Thanks for putting this together. It is a fantastic analysis!

ThurstonW replied to the topic WR Bryson Baker Commits in the forum Football 2 days, 6 hours ago

Maybe he fell in love with the campus, or the academics, or he likes to ski, or he loves the mountains….

Who cares! He CHOOSE to be a UTE!!! That’s good enough for me…

ThurstonW replied to the topic New Recruit Additions in the forum Football 5 days, 20 hours ago

That’s a huge get. He was leaning Ole Miss up until today. 5’10” and 180#. Hopefully he can add 15 to 20#.

UTES got commits today from DE Pupualii Sepulona and OT Nick Hallock. Nice additions!

ThurstonW replied to the topic Utah Might Not Win Another Game This Season in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago

Unless we can hold our opponents to under 20, we’ll probably have a hard time winning. In our four P4 games this season we’ve scored 23, 22, 10, and 19. Our D seems to be sliding the wrong direction and its going to be tough to find some creative magic for our “up the gut” offense. We are in a spot…

ThurstonW replied to the topic Mana Carvalho from Hawaii commits to Utah in the forum Football 5 months ago

Sounds like Mana is not going on a mission. So he will join Utes for the 2025 season along with his older brother.

ThurstonW replied to the topic Mana Carvalho from Hawaii commits to Utah in the forum Football 5 months ago

His brother was from the 2023 class and is currently on a mission. Should be back for the 2025 season.

ThurstonW replied to the topic Mana Carvalho from Hawaii commits to Utah in the forum Football 5 months ago

He’s likely to play CB for the UTES. Good pick up!

ThurstonW replied to the topic I am hearing positive rumors about Jerome Myles in the forum Football 5 months ago

He has a Michigan visit scheduled for the end of July. Probably boils down to how much $$$ they are willing to throw at him.

ThurstonW replied to the topic 4* Alai Kalaniuvalu IOL from Bishop Gorman commits to Oregon in the forum Football 5 months ago

Knight’s open NIL wallet is the very reason I suspect Aaron Dunn will commit there as well.

ThurstonW started the topic Max Fonoimoana LB Committed!!! in the forum Football 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Max Fonoimoana, solid 3* LB out of Hawaii has committed! His older brother Brock committed a couple of years ago and is on a mission.

ThurstonW started the topic Christian Thatcher 4* LB Announces Today! in the forum Football 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Thatcher, 4-Star LB out of LV NV, will announce this evening (6pm MST). He was originally predicted as a USC commit, then UW. Now, after visiting UTAH on June 07, he has moved his announcement date up and is predicted to commit to the UTES! He’d be a fantastic get…

ThurstonW started the topic Switching Gears to Football… in the forum Football 9 months ago

Does anyone know if Dallas Vakalahi (2022 DT commit, West HS) will be back from his mission in time for this season? We are stacked at DT, but most are upper classmen. Would be good to get some promising under classmen in the system in preparation for 2025.

ThurstonW started the topic Elijah Elliss Signed in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

This one is unexpected… Any relation to Jonah?

ThurstonW started the topic TE 2-Deep for LV Bowl in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Anyone know why CJ Jacobsen isn’t on the 2-deep for the bowl game?

ThurstonW started the topic Johnson to Vandy in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

Vandy’s starter and backup QB both in transfer portal. Johnson will get his shot at competing for next year’s starting QB position, but on a team that went 2-10 this season. That’s a rough ride…

ThurstonW replied to the topic Mario Williams (USC WR) Has Entered the Portal in the forum Football 11 months, 4 weeks ago

I gotta believe that anyone jumping into the portal now, already had a verbal deal locked in.

ThurstonW started the topic New CB Commit in the forum Football 1 year ago

Latristan Thompson has committed to the UTES!!!

ThurstonW started the topic Keaton Bills in the forum Football 1 year ago

During Senior day/CU game Keaton Bills (JR) walked with the Seniors. So far, I haven’t seen anything official indicating that he has declared for the draft. Does anyone know what is going on there? Would be really nice to have him back for one more season. However, he’s clearly ready for the NFL and will represent UTAH well!
