UtahMan17 replied to the topic NIL – some odd thoughts. in the forum Football 7 months, 1 week ago
Really does seem like the field is evening out. TCU beating Michigan to get into the title game? Utah winning Pac-12 back to back? Alabama falling back to the pack as just another top 15 team? Colorado going from a joke to competitive in one season? NIL may have some drawbacks but it’s getting more money to the players and parity is increased so…[Read more]

We’re 4-0 and just locked in our best recruiting class of all time. I think they’re doing fine.
UtahMan17 replied to the topic Recruiting in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Will be difficult to recruit as well in Texas as we do in California, imo. Culturally the CA kids are open to wherever if the big Pac12 powers don’t want them, while Texas kids would rather go to TCU, Arkansas, Texas Tech, etc. over a school like Utah. Texas will be huge of course, and we have to hit it hard, but we really have to keep working the…[Read more]
UtahMan17 replied to the topic Level of excitement? in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
We’re one of only, what, 20? 25 undefeated teams left in the nation, have one of the deepest and talented rosters we’ve ever had, just beat two solid P5 programs out of conference to open the year, have one of the best coaches in the country, and are about to get back our All-Conference QB. Yeah I’m pretty excited.
UtahMan17 replied to the topic Nate Johnson / Tyler Huntley in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Huntley was a very accurate pro style QB who could escape with his legs when needed. Johnson is a mobile QB with elite athleticism who needs to develop as a passer. They’re pretty different.
UtahMan17 replied to the topic Bryson Barnes in the forum Football 8 months, 4 weeks ago
Bryson Barnes may or may not prove to be a high level starting QB. But I’d just like to point out that Georgia was having this exact same conversation about Stetson Bennet right up until he led them to a national title.
Bryson has some legit natural ability (state champ in multiple sports, set some state QB records, legit track times, decent…[Read more]

What is your worry? That because a student has to take a gender studies class their freshman year or sees a tampon in a bathroom they’ll be helpless to becoming a democrat?
UtahMan17 replied to the topic Any Ute fan that thinks we'll dominate the Big12 year one in the forum Football 9 months ago
This is a straw man argument. Who is saying we’ll dominate? Why do you invent things to be argue about?

Who was it that kicked the crap out of USC and Oregon in back to back Pac12 title games at neutral sites?

What I’ve heard…
1. Biggest Sigh Of Relief – Charlie Brewer. He looks accurate, confident, decisive. Clear front runner even vs what Rising did in practice. He’s no Bentley.
2. Biggest Surprise – Bryson Barnes. Walk-on QB who has shown a lot of improvement and is legitimately competing for the #2 spot right now. However Costelli looks better…[Read more]

Removed his commitment tweet and there’s no Utah references on his twitter…is this kid already backing out on us like he did UW?
UtahMan17 started the topic Velltray Jefferson in the forum Football 3 years, 3 months ago
Word is Velltray Jefferson is already out. Apparently he was homesick and is looking to head to Fresno State.
All Utah stuff is gone from his twitter, even older posts. Man, he was one of my favorite players in this years class, so much potential. Oh well, at least we have a million other LBs and DEs in the program. We’ll be all right.
UtahMan17 started the topic Velltray Jefferson Crystal Balls Rolling In in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago
THIS is the kind of athlete we need to get. Where ever he ends up he has GREAT potential, but I think he could be an NFL type DE or LB depending on how he develops…Love Reynolds, Tufaga, and Elliss…but Jefferson’s ceiling is higher than any of them. REALLY hope these predictions are right!
