Keep in mind teams like Oklahoma and Ohio State have lost star QBs to the portal. We need to wait this thing out and see what we lose and what we get. I thought Broughton was leaving, so that’s not a huge loss IMO. Matthews leaving was an unpleasant surprise.

I am sure Whitt and the staff are working the portal as well

That makes a lot of sense. I can see college football programs hiring a general manager so the coach can focus on coaching.

We will see. Bernard went to the portal and came back last season. I hope Matthews comes back but if not – I wish him well. Saying things like he is dead to me is nonsense.

This whole thing is getting out of hand. I was not a fan of Phillips sitting out the Rosel Bowl. I get that players would sit out the Sun or Vegas Bowls. But, when you are playing for the national championship – come on – that’s crazy.

I think he plays.

It seems so strange to me to leave a prestigious school like Virginia to end up at UNM. Oh well, he is a different guy.

It’s probably our lowest number of players on the 1st/2nd teams in years. It makes sense considering the injuries we experienced this season.

I am certain Barton would have been on the list had he not been injured.

I just think Bishop should have been first team. Outside of that, I don’t see much that I disagree with.

Fixed it.

I read up a bit on Sam. He was a highly recruited QB last year. He was ranked the 78th best recruit in the 2923 class.

His dad and brother played at BYU. Does BYU have the inside track for this kid? He could start at BYU next season. That’s not happening at Utah.

My Bad!!! See my post above. I was posting about Vele.

He’s gone according to KSL. I wish him well.

I would still vote for Nix.

It seems that gone are the days when you could develop players. Everyone is looking to get on the field ASAP.

Barton’s older brother Cody, who played LB for us, did not see a ton of playing time until he was a junior if I remember right. I don’t think he was a full-time starter until he was a senior. Now he is starting in the NFL.
