Participantmeh… We’ve dealt with non-existent wide receivers for over a decade now. We’ll be fine as long as the rest of the offense is good.

ParticipantI thought it was funny, but you’re right, my sarcasm may have been driven by pent up frustration at the ridiculous s**t show from the last couple of years. I can go further next time. I was really holding back…

ParticipantSounds like you disagree with my decision. Lol. I’d hate for you to make such a judgment with limited info. I’ll do you a favor and provide you with the full picture so you can make a fair judgment.
As you read in my comment, the overall secrecy of the program was a “contributing factor” in my decision. Not the only factor, nor the one that put me as you said, “over the edge.” Here are the factors that lead to my decision. Significant cost increase represented by Harlan as a smaller increase than it was (he used selective math). Kids that play Ute Conference football that left us missing multiple games per year. Difficulty bringing enough family/friends to use all four of our tickets for the games we could attend. Difficulty selling tickets for games we couldn’t attend or tickets we couldn’t use. Regression in schedule quality due to conference realignment. And yes, the secrecy. Secrecy covers the reduction of media access to practice. No more scrimmage attendance in Spring outside of Spring game. Never knowing who is playing and who isn’t until I take inventory in the first quarter, then spending the rest of the game wondering why player X isn’t playing and how long they’ll be gone. Hurt? Suspended? Other issue?
So that’s it. All the contributing reasons I dropped my tickets. I don’t regret the decision. I still attended two games last year. I bought three total tickets rather than 24. Saved a lot of money. Still watched every game more than once on tv, like I always have. Now that you have the full picture, please evaluate and let me know if I did the right thing. -

ParticipantRising, Huntley and BJ weren’t elite; they were without deficiency. So they could run everything well at the college level. Add in leadership qualities and you have a great college QB.
But I think elite is one step up; be without deficiency and also have something extra/special (accuracy, arm strength, processing). The extra/special part generates the high draft grades.

ParticipantI sort of wonder if having players play both ways is an NIL thing? I doubt defensive players bring in as much NIL (as in real NIL, not unofficial salary NIL) as offensive players, and 2-way players seem to generate a lot of buzz and fan attention.

ParticipantMan, I hope they didn’t fly to Logan. I bet that would actually be slower. Time in the air will be quick, but they’ve got to drive to and from the airports. Rice-Eccles is 15 minutes from SLC and Maverik Stadium is 10 minutes from Logan-Cache. Then there’s so much gear transfer from bus to plane to bus. Just driving Rice-Eccles to Maverik Stadium is 90 minutes.
If somebody knows for sure, I’m now curious
