Exactly. Although I think 247 is now reporting 20 transfer comits for BYU and not 16, but the average ranking for Utah’s transfers is actually higher than BYU’s.

Also, On3 has the following for BYU:

13 transfers in at an average player rating of 64.39 (I’m not sure what this rating number means, exactly, but obviously the higher the better.)…[Read more]

Love it! 6 foot 6, 250 pounds. Offers from Colorado, Washington.

Here’s Bartle’s take on his commitment:

Yep. Now let’s get Isaac’s teammate, Isaiah Garcia to commit. He is considered the number one recruit in the state and everyone, including Alabama, is after this kid.

Hopefully. I haven’t followed his recruitment much, but On3 has Oregon and USC in the lead for him, but it is an online AI-powered prediction. But I don’t know how up to date or…[Read more]

Sorry. Slight spelling error on his name. It should be Jeilani.

Could be a trap game, but I think more likely it will be a must win game. Win the game and go to the conference championship, for example. Worst case might be if the conference championship is already decided and Utah needs to win to get to a better bowl. Either case, Utah should be motivated to win the game.

Three crystal ball predictions for him to Utah, one of which is a FSU insider.

Had a hip injury that he will need to recover from.

Here’s his rating when he first commited to Oklahoma, per 247:

That shows a composite ranking of 0.9687, which is high 4-star.

Rivals had him as a 5-star:

Computer Science. Math minor.

I remember my chemistry class with Ronald Ragsdale and his assistant Jerry Driscoll. I hated chemistry, but they made it tolerable.

Looks like Faysel is transferring. With Utah’s RB room stacked deep, it makes sense that he would want transfer. He absolutely deserves a place where he can use his skills and have success. Wish him the best.

Class of ’86 for me.

Same with me. I had been going to the scrimmages since about 2013 or 2014. It was my only opportunity to see Utah football up close. The scrimmages were far more informative and entertaining than the spring game.

It’s been quite disappointing to have them shut down to the public.

I still see the occasional comment from BYU fans:
“Bradley’s knee was down.”

They won’t give it up after all these years.

LOL! I just saw this on Twitter. Apparentely, there are many signs in LES of BYU’s bowl losses, not just the one of the Las Vegas Bowl.

Friggin hypocrites.

“some Utah fans dream of the Big 10 is simply that, dreaming.”

Well according to this B1G source, Utah is at least on the list if the B1G expands in the future. Yes its a small chance but the U of U would be foolish to treat that small chance as nothing but “dreaming”.

They mentioned that Utah got the old Big Ten evaluation list – accomplish this and that over x years and we may chat again. Same stuff they have done with the likes of Kansas, Florida State and many others. Utah is on the watch list at the very least. https://t.co/dYYfGpFZfr

Looks like there just might be some real smoke to this. We’ll see.

CBS & The Athletic:

Both reporting Big 12 have had recent contact with Arizona, Arizona St, Colorado and Utah.

Conferences don’t call schools first on realignment…they do not renew talks on realignment.

Schools call first…schools renew talks.

This is not “noise”.

Ute twitter could chill a bit.

Completely agree.
