Rick replied to the topic In a perfect world, but it ain't perfect. in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months ago
Robo,
Cam has no serious NFL future? I disagree. He may not have some physical measurements – height, arm strength; but what else is he missing? I don’t think he’s a high draft pick – Hell, I don’t know if he’ll be drafted; but I think he’s an NFL quarterback. I think he can make a nice living for a while as a back up/some time starter. I think…[Read more] -
Rick replied to the topic Utah's QB dilemma in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months ago
I think that I’m going to trust the coaches on this matter. I somewhat enjoy all of the conjecture and second-guessing on this thread. I think most of you are thoughtful in your opinions; but I just keep having this thought in my mind – “We’re talking about Cam Rising.” Scott Mitchell refers to Rising as the GOAT quarterback for the University of…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Finally watching Weber game for the first time. Nate Johnson is good. in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months ago
Nate was on 1280 – I think – this afternoon talking about the game. Mitchell asked him about a particular play where he threw to Money Parks. It was a read play where both the QB and the receiver needed to read safeties and corners. Money broke to the outside downfield right as Nate threw the ball down the seam. Mitchell said that if Money had run…[Read more]

Fair enough Miami. I’m just sharing my perspective. Hopefully all of this back and forth is for naught and Cam comes back this week.

Miami
To use your word – I absolutely believe Kyle and the staff “war-gamed” the situation. And I think it’s working out. They decided to let the talent in the room emerge while Cam rehabilitated his injury. While it hasn’t been pretty, Utah is 3-0 and Nate Johnson is getting valuable reps against strong competition (I include Weber). I do think…[Read more] -
Rick replied to the topic We got away with a PI there at the end in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
I agree with the Baylor radio call. Contact from both players and nothing egregious. Good no call.

Rick replied to the topic Juddy in the forum Basketball (Women) 1 year, 9 months ago
Terrific move by Coach Roberts. I’d heard Juddy was hoping to have a little more to do. He never moved down to Provo so he still lives on the edge of the Olympus Cove.
I do wish he was doing this for the men’s team. They are in so much need of player development. I can personally attest to Juddy’s ability to teach shooting. That may seem obvious…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Thoughts on Utah vs Florida OL/DL? in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
It will be a critical match up. I do worry, like you, that our ends are a little undersized. As you said, Fillinger has gotten bigger and Fano will over the next few years. The other ends will be match ups of speed versus size – O’Toole and Ellis in particular.
But that doesn’t factor in the impact of our tackles. I don’t care who it is, I like…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic Isaac Wilson in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
Wilson won me over last season in a loss – I think to Lehi. I was happy to see Lehi win because Corner Canyon is such a juggernaut; but Wilson’s playmaking and competitiveness in that game was remarkable. The kid simply wouldn’t quit and nearly brought them back for a win. I hope to get to a few Corner Canyon games this year to watch Wilson,…[Read more]

Rick replied to the topic A few camp notes in the forum Football 1 year, 9 months ago
I don’t know that I ever doubted our safety play coming into this year. I simply felt we had enough with developing depth. Bishop, Vaki and Ritchie are all players who combine physicality, athleticism and intelligence.
I want to see the growth we all hope for/anticipate in the defensive line. They appear loaded. I don’t worry about the tackles…[Read more]

Rick started the topic Hunter Erickson… in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 years, 4 months ago
I attended the CSI/SLCC game this afternoon – the #2 and #4 NJCAA teams in the country. CSI controlled the game from midway through the first half to the end. The Bruins had a few opportunities to whittle the lead and perhaps gain control but couldn’t quite break through. Both teams have strong talent and could do well in the postseason.
As many…[Read more]

Rick started the topic Impact Players in the forum Football 4 years, 4 months ago
Yes it’s early but who impacts on the field this fall from the class that became official today?
I can see linebackers Tufaga and Calvert, Stewart at safety (perhaps even Bishop given the depth and mission situation, Curry and Pledger at Running back and Brewer at Quarterback – although I’m hoping Rising earns the position.
Parks sure looks like…[Read more] -
Rick started the topic Scalley's response… in the forum Football 4 years, 11 months ago
Scalley’s response was terrific in the presser just now. It’s exactly what I expected from him – humble, contrite, poised to learn from his mistakes and become part of the solution.
Sure there will be some ups and downs for the program – and for him – as a result of this; but I think there will be far more positives and everyone associated with…[Read more] -
