before Holliday estab the relationship with Margin & started steering them to SLC rather than Provo.

Margin did play with a lot of our current coaches, though (including Kalani & Cahoon), so hopefully we're not totally outa the mix there.

Meh. I don't see the problem with #1, and it's pretty tough to criticize

I wouldn't see a problem w #1 if I didn't think it cost us a game or two.

Leslie should consider him a father figure. He's his step-dad no?

So do the yewts have a better all around athlete at WR than Mitch Matthews?

One of them is Tim Patrick, who played at JC with Nick Kurtz...

thanx. Of course there's 6'8 athletes in the Matthews/Blackmon mold. It's Utah.

6'6 w/ legit sub-4.5 speed (not yewt 4.3, mind you) is exceptional anywhere.

Is this a serious question you really think he was a great "all around athlete"?

Height is definitely a component of athleticism. Matthew's speed was impressive

Holiday is a good coach.

I've talked to WRs who played under Holliday. He spent nearly zero time on

Doesn't surprise me. Other than Blackmon, I didn't see players improve under him

Very possible. I heard the other WRs spent a lot of time coaching him up

Couldn't agree more with Houk...totally underutilized...so frustrating

It was. In terms of productivity. But he was also just straight-up fun to watch.
