I heard UM reached out with a $1M NIL offer 😉 jk

I think more then depth. He likely will start. He did so for Stanford and was honorable mention PAC12. He’s coming to Utah to get our top-notch development at these positions and polish off his resume to get drafted.

Feeling a whole lot better about the DB room. Seemed like that was a weak spot with NFL, transfers, etc. Now it is really solid with strength at the top and depth to deal with any injuries.

Am I mis-remembering that Elliss wasn’t even going to be a starter? Injuries put him in there and he took advantage and turned into an AA. Amazing. You never know which DE all of a sudden pops into national awards.

Or taking a sick week and ‘starting’ classes late (depends if he’s registered or not) … do those that enter the portal have to get approval from the leadership council to be allowed to return?

So, we’ll see him Sep 14th … time to bolster the sack stats
DataUte replied to the topic Interesting video from Josh Pate in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago
I think going to a bowl (non-CFP, even some NY6, which will become CFP, so problem solved there) just gives extra practice time which is good. Used to be a reward and players were excited about it. Now it’s just opt-out city. Sometimes it’s even hard to field a team. Most of the early ones are G5 v G5, so almost like a different division (which is…[Read more]

LB Medlock did end up at SMU however.
CB JaTravis Broughton McCloud (not sure the reason, but probably a mom/dad thing?) projected to go to TCU.
DataUte replied to the topic Ja'Quinden Jackson in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago
Maybe he has a former teammate or friend there? Or a coach from the past? I would hope – going cold to a new team could be tough and there was some talk he wanted to be closer to home. I mean, he will be a little closer and a little warmer, but :shrug:

Speaking of Dorian – should we offer him?
DataUte replied to the topic IT'S GAME DAY!!!!! in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months, 1 week ago
You do know our team has Keba Keita, Deivon Smith, and Exacte (if he gets back on the court) that are all solid contributors, right? Then 2 7-footers and add in Madsen and Worster. If anything, this game was an indication we need to get better as using our size advantage, esp. against a team that starts 4 guards. They got hot and busted the zone…[Read more]
DataUte replied to the topic Any word on Taeshaun Lyons (or other potential transfers) in the forum Football 4 months, 1 week ago
Only thumbs down because although he could help the WR room, after TJ and AL and too many 2nd chances for Tavion creating all sorts of chaos, not sure if we really would want Bridges around.

DataUte replied to the topic NIL Valuation vs Actual Earnings in the forum Misc 4 months, 2 weeks ago
See, I think about it opposite – they keep most of the deals secret because they aren’t really as much as they say they are (or ignore that it’s taxed, etc.) to keep driving ‘prices’ up. More of a pride thing and to keep the market inflated.
Maybe boosters are paying these as NIL for little in return. I think they were paying (maybe not this…[Read more]
DataUte replied to the topic Potential 2024 2-deep in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Great insights. That’s good to hear that we have depth enough to push the 1’s or have good rotations to keep players fresh (or overcome some injuries). Especially good that OL, TE, DL, and even secondary have that. Seems like we have enough S/CB starters with 1-2 that are practically the same level, but would be nice to have a little more depth in…[Read more]

I think there’s questions around both Pittman and Curry. Not sure the answer to either.
DataUte started the topic Future basketball roster in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I think there are 7 seniors on the team, but only Bajema and Carlson (Brandon) are out of eligibility (have played 5 years with the free covid years). Is that correct? Ben Carlson, Erickson (which I guess is poo poo?), Madsen, Smith, and Worster can return for 1 more year?
