Ive gotta think that there will be a guy or two currently listed as a CB (especially) or a WR that gets some reps back there in fall camp for depth purposes.

Coaches poll is out....Utes at #25
Fellow Pac 12 Squads USC (4) Washington (7) and Stanford (14) also in.
First pre-season ranking since 2010. That's pretty amazing considering what we lost.
2nd in the South and a high level playmaker in Carrington had to be influential.
Well, we had a good run.
FWIW, Frank Dolce said today that Carrington should be a game-changer. Other teams will have to account for him because he's a real threat. Riley said Oregon's former QB said balls thrown to Carrington that were 50-50 balls for everyone else were 75-25 balls for Carrington.
Well, given Utah's recent history of offense, I certainly would not choose the Utes if I were a prized WR recruit.
I'm hopeful, fingers crossed, that Taylor's hiring will usher in a new era of competent offense, and thus bring in a different level of recruits.
Most notable pieces out of this morning's press release:
Darren Carrington has cleared all of his transfer paperwork and has been cleared to play.
Kendric Young has officially been moved to defense.
Nick Ford has officially been moved to offense.

Singleton practiced today! Carrington did not. Lots of shuffling on the oline. DBs had a great day. Johnston and Gay separating at kicking game. Hansen making very good progress on his recovery.

That good to see and I hope he and Vicker's get here ASAP. They are so far behind as they will have to go through acclimation period, get the play book down...etc. We'll be doing good to see them mid season.
Column in the DesNews from Doug Robinson that is drawing the ire of some prominent Ute tweeters: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...lete-myth.html
while I have some reservations about the Utes picking up Carrington, Doug's not thinking this part through:
There is a night and day difference between Willie Taggart and Kyle Whittingham. Taggart is in his first year, trying to mold a program and already faced a little controversy. If things go South with Carrington and he's a Duck, that's a serious blow to a new coach. Whitt has much more Carte Blanche due to his tenure and his record of giving players a second chance. Whitt has some wiggle toom that Taggart does not.Quote:
So the DUII arrest was one offense too many for Oregon’s new coach, Willie Taggart, and he gave Carrington the boot. That alone ought to tell you about the serious baggage this guy carries because college coaches overlook a lot of sins to have such players on their teams, especially one who is an NFL prospect and collected 1,919 receiving yards and 112 catches for Oregon.
I forget Doug is still with the D News until he writes one of these and gets everyone riled up. Really crappy Gordon Monson wanna be.
That article is so misinformed. Lol. What a hack job. He has no idea what's going on and then he starts slinging stones.
That is more cougarboard post than anything that should be in a paper.
It's a man on a soapbox flailing wildly.
