Ca’lil Valentine. Steve Bartle gave a crystal ball for him to Utah today.

247

Bad news is that top Utah player Isaiah Garcia just received a crystal ball to Stanford. While his crystal ball to Utah by Bartle still remains, it seems he is trending away from Utah to out of state.

I watch the games alone also. I even attend home games alone.

Excellent analysis. It was a pleasure to read.

My biggest worry is Rising’s health. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has at least a minor injury that either causes him to have an off game that we lose that we otherwise shouldn’t, or he misses a few games, resulting in a loss or two that normally wouldn’t be losses. But if that doesn’t happen…[Read more]

Honestly, for me it was the Rose Bowl this year. I acknowledge the other losses listed in comments before mine, but I was never really a die-hard fan previous to 2011 or so – just a casual fan. So the 2009 TCU loss, for example, was irritating to me, but not being a die-hard fan, I shrugged it off. Admittedly, the 2007 BYU 4th and 18 loss pissed…[Read more]

“Cougarboard is the most negative, hateful, and angry site I have ever seen.”
Completely agree. It is shocking how angry they are.

“They of course hate Utah and the PAC12. But, they also hate everything about Boise State, Utah State, Wyoming, SDSU, and many more.”
Also, Coastal Carolina, Memphis, and probably a few others.

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:
247 ranking
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.
