I like that she’s not gushing over KW. Losing her Uteness. Dig it.

ZW's only problem was lacking size so he could be converted to another position.

He's a good player for sure

pastyute

8/28/19 9:11am

How is Tuttle picking up the new offense?

StarMan

8/28/19 9:12am

He's to busy being a 3rd string player at Indiana

pastyute

8/28/19 9:15am

Nice recruiting miss by Utah then.

Carnac

8/28/19 9:17am

You mean the kid that wasn't good enough at Texas so he transferred to Utah?

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 10:30am

You guys are dominating this pastyute guy on this topic. Bravo!

I think BYU has a higher rated player behind wilson too

If there's a position where ratings don't mean much, it is QB.

Wait, I thought only BYU fans were shameless homers?

Pimpin4Paradise

Except for the right-handed QBs...

ochobeeguy

Well, at least the left handed ones would..

Same Ute fan claims Wilson would be 4th string if he played at Utah.

Both sides feel the need to downplay the talent from their rival. I would take

I hope Zack is aware of these comments from yewt fans

I hope you are not inferring that Zach is going to change from great potential

Brittany G with a horribly stupid comment about "getting into the U"....

StarMan

8/28/19 8:59am

Acceptance rate is 77% at UofU, maybe he had a non-commitable offer?

Captain Stubing

8/28/19 9:08am

She's obviously referring to a lack of scholarship offer by Utah for Wilson. But

cougarfan84

8/28/19 9:35am

why mention the bit about not being able to get into BYU?

Belboz

8/28/19 10:43am

Isn’t the Utes roster littered with Utah kids? Either way, they missed terribly

What other offers did he have?

8/28/19 9:06am

Keep alienating the Neeleman/Wilson family!

Carnac

8/28/19 9:08am

His mom is a hot head. She’d be doing the same crap against your fans if the tables were turned.

8/28/19 9:12am

Maybe so, but it's funny seeing Ute fans being yewts to her

Indy Coug

8/28/19 9:14am

Maybe so? Definitely so.

8/28/19 9:15am

Yewts will be yewts.

8/28/19 10:26am

Hot head, huh?

Carnac

8/28/19 9:14am

This is about Ute fans going after her/attacking her just because

In the example in the OP it actually looks like she’s out there looking for trouble rather

8/28/19 9:20am

If the boot fits....

8/28/19 10:17am

Good QB but let’s be real...Wilson only had 5 P5 offers. But will be best BYU

8/29/19 4:29pm

Cal

Backcountry

8/28/19 9:09am

Hadn't he already committed to Boise State and then switched after coaching

StarMan

8/28/19 9:11am

Boise State, Cal, Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon State, Syracuse and others.

8/28/19 9:09am

So I guess Iowa better offer than Utah? Maybe. Cal if you’re counting education.

8/28/19 9:14am

Of course. They were Ute fans. Fandom makes you do dumb stuff like turn down better offers to better schools like Cal

8/28/19 9:23am

If you are a QB and want to play in the NFL, Cal is a way better destination

Josef K

8/28/19 9:25am

Uh yes, Iowa is better than Utah. Football history didn't start in 2004.

Bossk82

8/28/19 9:25am

It’s hilarious to see a Ute fan question whether Iowa is a better offer than Utah.

8/28/19 9:28am

Well, it's not like Iowa recently played in the Rose Bowl. Oh, wait ....

Bossk82

8/28/19 9:34am

Outrageous? Why is Iowa better? Asking for a Ute friend...

ochobeeguy

8/28/19 9:36am

Because Maryland: Big Ten; Utah: Pac 12.

8/28/19 10:30am

Utah played in the PAC 12 Championship. Like it or not, that is better.

ochobeeguy

8/28/19 11:28am

Uuuuuuh. It’s iowa.

8/28/19 9:48am

Exactly

8/28/19 9:49am

Which has a Heisman winner, national titles, 13 conference titles, etc.

Bossk82

8/28/19 9:50am

Big 10, 110-year AAU member, etc. LOL

Gustav

8/28/19 9:52am

On national TV more than Utah

Carnac

8/28/19 10:30am

Way more money

SUAVO

8/28/19 11:31am

Much bigger fan base

8/28/19 11:52am

Iowa is a better program and education

Gustav

8/28/19 9:26am

but to suggest he couldn't get into Utah is crazy

Belboz

8/28/19 9:40am

We aren’t talking about admission to the school we are talking about making the football team.

8/28/19 9:49am

Except that the OP’s original premise is admission then she adds a non-sequitor. So admissions is as valid as

mvtoro

8/28/19 10:07am

Then you started a different topic. Maybe you didn't read the original Tweet.

Belboz

8/28/19 10:35am

Ummmm, most of them if you're counting education

Cougar76

8/28/19 9:57am

Umm- Iowa is picked by some to win the B1G this year and is a good school.

thaws

8/28/19 9:59am

Yewtah is on par with OregonState.

Dr MoBYU

8/28/19 10:02am

My buddy and Zach are friends and apparently he had some SEC offer

SL12

8/28/19 9:14am

This happens quite a lot...

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 10:40am

This is probably true. Arkansas came in and offered Cooper Legas late. They probably did Wilson too.

RdF3

8/28/19 11:23am

His "best" offer was Cal, then Iowa. So, maybe Cal?

BrobaFett

8/28/19 9:18am

Yup. If he turns into a Heaps or Mangum, it’s gonna get ugly.

8/28/19 9:20am

Dude, just admit Whitt totally blew it hard by banking 100% on Tuttle and no one

8/28/19 9:41am

This is hindsight so I don't blame Whittingham for this...

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 10:43am

Where do you think Wilson would be on the depth chart at

BrobaFett

8/28/19 8:29pm

2nd behind Huntley....

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 8:47pm

Fair enough. I respectfully disagree, but it’s a fair response.

BrobaFett

8/29/19 12:14am

wow. that surprises me. I thought maybe they weren't bitter. they are.

Belboz

8/28/19 9:20am

Momma Wilson kinda owns herself

hereforlaughs

8/28/19 9:27am

Keep digging on the lady who used to sit on the 50 at RES

Carnac

8/28/19 9:34am

Wait, you're saying Covey is going to play in the NFL?

ochobeeguy

8/28/19 9:53am

No just pointing out two facts

hereforlaughs

8/28/19 10:54am

My sense is the family will be BYU-blue until their sons graduate

Croweater

8/28/19 9:34am

Momma Wilson didn't really dispute Brittany's comment

lilpenny

8/28/19 9:42am

Iowa is only debatable to a Ute fan... nobody else.

diluigifan

8/28/19 10:12am

and ESPN...

lilpenny

8/28/19 11:21am

Why would Utah "trade their right arm" for Wilson?

BrobaFett

8/28/19 10:15am

False despite you're attempt to spin the comment that way...

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 10:44am

And Brittany's comment was just weird.

Belboz

8/28/19 10:47am

BayUte

8/28/19 2:38pm

Momma Wilson is wrong about KWhitt recruiting Utah QBs though

Croweater

8/28/19 11:03am

I stand corrected. He is a walk on

Croweater

8/28/19 11:07am

He's not going to be a QB, plus he's a walk on...

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 11:08am

Correct

Croweater

8/28/19 11:10am

You are right though that they occasionally recruit local QB's...

CoachSpeak

8/28/19 11:08am

Most of their starting QBs have been from CA, TX, or FL

D.T. Survivor

8/28/19 12:35pm

I'm not a fan of people singling out a player. The toxicity just breeds toxicity

LiquidUte
