Official UofU homer thread

Why was Chase Hansen starting anyway? I read he did fine, but who was he replacing or who did he beat out?
Tevita Carter is who he replaced. He was struggling with speed as he is coming off of an injury last year and the radio said he is not completely healthy. Carter played some at LB during that game but Hansen started over Carter at Safety. I fully expect Chase to stay at safety, he has a great chance at the NFL as a safety I doubt he has any chance as a QB.
 
David Collette apparently transferring to Utah from Utah State. That's a huge get, if true. Transfer bigs that are actually ballers don't happen that often.
Huge news if true. He'll step in to help with the loss of Poeltle(probably spelled wrong) after this year. My first though when I heard the news is that he'd be headed to Utah. I hope that's the case.

Jayce Johnson committed to Utah too. Should have a solid big rotation again. Coach K building a rep as a molder of big men.

Hansen decided to play defense instead of QB and beat out Carter for the starting spot. And Hansen didn't do fine. He freaking tore it up. He was our second best defender vs Washington behind Paul. He was incredible, its too bad he got hurt.

Rumors are rampant. I'm hearing BYU is another possible destination.
I wonder what the story is behind transferring at the beginning of a season.
That loss to Cal State MB was pretty bad... although I was there when Utah played them and they're not nearly as bad of a team as their score against Utah indicated.

You guys ended up passing on signing a a guy you had previously committed, right? For what reason if not Colette? And USU's coach is freely using the term "poached" so some team might have crossed the line here. All signs point to Utah.He's sacrificing a whole year and a half of actual basketball games to do it too, so it must have gotten pretty bad for him whether he didn't feel like they had the coaches to develop him or the outlook of the team was that bad. That's a lot of ball to give up. I bet he'll be a monster after he does nothing but develop during his off year though.

BYU is unlikely simply because they don't have room. I mean, I wish they could make room if he wanted to play there, but they are already over promised with schollies for next year and will have to help a couple players that currently have them find a new school next year as is. And they don't even have playing time really. The two posts that are going to start this year are coming back, and they add 3 highly thought of post guys next year. It's definitely Utah. Although it certainly doesn't have to be. I imagine almost any team would take him.

I guess time will tell. No news yet.
 
Any Ute fans planning on a Rose Bowl trip should they happen to make it there?

I've began the process of clearing my schedule in the event it happens and I saw some pre sale info on Rose Bowl tix in which the price was listed at just over $400 per ticket. There's gotta be cheaper prices once the teams are announced, right? Somebody please say yes.
