Fk these guys. Seriously. They want to be mercenaries then we should treat them that way. Out of sight, out of mind.

In reading Aggies 22 on Twitter. It sounded like this could have been concern over playing time? As we were bringing a JC All-American In?

6-6 should be the floor for USU. Of course there will be an occasional season below that standard, but that should be the minimum. Blake has maintained that through his three years. I hope he can keep it up.

Also, every time I hear the name Cauthen I just think of #manstuff.

Remember how every basketball broadcast this year we had to hear about how we had zero returning production from the year before?

That's going to be football after a couple more transfers.

At least there are fewer football games.

I hate people that say “oh its just the new portal rules and NIL, not Blake”

But can anyone show me any MW or even any other High-mid major school losing their best players after spring ball like USU ???

Not to mention, these are guys that announced they are staying less than 6 months before they announced they’re leaving.

The problem isn’t NIL, it’s not the portal, it’s Blake Anderson.

Is it Festivus again already? I guess I'll air the grievances too.

- I hate when people use "H8" as a shorthand for hate.
- I dislike echo chambers.
- I'm not a fan of springtime allergies.
- I'm annoyed when an animated gif I want to use isn't easy to find.

Am I doing this right?

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 can afford. Be GRATEFUL for players such as Ike Larsen, Jaylen Royals, Broc Lane, and SEVERAL others, who CONTINUE to have MUCH bigger schools continue to blow their phones up.

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 of what is going on defies logic around playing time and impact. It makes me wonder what the dollar amounts really are.

This spring portal is really really dumb.

Post by **Aglicious** » April 25th, 2024, 7:59 pm

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 than any other MWC school in the past dozen years and more than a whole lot of P5 programs too.

To throw that opportunity away for what? To share a backfield at a school that likely has more competition? To walk in as the new guy and basically go back to exactly where you were last year? All in exchange for what amounts to $$ that will be spent and gone in 18 months from now or probably sooner?

Someone needs to have some serious talks with these guys and their parents about long term planning.

You’re right — this isn’t Blake’s fault. But IMO your post is highlighting the near futility of trying to run a successful D1 football program at USU. I maintain that basketball is doable for us in the NIL era, but I’m skeptical we can maintain even the current level of “success” in football. I hope I am wrong! Hopefully we add some dudes!

We're in the same boat as many schools, importantly the same boat as most our conference mates.

That’s true — we just need to stack enough wins against FCS and peer schools to get to 6 wins. I think that part’s doable. What I think is a thing of the past are the really fun outlier years like 2018 and 2021 where we win 10+ games.

This isn’t going to be a popular take, but we’ve always lacked depth, been pretty weak to average on both sides of the line of scrimmage, and have broken through in those outlier years thanks to elite talent at 2 or 3 skill positions. I’m really skeptical we’ll be able to hold onto the Jordan Loves and Deven Tompkins of the world anymore to have those years.

I am there as well and I too hope I am wrong. This is pointing more and more to being really good at one or the other and hoops is much easier to fund. I see no way that USU can keep pace in the NIL world.

Booth and Faison are the biggest losses IMO. I would add Hillstead as a big hit as well but I know I am in the minority in that view. We went from a great RB room to who knows.

Hillstead I would consider more of a long term hit than a hit on our 2024 team. There is plenty of time to recruit other quarterbacks for 2025. And an abundance of quarterbacks are going to become available after getting impatient at other schools.

Hillstead was not good. I feel like I’m the only one with eyes.

As a true freshman with the benefit of only the summer practices where he was given limited reps, Hillstead completed 60% of his passes, threw more TD's than INT's. His upside was that he was only 18, four months out of high-school and still performed well - showing the propensity to stick his back foot and let the ball go and had a strong arm to boot.

The simple fact that he played well enough to draw comparisons to the other two QB's last year, both with 4-6 years of experience, including as starters, versus his 120 day crash course says a lot about his upside.

Fair enough. I still stand by my assertion. As a true freshman, he was holding his own against two QB's who had almost a decade of college experience between the two of them. Of the three, he looked the part of the better passer in my mind. Just needed more reps and experience.
