Official UofU homer thread

So McCoy Hill is starting for SUU apparently......remember who was his QB whisperer in high school? Former Jazzfanz poster "Conan".....you guys are toast.
 
The Utes are the ones with the really quick/shift soph Wr? I forget his name but I really liked him last year as a frosh.

Or was he a Cougar?

Britain Covey, kid was terrific, but he's on a 2 year mission now which really sucks since WR figures to be our weakest position this year
 
Where ESPN ranked us position wise in the pac-12
O-Line: 2nd
QB: 11th
RB: 8th
WR: 12th
Defensive Front 7: 3rd
DB: 5th

Breaking this down a bit further.... I bet if they separated the front 7 into lb's and d line then utes d line would be #1 and backers like 6th or so.

Also, I think rb should be ranked higher. I love Williams speed. But of course, I like speed over everything else in a running back and Williams has elite speed so I'm a bit bias probably.

Seriously? No way Conan coached a qb. Dude looked like (and my memory serves) he was either an OL coach or HC.

You could be right. I'm not sure he ever made it clear what he actually coached...but he did make it sound like he was involved with some of Hill's development. I don't know, I hope he comes back and talks a little trash if Hill does happen to play well in that game though.

I forgot about Jason Thompson. And lo and behold... he's a team captain this year.
Ya, we've got not one but two good emergency quarterbacks.
We'll be fine without Cox... but still sad to see him go.
He's a lefty.

I posted on some other sites that I thought Thompson would be our third QB over Hansen. Thompson could slide over just as easily as Hansen and isn't needed on defense like Hansen is. Although, Thompson is a BIG hitter and will probably get some good playing time this year if we move Hansen to LB in certain situations.
 
Just read a great write-up on Morgan Scalley. Man, I'm just so giddy about the present and future of this program. I dunno if other Ute fans feel the same way but I feel like we're on the cusp of something bigger.

There's just something in the air fellas.

Not gonna lie... I feel it too. And even being self-critical and making sure I'm not wearing rose-colored glasses.

It just seems to me like Kyle is grooming Scalley as the heir apparent. From everything I've read he would be an amazing successor. But I'm still hoping that Kyle coaches until he's 80.

Like you, I'd like to see Kyle here for a long, long time. My one caveat to that is that it does trouble me how badly he and his staff have struggled to develop QB's. I know people are psyched with what we're hearing about Troy Williams but every year at this time, we're always talking about how the passing game is going to be better than the previous year.

I feel like Whitt missed a chance this offseason when he didn't go out and get an honest-to-goodness QB coach with NFL experience. IMO, if you're going to be a "Defense wins games" type of coach, at least get a specialist in here to work with your QB's to further their learning curve and technique. Let's be brutally honest: If Whitt ever learns how to get out of his own way in regards to "The throw game", this program is in the top 10 conversation yearly.

In regards to Scalley, it's my dream scenario that he replaces Whitt when it comes time. There's probably not one coach in Utah (including HC's) that can touch Scalley's ability to connect with in-state recruits. As much as I liked BYU's hiring of Sitake, I'm not afraid of him out-recruiting Utah. Yes, he'll only improve their connect with Poly kids but Utah's ties with the Poly community are stronger than ever. However, if/when Morgan gets an HC job (especially if it's out west), I'll be shaking in my shoes. That guy will be poaching Utah kids left and right from all of the in-state schools.
