    It'd be funny if the Utes trolled these guys just a little and added them to their combine invites poster.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Especially if it is the picture of Asiata throwing Stevie T right on his ass during the game-winning play.

    I love hype machines. ASU is getting all sorts of hype with their QB transfer from Alabama and Utah gets nothing on Bateman.

    Sounds like they're keeping fans and media out of a fair amount of practices this spring.

    With the changes coming on offense I'm not surprised

    Utah football roster interesting tidbits:

    Repp is a DE. As is Davr Hamilton.
    Fun to have a Kruger back on the DL.
    Cooper Bateman is a QB.
    McCormick and Nacua are WR's.

    Repp has elite skills at DE. He has potential to be an amazing pass rusher. Can he put on weight to realize his potential? Will he ever be anything other than a pass rusher?

    Davr Hamilton at DE? Interesting. I'd be it's because of the 5-1 front Scalley wants to run. Having versatility at DE/OLB would help you quickly go from a 5-1 to a 4-3 to a 3-4.

    I think our QB will be Bateman or Williams. I think the coaches want one of those two to win the job with the tough schedule in 2017. The schedule is much easier in 2018 with Rosen, Browning, Darnold, Falk all graduating/leaving. Better to have an all out QB fight on their hands then with Tuttle, Huntley and Shelley. That doesn't mean Huntley doesn't win the job, but that's not the plan.

    WR group is so interesting. We return Young, Wilson, Singleton and Simpkins. We also add Dana, have Fulks, Hamilton, Thompson and Dixon. McCormick making the switch is telling as well. Same with Nacua. We have talent there. What can Taylor and Holliday do with that talent? I also wonder with the switches if they will sub WR's a lot. Or if this just means we need more WR's. If Dana, McCormick and Nacua can get minutes with our returners, that gives us 7 WR's. More 4/5 WR sets?

    Tyrone Smith also moves to CB. That is exciting.

    I think it comes down to this: Spring ball is 100% about the QB's and WR's and OL. Our DL is set, our LB'ers are set, our CB's won't all be here until the fall.

    Can Bateman win the job in the spring? He sure thinks he can. What WR's step up? We have talent at OL. Who steps up to start?

    Yeah, he was recruited as a DE but didn't get weight on fast enough and we needed WR's. He is trying to bulk up and play DE.

    Garrett Bolles with the second fastest 40 yard dash for an O-lineman (4.95), the best broad jump (115 inches), the best three cone drill (7.29 seconds), second best 20 yard shuffle (4.55).

    Joe Williams with the second fastest 40 overall (4.41), and fourth highest broad jump (125 inches).
    and Issac Asiata with the most reps on bench (35!).

    Jets are said to have met with him and be really intrigued with him. They own the #6 pick.

    #6?!?!

    That's a little early, imho, but good for Joe Williams.

    I'msu
    I'm sure he was talking about Bolles and I'm sure you know that.

    If Joe didn't "retire" and didn't have his off field issues, where would he go in the draft? I think Joe ends up being the steal of the draft.

    The NFL combine joins Stanford and BYU on the list of things owned by Utah football.

    There is a good chance our starting CB's won't even get here until fall. I don't know if that is good or terrible. Great opportunity for Smith, Blackmon and Burgess.

    What do you mean by this? Are there grade issues that could keep them off campus all summer?

    No, nothing like that. I just said fall because that is when pads come back on. Johnson and Guidry are high school kids that won't be here until summer and Lewis is a JC guy who won't be here until summer. All three have tons of potential. Johnson is Bolles level talent. He has an amazing chance to start from day one.

    If I had to pick today, I'd say Johnson and Smith start at outside CB's and NB is Burgess come game one. With Ballard and Hansen at safety and Luafatasaga and Tauteoli at LB with Blair pulling a Luafatasaga and ends up starting over Tauteoli by the end of the year.
