      Just posted this on another thread but even Salesi is calling out what a lot of us have been saying on here. Who knows really how close he even was.

        Being in the Big 12 hurts. The Utes would have landed him in the PAC

      I agree. At this point I don’t listen to any of those experts. There is just no way anyone knows the personal conversations that are happening. Even with Moa, who knows what happened. This account posted this and Moa called them out. May as well just wait to see who commits and go from there. Like Whitt says, worry about the guys on our team.

      Lots of optimism even 24 hours before the announcement.

      SEC football is a big draw but they felt like they had done enough to hang on. Utah’s NIL was where it needed to be the entire time so I don’t think that was the deciding factor and I don’t think he was being dishonest with anyone, just ended up doing what he felt was best for him.

      I think having his brother leave the state also worked against us and kinda opened the door for him to go too.

      I think you may need on to something, but I also think recruiting has become unbelievably deficient to predict (NIL being the primary factor).

      I understand from a good source that Utah was going to be his choice until the late push by Tennessee in the last 48 hours. They were on the phone with him for hours the night before he announced his decision. They told him he could play both ways, and because he would be in the SEC he would get tons of attention.

      I don’t think it was because their NIL offer was bigger than ours. The head coach and offensive coordinator worked him hard the last few days. Utah coaches apparently tried to call him the night before his announcement, but he did not answer.

      I don’t think Utah is done recruiting him. He has not signed anything yet. Can we flip him? Who knows, but this is one guy we should do everything possible to flip.

      He commented on the last thread about Moa a few days ago.

      Utah had a big turnover since Rose bowl 1 and 2. Lots of new faces. Rising won the team over with his competitive spirit and QB play. For two years he did basically nothing to help the team win games and left them in a bind financially and depth wise at QB. Anytime you under achieve the QB is going to take blame. I don’t think all the chatter in the locker was about Rising. Plenty of blame to go round starting with the coach!!
