Smart kid. We will put our 2 OTs in the league after this season, so Obot will be competing for a starting position as a true freshman.

Pulo brothers have decommitted from UCLA and now show “warm” for UTES, “cool” on everyone else…

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Looks like a promising RB from Oregon. GO UTES!!!

ThurstonW started the topic UTES Land a 2026 QB! in the forum Football 1 month ago

UTES received a commitment from Michael Johnson (QB) out of Hampton, GA. He visited last weekend and looks to be a pretty good get! GO UTES!!!

Don’t worry about the 110+ summer temps… I hear it’s a DRY HEAT!!!

ThurstonW replied to the topic Speculation on this Fano tweet? What is RSNB? in the forum Football 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Does the fact that the pic is of Fano and SNOWDEN indicate anything?

I honestly believe Harlan is just as likely to go after a mediocre Junior Jazz coach…

Does anybody know when Zurbrugg will be visiting campus?

ThurstonW replied to the topic Wayshawn Parker in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago

Unless az throws substantially more NIL at him than UTAH offers, I gotta think he’ll be a UTE. He knowns the offense and exactly how he fits into it….that has to count a great deal!

ThurstonW replied to the topic Most likely to remove name from Portal? in the forum Football 7 months ago

Rose. I read that there are over 100 QBs in the portal. He hasn’t done enough to get a great NIL deal or trade up. He’d likely only have lesser options.

The bigger question is whether Whitt/team will be willing to take them back! The players are already in the driver’s seat, I’m not sure I’d be very forgiving or willing to move from shotgun…[Read more]

ThurstonW replied to the topic Honest question, who is Dampier going to throw to? in the forum Football 7 months ago

New Mexico’s top receiver is in the portal. Luke Wysong would seem like a real possibility. He has 1 year of eligibility remaining, so going with his NM OC and QB would make sense.

Based on a 9:30a KSL article, looks like it HAS happened.

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

ThurstonW replied to the topic WR Bryson Baker Commits in the forum Football 7 months 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 7 months, 1 week 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#.

ThurstonW started the topic New Recruit Additions in the forum Football 7 months, 1 week ago

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 9 months 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 12 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 12 months ago

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