Official UofU homer thread

I was so puzzled that Hackett signed with NY considering they drafted a punter ahead of him. You'd think there's a team out there not in love with their current Punter that is willing to bring Hackett into camp. Why go into a camp to face off with a Punter that was drafted ahead of you?

I'm really torn on this. Hackett is one of my all-time favorite Utes and I want to see him have a great NFL career. But as a Dolphin fan, I'm not really stoked about the idea of watching Hackett in a Jet uni run for 1st downs on fakes and blowing up our punt returners when he's the last man to beat for the next 12 years.

I had high hopes for him. I hope he has nothing but success wherever he goes. Maybe he can be the Lillard.

Well, he's got a ways to go if last year was any indication. Freshman year was so promising, he looked like he could make a jump his sophomore year. Just never happened.

But yeah best of luck to him.
 
All the best to Chapman, he was pretty useless last year though..hope he finds tons of success at his next stop as long as it's not at the detriment of the a Utes...did they put a restriction on where he could transfer?
 
I hate when people say oh he's soft and afraid of competition when a guy transfers, not talking about Chapman in particular but these guys only have 4 years to play a game that 95% of them won't play after college....get the best of out of your 4 years

Apparently he can't go to another pac-12 school. I didn't know they put restrictions like that but I guess it makes sense.

I agree, we don't know exactly what went on we can only speculate, but at the end of the day you got to do only what's best for yourself.
 
Weber State wouldn't be a bad landing spot for Chapman......they seem to develop players well......but I bet Steve Fisher has been all over dude since the news broke that he is transferring. He'll play point guard for San Diego State. I swear San Diego State only recruits that same body type for every position; Skinny, long 6'8", 6'9" or 6'10". All their guys show signs of being good and have some skills, but are kind of hit and miss. Can kind of shoot, kind of not. That's their prototype. That's Chapman. Done deal. Champman to SDSU, you heard it here first.

Eh. He's always been Hill's replacement. What was once a "come back in 5 years" has now become "it's yours in a couple years" so he decided to stay.

Happens everyday. Not a big deal.

Yeah, it happens every day where somebody accepts a job, has a conference introducing them, and then a week later they come up with the crappy excuse of "housing costs are too high, I gotta back out".

You really are the biggest Utah homer in the world.

Deandre Jordan
Boozer
Urban Meyer
Chip Kelly
Rick Majerus

Those came off the top of my head in 30 seconds.

It happens everyday. Everyday there are deals to hire/keep a guy and someone comes in at the last minute to offer something better. It's called life. It's ok. It's not a big deal.

Your excitement to call me a homer clouds reality.

Kyle Brennan is an epic douche.

His son has leukemia. He probably did want the job badly. It probably was a great opportunity for him. He then probably realized that there is nothing even close to on par with Primary Children's in Bozeman. He had a change of heart and ultimately did what was best for his family. What a douche, huh?

Jordan got ripped for it too, didn't he? But he never signed a contract either, did he?

The other ones don't have similar situations either. Bad showing from Brennan.
