Edgemont Auto in Provo. Blake is as honest as they come. They won’t be the cheapest place, but it will be a fair price and they won’t upsell you on things you don’t actually need. I have no idea what they do/don’t do, but if they don’t do that sort of thing I would trust him to give you a recommendation for a place that does.

– We aren’t getting better if we don’t get better players – TRUE
– None of the underclassmen on the team have any shot at the NBA – Also TRUE
– A diamond-in-the-rough player is the only way we’ll get an NBA-caliber player at this point – Likely true given recent recruiting struggles. Don’t think so? Prove me wrong.

We need a deep threat to draw guys off of Kuithe. If we can nab someone like that in the portal we will be golden (assuming Cam is ready day 1 and stays healthy).

While this is the best mix of talent and experience we’ve ever had on defense, we don’t yet know who the leader of the D will be. I’m sure someone has stepped up already, but it will be…[Read more]

Not anymore excited than I was prior to the spring game. The game was 100% meaningless. No reliable information can be gleaned from the spring game. It’s just fun for fans, and somewhat helpful for players.

He had his moments, but man… pretty much every time there was a big play against our defense he was at fault in some way. I understand that comes with the territory of being the last line of defense, but when you are that guy you have to make the plays that are there to make.

Yeah… I’ll care about wr recruits when they prove they can actually catch and get open. We have only had 1 of those guys since carrington left (two if you very generously include Vele)

“When Covey joined the team all those years ago it seemed our receivers couldn’t make [catches].”

There, fixed it for you.

I can see double the carries, but not double the snaps. Bernard should be the guy on most obvious passing downs. JJ should be the guy most of the time when running is advantageous.

I get the feeling that Vaughn hasn’t quite put the technique aspect of the position together like they had hoped he would. I could be totally wrong, but it just feels like he’s getting passed up by other guys.

Hopefully, that isn’t true because a lockdown corner with his athleticism and length would be a tremendous asset. Either way, we have a…[Read more]

We won’t be better without Phillips. Vaughn has ridiculous length and he’s a great athlete, but he is very raw. Broughton is good, but he was never the shutdown guy Phillips was. If they both take substantial steps forward we might be as good as last year at that position. That isn’t likely though.

Delon was a transfer. He definitely changed things.

Wow… Two fallacies in one opening sentence, Impressive!

No. I am not saying that they are on par with the LK players you mentioned. Where did you get the idea that I was saying that?

Also, I did make an argument of my own, and refuted your bad argument.

Recruiting cycles? He’s only really had one so far. He got hired super late in his first…[Read more]

This is a terrible attempt at analogizing two completely different situations. As you point out the guys that have left are not impact players. Holt rarely played, I don’t even know who Mecham is, Saunders rarely played and is on his 3rd or 4th team now. The guys you mentioned from LK’s tenure (martinez, plummer, Larsson, Allen) were all core…[Read more]

Chris Jones is at least a good coach that had done a lot of good for the U (and the state of Utah) prior to LK hiring him.

Ugh… Seriously?

This team is ahead of schedule. That much is obvious. We took pretty much the exact roster we had last year and won 6 more games (all of those extra wins came in conference, not because of a terrible OOC schedule).

Worster, Madsen, Carlson and Stefanovic all showed clear improvement from last year. Carlson and Madsen in…[Read more]

I would laugh my butt off if he got picked that high. Dude is not a good QB. He’s fine, buthe is a less accurate cam newton.

I don’t think that is necessarily the case. The problem with the media deal (and the comparatively low money amount) may be the result of perceived instability rather than a reflection of the value of a stable pac 12.

Could a stable Big12 be worth more than a stable Pac12? Of course. Is it clear that this is the case though? Nope, there are o…[Read more]

Kuz had 30, Jakob had 23 (and 13 boards), Delon had 7 points, 11 assists, and 3 steals (IIRC).

They are all great representatives of the UofU.
