then yes, he’s #1. If you understand it to mean positive effect, then I think the…[Read more]

Chris Hill also ruined the MBB program though. Overall what the positives outweigh the bad for sure, but IMO the bad things that he did knock him down a rung or two.

Along with (allegedly) ignoring reports of abuse by one of his coaches, Chris Hill is responsible for running MBB into the ground.

Think we sign a guy maybe last year that was a 4* on at least one site. I believe his name is Tao Johnson… but he is playing defense now.

Kuzma is a great representative of the UofU. He does not get talked about enough in Utah. Poeltl and Delon have also done great in the NBA.

oh man… forgot about that one. the ’19 championship game was BRUTAL. That was the last time I completely flipped out over a football game. Darn near pulled my hair out.

My experience in life has taught me that much of the time, if people are acting like jerks toward you it’s because you’ve done something to provoke it.

Is that always true? No, there are some people who are just jerks. However, most of the time, if you are respectful, people will not treat you unkindly.

At sporting events, especially at when I…[Read more]

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]
