Every decision being made about the future of the college sports is being driven by the rich who will simply get richer. The amount of money being unleashed on college sports will further the divide. That is not going to change and is not good news for USU.

I concur that he is a definite upgrade over Jackson. However, other than being very excited about hanging on to our core from last year, I am underwhelmed by almost every other move. I’m genuinely curious about why? I’ve been super excited about every portal addition. That is good news that you fee...

Holy damn this one hurts. I said before that Booth was the biggest loss by a country mile. Now watching Faison follow him hurts that much more. I honestly don't get what these guys are thinking? He was basically guaranteed a starting job at RB at a school that has had more RBs drafted in the NFL th...

Just a reminder to all the Blake Anderson Defenders. Once is Happenstance, Twice is coincidence, Three times is a pattern. You're right, it IS Blake Anderson. Blake Anderson BROUGHT IN players who were TALENTED enough to be HIGHLY sought after by schools much bigger than Utah State's NIL pay grade ...

It I was advising Rashul, I would tell him that this was a very poor decision. Yes, you might be making a few thousand more dollars at another location. That said, with Booth gone, you were going to be the bell cow, possibly paving the way for an NFL career. Now you venture into the unknown. Lots o...

I know hope I was wrong but I have been in the Hillstead camp and think he has great upside. I can imagine him competing for the real job at BYU this year.

One thing I really hope Calhoun that doesn’t miss is that part of USU’s secret sauce seems to be finding overlooked local kids to be a part of the team. There just seems to be some aspect of having a local kid that while he may be a little less talented or undersized on a relative scale, they have ...

I'm surprised that Javon Jackson entered the portal and hasn't indicated that he'll be back yet. Is there any prevailing thought on if he's gone gone or just in the portal for now? Perhaps I'm getting greedy... :) I - for one - love Javon Jackson and thought that he was really turning into a solid ...

I'm fairly certain that BA also has a "no return" policy once a player enters the portal. I get why he does that but I wonder if Coop leaving has him rethinking that with Hillstead. Can't make exceptions. Once you make an exception for one kid, another will expect the same treatment. I completely a...

If byu pulls off this Kevin Young hire that’s a great get for them. He was a finalist for the Nets job, is highly respected, and is considered to be on the fast track to an NBA head coaching job. Chris Burgess was very underwhelming. But Kevin Young is a different ballgame. I still dont get the lov...

My son played for Daniels at UVU. Good coach and good buy but I guess I was looking for a little bigger splash and pedigree. Getting the right assistants is a huge part of being a successful head coach at the D1 level and that is becoming increasingly critical with the transfer portal and NIL. More ...

Disappointing for sure. I am in the camp that Hillstead had the best upside of any QB we have right now. It would have been surprising if one of them didnt move on after spring ball but I was hoping it would not be Hillstead. We definitely need to find someone for next year instead of Barnes IMO.

There is zero chance they can afford Madsen's buyout. Maybe had he not signed an extension after the season, but no way they can do it now. Scotty suggested Barrett Peery. If I were to guess, I'd guess he's the guy. Seems like the best of all the options I've heard. I know a donor there that could ...

With Madsen out. All their top canidates are guys we would not even pick up the phone for. Burgess is the best option and at this point of his career might be considered for openings at WAC or big sky schools.

Crazy.

If I were Burgess I would go to Kentucky with Pope

If it is purely about the money, I dont think there is any chance he stays - and never was a chance. If wants a good payday and a known situation with a guarantee of minutes, we should have a shot.

Scotty is a great ambassador for Aggie sports. I wish he was on with someone other than Hans.

The national championship comment actually makes me wonder if he will be a straight shooter. I get that he has to publicly recruit guys but he has no experience in this kind of conference and this team, without a few significant upgrades, does not compete for the MWC championship next year.

Add my name to the list that the info that 22 provides is one of the reasons I visit this board. I have been involved in enough job changes in my life that I am very clear that there are tons of moving parts and people (and their families) often change their minds.

Last time we hired a rival's head coach (CSU) it turned out pretty well. I once heard SM also say once he told BYU no thanks. If we hired their current coach, well, it might be something that is meant to be. I think BYU asked Stew if he would be willing to get a temple recommend in order to become ...

Pope has been sought after by P5 schools all but one year at BYU (last year). I have no idea what his current status is or what his motives are but if he wants money, NIL, and a P5 option he can have it.

We offered him triple what he was paid at Montana State, so he came to Logan. Why are we surprised he would change schools when a school provides him triple what we're paying him? I'm not mad at a coach saying they want to build up a program. Those are words that are informed by their current situa...

https://twitter.com/ChristianCaple/status/1772341221895323811 Sprinkle owned them with the buyout. ONly 6 million if he leaves after 1 year is a steal. Honestly you can’t blame him. We weren’t touching this. I get it (except the behind the scenes bullsh*t) and will even root for him if at MINIMUM G...

They all have agents who do the negotiating. I think our buyout conditions are consistent with other schools in our category. Would love to make it more but I have no interest in scaring off a coach we really want.

How much of the contract does Darius Brown get? He doesn't get that job without a handful of clutch shots from DB. I've been saying this for a while. He doesn't get that job without Downtown Daruis Brown. You are correct, and that's all the more reason why Sprinkle should take the generational mone...

Burgess would have come to Logan in a heartbeat when Smith interviewed him for an assistant coach role but Smith was not interested. I think he is a great coach and great recruiter but I do wonder how well he makes the leap to head coach. Smith also did not want Spencer. Never understood his thinki...

Great has several "launch points" in his arsenal, he doesn't need to shoot over top of his defender. Using his size and long arms to keep the defender behind him to protect against the blocked shot and scooping the layup from underneath.

I have never actually seen the aggies win in the tournament. In February (and March) of 2001, I left for the Brazilian MTC. It was there that I received a letter from my mom with the sports section of the newspaper stuffed in. The Front page of the sports section talked about a USU win in the tourn...

My source, who I'm happy to disclose personally to anyone who actually knows me, says that UW now favors Kyle Smith, that Danny will still be targeted by other teams with openings, but there is a full court press on him to wait until next year when much better jobs potentially open. This would like...

Any guesses on how many of the 4 QB's we have right now will be here on opening day? Great depth and good problem to have but I am thinking that one of two of them will enter the portal after spring ball.

Why did the administration let our coach interview in Las Vegas for another job? What were they supposed to do?

I’m guessing Pope is severely underpaid by Big 12 standards, there is always the “calling” factor at YBU. I wonder if Pope is finally seeing the dollar signs though.. He is underpaid if you only count what he gets from BYU as an institution, but just like football, there is a lot more salary coming...
