Zigziggler replied to the topic OL Transfer in the forum Football 4 months ago
Sucks, he really never was given a chance. What we need is someone that is a veteran that can help bridge or give stability to our star who is more susceptible to injury and a young quarterback who by all accounts wasn’t ready last year. I’m not saying we need a 5 star here we need a bridge. That’s all!
Zigziggler replied to the topic OL Transfer in the forum Football 4 months ago
OL is always a good get. But I think the bigger need is a Backup QB and potentially a DL piece! I did see Jacob Conover enter the portal. Once a highly regarded recruit, went on a mission, returned to BYpoo and then transferred home. ASU is now a dumpster and he is trying to get out of town. I thought he looked alright in his few opportunities…[Read more]
Zigziggler replied to the topic My (too early) look at 2024 Utah football in the forum Football 4 months ago
Completely agree! All the points you have made, appear to have been resolved by guys coming back from injury, transfer portal etc. I am really optimistic about the changes that have been made. I am also really excited about the new conference. I have no doubt that we will be there at the top, and continue to build our brand and be one more…[Read more]

Here’s hoping that the next get is Darrius Clemons out of Michigan. He is the perfect compliment and replacement for Vele.

Ja’Varrius Johnson is a 47% chance to transfer to us from Auburn. The other listed school in contention for his services is UCF. Looks like a slot receiver. What are the thoughts?
Zigziggler replied to the topic Transfer Portal Needs in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Miami…you are right! He probably isn’t looking at being a backup. He will either get some backup minutes at a bigger school or go to more of an irrelevant school and be given a starting opportunity (New Mexico). I still am a big fan of the Athan Kalamakis guy from Minnesota coming to Utah. Strictly for backup, potentially competition with…[Read more]
Zigziggler replied to the topic Any Rumors Out There as to Where Barnes is Going? in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I thought SUU was where he was going.
Zigziggler replied to the topic Transfer Portal Needs in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Casey Thompson is in portal. He is the former Nebraska quarterback that has been at FAU. He is also the brother of Kendall Thompson former ute Quarterback. He is the type of under the radar quarterback signing that solidifies that group going forward. Not needed to start but provides experience if rising goes down, as well as mentors our young…[Read more]

#5 OL

#1 WR (Need to replace Vele who was our field stretcher. Also lost considerable experienced depth.* Jeymetre Hester is out there go get him!
#2 S (Need to replace production of Vaki and Bishop)
*Kamari Ramsey UCLA
#3 QB * (Fill like an experienced back up is desperately needed)
Athan Kaliakamanis knows his role and not looking to be starter.
Zigziggler replied to the topic Utah pursuing QB Sam Leavitt from MSU in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
I think the way we have been recruiting, our max starter lifespan is 2 years. That is what we should be recruiting around. If someone that is a stud has to wait longer than two years, than we are not the right fit. If they plan on being realistically a backup than years don’t matter. We have Wilson, Becker in the fold that are supposed to be…[Read more]
Zigziggler replied to the topic Utah pursuing QB Sam Leavitt from MSU in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
We are probably needing someone like Athan Kalikmanis from Minnesota. Someone that has a bit of Gardner Minshew in him. Not expected to be long term starter but can spot start and be here for two years to bridge the gap from Rising to our young guys.
Zigziggler replied to the topic Utah pursuing QB Sam Leavitt from MSU in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
I read that as well. However if I am Sam than I’m not coming to Utah! There is to much competition for a starting spot. I think realistically we will get a good quality spot starter backup that has come to terms with the fact that he won’t be a starter. That isn’t a sexy viewpoint, but quite possibly reality. If I am Sam I am looking for a…[Read more]

Transfer Portal Goings so far…
Darrien Stewart-S
Makai Cope-WR
Bryson Barnes-QB
Owen Chambliss-LB
Jocelyn Malaska-CB
Justin Medlock-LB
Faybian Marks-CB
Kenzel Lawler-CB
Jadon Pearson-S
Mack Howard-QB
Nate Johnson-QB
The only concerning person here in my opinion is Medlock and QB situation. All unproven QB depth and really thin in the LB room.…[Read more]

So far heard a lot about who is going via transfer portal… Barnes, Howard etc. Any whisperings of who is coming? Looks like LB, WR, CB, QB, OL. Needs a veteran or new presence. Any thoughts?
Zigziggler replied to the topic What I think needs to be done with Utah football going forward in the forum Football 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I totally agree we need a deep threat! We need to be able to take the top off the defense regularly to open up the run game. Eric McAlister the WR from Texas playing at Boise State is in the portal. He is the type that we can pull and he can run it deep!
Zigziggler replied to the topic Rising and Kuithe in the forum Football 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Since we don’t know about the return of Rising and Kuithe, and there seems to be mixed reviews from fans about whether they want one or both to return. Who are the potential transfer portal guys that are rumored or set up to transfer? I also understand that the portal is very fluid, and we will be continually looking at new guys throughout the…[Read more]
