Speaking of the quality of the current WR corps, Yogi Roth was on ESPN 700 last week and after seeing a few practices and the spring game said that this is the best set of WRs he’s ever seen in the program. He’s been covering the PAC12 for over a decade and is fairly familiar with the program (and played WR), so that’s a positive thing.

If we should be concerned about anything at this point, it would be either team having enough positive cases that they can’t field a team on Saturday. That said, I’m sure that the Utes are taking every precaution in their power to avoid positive cases.

Any other interesting points from the luncheon that you can share?

Yogi is definitely a “hype guy” for the conference. I think that’s his job. He will gush over whomever is the strongest team(s). He has spoken openly about doing presentations before the CFP committee in behalf of whichever P12 team is the best candidate to be ranked in or near the top 4. Last year that was Oregon. This year as long as the Utes rank high (assuming they start top ten) he will hype the living daylights out of the Utes with the hope that the conference can get a CFP team.

He also speaks positive of all programs in the league, but extra will be given to the best CFP candidate week in and week out.

I have no insight into the transfer rumor, but I have heard Covey say on his weekly KALL 700 weekly interview that he and Gabe Reid are very close friends. (Gabe is Karene Reid’s older brother).
