That would be nice, but I don’t think we NEED more OL depth.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic The question none of us want to ask in the forum Football 3 months ago
We could indeed use a bruiser back, but I think we might have a guy or two on the team already that can fill that hole.
I think you are making faulty assumptions about the offensive philosophy. You seem to be suggesting that we haven’t spread the ball around in the past under Ludwig, and that is incorrect. Last year’s philosophy was out of…[Read more]

what are the odds both Cam and Kuithe make it through this year without another season-ending (or at least ruining) injury?
We’ll be lucky if even one of them makes it through the season without missing more than a game or two… and THAT is this team’s biggest question mark by far. If Rising goes down, our offense might do even worse than it did…[Read more]

I believe it will be easier to nab a decent backup QB from the portal after spring ball. I’m sure there will be guys that are at least looking for chances to move up on the depth chart.

I was disappointed when I went to Utah Red Zone. There wasn’t much variety in the selection, and the majority of the stuff was ugly and/or poor quality.
The coaches seem to have a bunch of great stuff that simply isn’t available to everyone else. Bizarre.

nothing wrong with snapback hats. They are the cool thing these days.

only down three of our starters. I can’t believe this team can’t win with 60% of its starting lineup out, must be because Smith is a terrible coach. /s

that seems like a good idea assuming Apo knows what he is doing.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Wide receiver trainer for Utes in the forum Football 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Meh… no clue if he knows how to train. He was a massive disappointment at TSPP, and IIRC he isn’t on good terms with them.
The only thing that would make this a good hire is if he has a good relationship with recruits we want that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to get.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Keba Keita draft prospects. in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Wingspan is not a reliable indicator of “the vertical element” either. Standing reach is better (height plus arm length rather than just arm length). A 6!ft 8 guy with a 7 ft 4 wingspan is not going to be able to reach as high as a 7 ft guy with the same wingspan.
Where are you getting those numbers for keita?

For an NBA player his athleticism is average or less.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Keba Keita draft prospects. in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 months, 2 weeks ago
He’s very athletic. I’m not going to label him an athletic freak by NBA standards just yet because I don’t know what his numbers are. Athletically he has what it takes to play in the NBA at his size. I’ll leave it at that. He has decent shooting form. To be a good shooter you need good/consistent form and confidence in that form. Keita has decent…[Read more]
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Did Utah meet its needs in Portal in the forum Football 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I don’t think we can say for sure at the moment. I think we got one guy at the 4 positions mentioned in the article who will DEFINITELY help us in Singer. The others are all promising additions that will likely be good depth pieces at the very least.
We haven’t picked up a solid backup QB at this point, but that honestly seems like kind of an…[Read more]

I don’t think this situation, and the situations you are referring to are analogous. I believe it will be quite different when a coach retires, leaving his protege in charge. I have no reason to believe that other than my own common sense.

That is awesome. Like I said in the other Singer post, we’ll know for sure at the end of this year (assuming he stays healthy) if our WR issue is talent/scheme/coaching.
We know Singer is talented. We know he can catch the ball.
Another note – It will be great to have a legit deep threat on the team. That could help our run game in a very big way.
chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Dorian Singer officially a Ute! in the forum Football 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I guess we’ll know once and for all after this next year if our lack of production at WR is a talent issue or a scheme issue (assuming everyone stays healthy). We now have at least one guy who

Yep. We want to win as many games as we possibly can. If we win our conference, we get into the playoff. The strength of our schedule means very little now.

If so, that is very good for us.
