ProudUte started the topic My future dream-team coaching staff in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
Whitt once said that he did not want to coach past age 62. He has passed that now. I think that after 20 years (this season) he may choose to retire – especially if we win the Big 12 and play in the CFP. I am happy to have Whitt stay as long as he wants. But, I believe his time here at Utah is getting close to ending. This got me thinking…[Read more]

Yergensen, thanks for the good laugh.

That’s not good. I’m sorry for him. He was trying to work his way to getting into the NFL.

ProudUte replied to the topic A look at the secondary in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
I heard Whitt when he talked about this. What about our 4-star 2023 recruit, CJ Blocker? I have not heard him mentioned. Is he in the mix?

ProudUte started the topic Sporting News mock draft incudes 5 Utes in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
It has the following projections:
– Ellis – 2nd round
– Bishop – 4th round
– Vaki – 5th round
– Laumea – 5th round
– Bills – 6th roundI think it all makes sense, except Bishop going in the 4th round. I think his prod-day showing will move him up to possibly the 2nd round. Former Ute safeties have done very well in the NFL. So they are well…[Read more]

Good article, but there was too much about Meyer. Whitt is definitely “old school” and requires toughness at every position.

ProudUte started the topic CBS Sports picks Utah as the 3rd seed in the CFP in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
I am not nearly ready to project the Utes as the third seed. There are still a number of unanswered questions about this team. However, with a healthy Rising at the helm – we could win the Big 12 and get at least a 4th seed.
I like the national attention to our Utes. That’s always a good thing.

I agree. This list does not make any sense. I like that Utah is in the conversation, but …

ProudUte replied to the topic I'm confused about our QB situation in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
My guess is that Ludwig will not make a decision on QB2 until August. The official word will be something like, “Wilson and Rose both looked good in the Spring and are neck and neck.”
By doing this, they will not lose Rose to the portal. Also, a donor may become available for Wilson at any moment, and Isaac will likely get the surgery if that happens.

ProudUte started the topic I'm confused about our QB situation in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
The link above is an article that discusses our QB situation. We all expect Rising to be healthy, and he will obviously be QB1.
What about QB2? We know how important this can be after 2023. This article and a number of interviews suggest that Isaac Wilson is in the mix to be QB2 this fall. BUT – what about Wilson’s surgery? If he…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Nm in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
Whitt did not say the injuries were serious. In fact, he implied that it was not a big deal. But, you know Whitt, he never lets the fans know what the injury status of a player is unless it is season-ending.

I read about him in a practice update from last week. He said that he felt great and was excited to be back.
I have no clue if anything happened to him in practice. Whitt didn’t say anything in his post practice interview other than there were four LBs who were currently injured.

ProudUte started the topic Coach Whitt post practice interview in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
He said some interesting things. It sounds like he has his cornerbacks picked
Today was the best practice so far
A lot of playmakers out there
Johnson is a great addition to our team and solidifies the secondary
ZV, Johnson, and Snowden are currently starters.
Tao Johnson will be a starting safety. The other safety is yet to be determined.…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic If USU can make the final 32 … in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 2 months ago
Utah State won its conference championship and made it to the final 32 after losing its coach and 13 players. If USU can rebuild in one season, we, too, “should” be able to do it.
I am not smart enough to know what we need to do, but I believe it can be done. I really thought this year would be a very good year for the Utes, with Carlsen…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Update on week two of Spring ball in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
This article talks about Pitman. A previous article said that Singer was the leader of the pack. This sounds good to me. It means that Rising will have a bunch of guys to throw including Parks, Kuithe, King, McClain and more.
Pitman has yet to live up to his potential in part because of injuries. Maybe this will be his year.

ProudUte started the topic Update on week two of Spring ball in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
Interesting article on how spring practice is progressing. A couple of points:
– Rising is looking great
– Close race for QB2. Wildon has done a great job of learning the offense.
– Pitman looks like the best WR in practice.
– Bernard appears to be RB1.
– We are loaded at tight end.I love Utah football. I hope that things fall into…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I may be in the minority in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 2 months ago
Yeah, tough to gloat when it comes to basketball. It’s like how they gloated when we lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl when they lost to UAB in the Independence Bowl. BYU has a better basketball program than we do today. I hope that changes, but we are not close right now. Yes, we beat them this season, but that was one game and not a…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic College Football Realignment Dream Scenario in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
That’s a bit out there and complicated, although I would take it.
My hope now is that Utah ends up in a two-conference (football-only) power league (likely Big 10). I actually hope that all other sports go back to regional conferences. I hope that the PAC 12 comes back as a sports conference for all sports except football. The travel issues…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic What was the announced attendance last night? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 2 months ago
I think the Red Rocks may be in the black. Basketball is in trouble. I am not sure what needs to be done other than getting a better team. Competing with the Jazz is also a problem.
