Did someone forget to tell him that all highly-recruited local players have to go out of state?

As a person who works for the University, in a department that touches a lot of businesses and other schools, let me tell you that the academic/scholastic benefits of the PAC12 are massive. More than I ever could have imagined.

We could lose every football and basketball game by 40 and I’d still thank God every day that we’re in the PAC12.

It does mean something…it just doesn’t mean everything.

We all know Utah doesn’t sign large classes because of our unique RM situation, and that hurts our recruiting class rankings as compared to other schools. So the graph doesn’t mean much in terms of absolute values. But it IS useful in comparing Utah’s yearly classes against each other,…[Read more]

I’m curious: Does anyone have any stats on how many 4+* kids who hold offers from their local P5 school end up going somewhere else? For example, how many 4+* kids from LA end up someplace else besides USC or UCLA? I bet it’s not a small number.

Not that we shouldn’t do better at in-state recruiting, but let’s be honest: Some kids just want to…[Read more]

Tuttle is in!

UTES SCORE! Welcome Jack Tuttle, 4 star & # 4 ranked pro style QB in country. Elite 11 finals, The Opening, SD Section POY & 1st-team all-CIF. 3,171 pass yards, 41 TD in ‘17. https://t.co/qLwotQfZ87 #UtahNSD18 #goutes pic.twitter.com/hEwOAKLHag

You should have hurried and put $100k on Utah rather than posting here. 😉

No, where you guys got screwed was on the TD that got called back. That was a horrible call.

I get what you’re saying, but I disagree on a couple of points. If you’ve never been a D1 athlete it’s hard to understand what I’m saying.
1. Unless you came out of high school with an insane amount of credit, you’re not going to graduate in three years (at least, not in a real major) while doing everything expected of you as an athlete.
2. You…[Read more]

I’ll take “overreactions to one loss to a team I hate” for $500, Alex.

We’re focused on the wrong thing. The real story here is that he felt like he had to leave school because he feared for his safety after quitting the basketball team. So BYU-P fans, being the “shining lights on a hill” they are, threatened violence or death to this kid because he wouldn’t play basketball anymore? Keep on rockin’ that righteous…[Read more]

True, but Butler has so much better guard/wing play than BYU-P it isn’t funny. Butler’s quality at other spots more than makes up for their lack of size. Can’t say that about BYU-P.

I still think this comes down to Collette, Rawson, and Jayce. If they can get Childs into foul trouble, Utah wins by 10. If not, it’s anyone’s guess.

It’s a toss-up for me.

Advantage Utah: Size. BYU-P is undersized and can’t compete down low. Expect us to pound the rock inside. If Collette and Rawson play like actual big men, they will get BYU-P’s lousy excuse for a center in foul trouble and Utah wins.

Advantage BYU-P: Home court. Their fans are so desperate to beat Utah at anything – and…[Read more]

Is that a made-up porn name, like Ron Mexico?

Have BYU-P fans started claiming that UCLA is just scared to play Montana yet?

My statement that Colorado sucks and will continue to suck has no bearing on whether I think Utah sucks or not. In fact, I didn’t even mention Utah in my post.

To quote The Dilbert Principle, “even though the dozens of past reorganizations didn’t really change anything, management is certain that this is the one that will turn us into a world-class outfit.”

Sorry, but I think Colorado is most likely going to continue sucking.

If I had a nickel for every time a pro athlete or a coach said “this is exactly where I want to be” only to make a hasty exit at the next available opportunity, I could retire.

I think most of us don’t understand what it’s like to have your commitment to your employer questioned publicly, and to have your response be public.

In other words,…[Read more]

This. It sounds like he needs some tough love.

Your wife already did what I think is the most important thing: Got rid of his video game system. Video games are the biggest unproductive waste of time in the history of mankind.

Now get rid of every other “time suck” in his life (TV, internet, social media) and give him an ultimatum and STICK TO IT.
