    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.

    Nick Ford has been moved to the o-line.

    I can hear the CU coaches now. We told him he was better suited for OL and Utah said he could play DL.

    Coaches poll is out....Utes at #25

    Fellow Pac 12 Squads USC (4) Washington (7) and Stanford (14) also in.

    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.

    First pre-season ranking since 2010. That's pretty amazing considering what we lost.

    Indeed, and it sets up for some big games in the front part of our schedule.

    I thought that this might be a possibility when we showed up being picked 2nd in the South at media days. Great for the program.

    2nd in the South and a high level playmaker in Carrington had to be influential.

    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.

    It's about time we had a WR. I would say Utah has had the worst receivers in the PAC almost every season since we joined.

    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.

    Carrington per Whit was taking care of some things. As I recall I believe he had a court date in Oregon regarding his DUI yesterday. Can't say that he was there for it or it was being handled without him.

    He reached a plea deal. If he completes a diversion program the charge will be dismissed.

    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.

    Lewis is a 3 to play 2, so I wonder if he should just redshirt because he's coming in so late.

    And Vickers, as I understand it, is going to be more of a return specialist in that Shaky Smithson type role, so perhaps his climb won't be as steep.

    I am sure KW and C. Hill expected this.

    while I have some reservations about the Utes picking up Carrington, Doug's not thinking this part through:

    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.
    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.

    You're correct

    Players from Oregon even said they thought Taggart was making an example of Carrington to send a message.

    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.
