 Utah fans undoubtedly despise the Ducks, and with good reason. Oregon has spoiled Utah’s hopes on the national stage on several occasions over the past several years in both men’s basketball and football.

So what? Join the club. Everybody cries for the head of the king but Utah’s fanboy obsession with taking down Mighty Oregon is awkward and weird — like taking your sister to prom.

I don’t understand this opening.  I don’t feel like our fan base despises Oregon anything beyond typical conference level stuff.  We despise ASU.  Beyond that, I’d say it depends on who you ask. USC would probably be next, but everyone is like that with USC. 

Am I wrong?  This isn’t Kentucky of the 90s.

We’re still in the mix with Kingsley, but he’s a heavy Oregon lean.  He’s good friends with Penei Sewell and someone else on Oregon’s team. 

There are a bunch of 4* that we are in the mix for, some of which we are favored to land.  Weird recruiting season, and there is still plenty of time for things to change in either direction.

Bentley posted the same thing on his Twitter account.  Some are showing support without actually holding out…

I’d link the Tweet, but I don’t know how…

Brent Pennington left a comment that he has a lot of respect for Coach Willingham.

My response…

Everyone in the conference uses that as subtle smack talk.  I’m sure it was on purpose.

He’s a 4* according to the 247 ratings, and those are more accurate.  Composite is just them gathering ratings from all around the internet, and averaging them out.  The experts for 247 actually put in the work to get relatively accurate ratings.

That’s why it was taken off his Twitter so quickly thereafter.  There was a miscommunication,  and he wasn’t officially given an offer.  Utah must have reached out and shown interest, but no official offer.

I was going to bring this up as well, but I wasn’t sure how widely known it was, and I got the info off of a pay site.

If the season gets cancelled and that player enters the draft, then we use up an initial for zero reason.  He also eats reps up for the younger players however you look at it.  I just don’t see us completing a 2020 season , so I’d rather plan for 2021 than 2020.
