    2016 Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

    Time for this thread to get going.

    Utah picked up a commit from 3 Star OT Tucker Scott, from San Clemente in California. He is the son of former Utah O-lineman Lance Scott. He currently shows other offers from BYU, Nevada, and USU.

    This brings Utah's Class up to 5 Commits for the 2016 season:

    Mica Croom, DB, La Mirada - CA, 3 Stars
    Kahi Neves, QB, Salt Lake City - UT, 3 Stars
    Tucker Scott, OT, San Clemente - CA, 3 Stars
    Kurtis Taufa, LB, Ephraim - UT, 2 Stars
    Mitch Wishnowsky, K, Santa Barbara - CA, 0 Stars

    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.

    Lance Scott was a year behind me in school. Now I feel old.

    Utes pick up two commitments from their camp in California:

    Daevon Vigilant, a 3 star athlete out of California, shows offers from Army, CU, Michigan, Navy, WSU and the Mountain West.

    Davir Hamilton, a 3 star athlete out of California, shows offers from UCLA, WSU, CU, Illinois, and some MWC schools.

    I suspect we won't keep these guys without a tussle, but nice gets anyway.

    Yes! All my hesitations about ARod would be erased if we trotted out a two tight end set in a non goal line situation this year. We have so many decent TEs in our natural recruiting pool and almost exclusively play undersized defenses in conference- it's a natural mismatch. I'm not talking about a Stanfordesque pro style two TE set, but more like how Chip Kelly has incorporated multiple TE sets in spread concepts with the Eagles.

    Devontae Henry-Cole, RB out of Florida. His teammates are Crisrow and Hart. Had offers from a lot of schools out east. Listed on rivals as a 2 star probably due to size. He's 5'7.

    Julian Blackmon, 6'1 WR/CB out of Layton commits to the Utes: http://sports.yahoo.com/utah/footbal...lackmon-181014

    Sounds like they've offered him as a corner.

    Had offers from Idaho, Weber, and SUU, with interest from BYU, UCLA, USU, and Missouri (how much? I have no idea...I just read the profiles folks).

    FWIW the posters at UteZone are pretty excited about him.

    I haven't seen him play football but I have seen him on the hardwood a couple of times. Great athlete, I thought he was also good enough to play in some lower level basketball conferences like the Big Sky or the WCC.

    Utes pick up a commitment from Rivals 4 Star Handsome Tanielu, DT from Snow College: http://sports.yahoo.com/utah/footbal...Tanielu-173701

    Had a ton of offers from P5 schools. Seems like a real nice get. Also, jumps right to the front of the line for best name on the team. Sorry Joseph Smith, you're out.

    I really want to be excited about Tyler Huntley, but his underwhelming list of offers and the history of recruiting the QB under Kyle Whittingham and I can't get excited.

    The only possible way that I'm excited is that Erickson recruited him over the strenuous objections of Kyle Whittingham and ARod.
    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    I thought that he had a handful of good offers. I liked his tape.

    Is it against the rules to have some smart MUSS kid do an exchange semester to shadow a juco and make sure he qualifies?

    Reportedly a 4-star kid coming out of high school. Ran a 10.83 100 in high school even though he didn't train for track, just showed up and ran. 6'3" tall. Sounds good.
