Rosen and Darnold both announced today that they’re headed to the NFL. Chaos in AZ. New QBs in So Cal. Could be a nice alignment for Utah winning the south.

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.
Man that stinks, and is a head scratcher. Here is his statement:

I think that like Jordan Fogal this past year who transferred to CSU. He could see that it is unlikely that he would be a starter and decided to go somewhere to start his final year. I doubt he is headed to USC or any other PAC 12 school. Probably MWC. I suspect we might see a few more in the coming days.
Yup. I’d bet 100% that he was told he wasn’t likely to see the field.
Also, wouldn’t surprise me if Lewis is coming in to take his place.
The real question is, when do we see all the USC transfers? They are waaaaaaay over their limit right now.
Doubt this very much. Hughes was great for the most part this year. We will miss him.
onlyU, who is clearly very closely tied to the program, posted the following on Utehub yesterday:
Blackmon and Johnson will start next year. Tyronne Smith (played above Hughes when healthy) and Guidry add depth. Always injuries but you never know how that plays out. Casey wants to play and probably deserves starting reps in a normal situation but as of today he’s a 2 at either spot and depending on development and player additions may be a 3.
I actually think Raelon is 50/50 at this point to do the same thing so we’ll see. Bronson Boyd and Covey coming back next year along with a couple of potential signings next month and the wideout position continues to add ridiculous depth. If he goes he’ll land in Texas at one of the Big 12 schools. Rae is an NFL talent without the work ethic to get there. If he ever figured that out…man he could be good. Thompson and Boyd start outside next year IMO and I think Boyd will be our top wideout. He’s that good. Singleton (if he stays), Hampton, Wilson and ? behind them.Simpkins/Covey/Nacua inside…
Asked about linebackers, he said
Best guess today:
First group – Bryant Pirtle – Jr., Cody Barton – Sr, Donovan Thompson – Jr, Chase Hansen – Sr
Then – Devin Lloyd, Karsen LijenquistTennessee Pututau (90%), Andrew Mataafa, Sione Lund (2 – 4 Stars and a 3 Star) coming in.
Wild cards:Francis Bernard (I think he ends up at Wash St but will be interesting…still a slight chance at Utah) and Izaih Filititonga HS/TX
(interesting that he has lund as an lb instead of an rb)

My only quibble with this is about Singleton's work ethic. The guy has unusually tight hamstrings and has to be very careful what he does and how long he does it.
Swish!
Ha ha. According to onlyu, looks like I was right.
I have no idea who onlyu is, but if he agreed with you that Hughes was told he would not see the field, he's dumb as rocks.
Yeah, Lund will be a LB.
We are finally set at LB.
Thompson, Hansen and Pirtle and Barton. We will be very, very good there next year.
Whitt has also talked a lot about a 3-3 front (3 DL and 3 LB). We played that more toward the end of last year and with Gary in the fold, expect to see that a lot more. Hansen as a LB in that role would be amazing.
Three people that will change our season this fall if they can put on 20 pounds: Tyler Huntley, Chase Hansen and Caleb Repp.
Ha ha. You show your ignorance my friend.
Onlyu is very, very connected and has been right about everything he’s posted, from transfers to commits to players injured, playing, etc.
If anyone is dumb as rocks, it’s not him. It’s the guy that has no clue what he is talking about then goes around calling people dumb as rocks.
From my perspective, Utah is right. I have been reading onlyu's posts all season, and he is always right (can't remember him being wrong), and always has info that only somebody with regular access to the team would have.In general, I am more wary of "very connected" posters than the regular joes. Seems like the very connected get everything filtered through the eyes of their connection.
If onlyu has always been right, though, good for him. Sounds like me
Agreed. I think onlyu is saying CH would play, but not as much as he wants to, and the minutes may go down if everybody stays healthy and a new player or two develops. If we have injuries like this year, he may have ended up playing a lot. Like Fogal, though, he wants to start.
The most interesting thing onlyu said had to do with the possibility of Singleton leaving. that really surprised me.
Chase Hansen is coming back

Doh!
Just announced that Singleton is leaving the team for family reasons. Obviously, a significant loss.
Time for some young guys to step up!

Turns out, the only thing tighter than hamstrings, are family.
here is one assessment, fwiw:
He has announced he has left the program for family reasons. While I do believe that played apart of it, I think Boyd, Thompson, and Hampton were all a major part of it seeing as how they are all 3 very talented. Also, with guys like Nacua, Simpkins, Covey (coming back), Wilson we have enough depth to take the hit. However, he was our leading receiver coming back and it sucks. I think we have to get Olave, Enis or Harrison though.
Huh. onlyu was right again. Weird.
I strongly disagree with his opinion that Lund will be a LB.........
Technically he said 50/50, so I'm only going to give you half a gloating point.
My way too early predictions for starting WR’s:
Boyd and Thompson on the outside.
Nacua and Covey on the inside.
This WR group is loaded. Just absolutely stacked. It’s crazy to look at the talent we have at that position right now.
That’s ok. But he will be right again.
Any idea what onlyu has to say about the bitcoin market?
No, but here is his comment last night about Singleton leaving:
Rae doesn’t love it here – never really did. He wants to go back to Texas which is closer to home for him. Not sure about family issues but if that’s what he said then I’ll accept that.He called Texas, Texas Tech and TCU. TCU told him no…the other two told him they would have a spot for him.Here’s my opinion on Rae…Top 3 round NFL talent. I swear he’s that good but he didn’t play the entire game because he was tired and couldn’t go. Awful…I mean awful conditioning. One of the laziest players we’ve ever had come through here. That sounds like sour grapes because he’s on his way out…not true. With his talent he should be a Carrington type guy – period and everybody sees it.I hope that a change of scenery helps him find that work ethic because if it does he is a next level guy.I said a few weeks back and Utah said it above:Thompson and Boyd outside and Simpkins, Covey and Nacua inside next year.I believe that Rae would have lost the starting role but would have played plenty. With Hampton and Wilson as the 2’s and hopefully with an addition or two in the next few weeks we are plenty deep and plenty talented. Not sure how Covey comes back this first year but he’s a gamer so he’ll be in the mix for sure.No other players that get significant time are leaving at this point.
Casey Hughes is heading to Michigan.

A couple quick thoughts....odd move to get playing time
And anyone who says there’s no contact between schools and players has their head buried in the sand.
