Re: Blake Anderson??
watching the Arkansa St vs Texas st game .
Random thoughts
Lot of different sets.
A lot a 11 personal between the 20's
They use the TE to block and in the flats as a outlet not to force the saftey to play a seam.. Very few deep routes with the TE
Use tempo from time to time. Mostly after a 1st down.
Use a 1-2 personal set inside the red zone. Prefers to ground and pound inside the 10
Likes to use the wheel route with RB/LB matchup out of a 12 man personal
shotgun ... haven't seen a single play under center
Run game in RPO for the most part.
goaline 22 personal package.

Re: Blake Anderson??
Just curious...when was the last time we lured a current Football head coach of a D1 school? I thought it was John L. but Idaho wasn't D1 at the time. Any idea?

Re: Blake Anderson??
“The Red Wolves have won at least seven games every season under Anderson's coaching, including a 9-victory campaign in 2015 and eight-win years in 2016, 2018 and 2019. “
Weren’t we just saying a few days ago that 7 wins every season would be good to great at USU? I’m pumped.

Re: Blake Anderson??
If he has six straight winning seasons at USU, he'll be a Godsend. He is coming into a tougher situation obviously than when he took over in Jonesboro. We'll see if the man can build it up.BLUERUFiO wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 2:49 pm“The Red Wolves have won at least seven games every season under Anderson's coaching, including a 9-victory campaign in 2015 and eight-win years in 2016, 2018 and 2019. “

Re: Blake Anderson??
The kid is looking hard into Anderson and trying to determine if it will be a fit. He also has a pair of WRs and a RB that would all like to play together.

Re: Blake Anderson??
Well ... he was on staff at USC and Illinois between those two gigs, and Fresno was college (not university) level at that time. It's not like he was out of coaching altogether, and he was part of a natty champ staff in LA.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 2:53 pmProbably never.

Re: Blake Anderson??
I assumed he meant a D1a Head Coach. If he just meant someone on staff at a D1a school, then Brent Guy would qualify since he as the D Coordinator at ASU before coming here and Gary Andersen would qualify as DC at Utah.USU78 wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 3:02 pmWell ... he was on staff at USC and Illinois between those two gigs, and Fresno was college (not university) level at that time.

Good catch on Fresno though. They didn't become D1a until 1969 and Krueger coached there earlier.

Re: Blake Anderson??
Agree completely. You build a sold program on the OLine and DLine. The key to success for USU doing that is with recruits from the State of Utahhickaggie wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 1:43 pmNo, the top recruits are going PAC10 and BIG12. We have to go after the JC stuff, and the guys that need to be developed. But we can't win consistently without it. The poly pipeline was absolutely essential to the turnaround of the program along with identifying kids we can develop. Its not even debatable. It would be insane to even consider abandoning our advantages that allow us to compete. And there is no reason to even contemplate allowing that to happen. Utah is a critical part of the recruiting strategy that we have available that other programs in similar circumstances don't. Its allowed us to be successful in the mountain west with the smallest stadium and one the smallest budgets.splintorb wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 1:18 pmDo you believe we get even third pick of recruits out of our state?hickaggie wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 1:04 pmWow. USU has two huge advantages that separate it from most universities in our circumstance.

If you fail on the Utah front with the poly pipeline and getting the missionary front you don't have a chance in hell of building a real program up front. And I don't care how many skill players you get out of Texas, Florida, and California you don't win long term without having a developmental program usiing the Utah advantages to be solid where it counts.
I think that was pretty much universally understood.

Re: Blake Anderson??
You guys have lower expectations than me I guess, unless you mean 6-7 wins is the floor for our program. We have only finished with less than 6 wins once since joining the MWC (twice counting this shortened odd season) while having seasons of 9, 10, and 11 wins during the same period.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 3:09 pmIf we have a consistent 6-7 win team I am absolutely satisfied.

Anderson's name was thrown around a couple of times, but honestly how many people (outside of those in the know) actually thought this guy would be the next head coach of our beloved aggies?

Probably no one who wasn't in the know. How many names have been floated around and he was barely mentioned and didn't have any cheerleaders the way other candidates did. Good hire though. Impressed we got a proven winner from a FBS school.

Weren’t we just saying a few days ago that 7 wins every season would be good to great at USU? I’m pumped.

Re: Blake Anderson??
That might be true, but nobody knows at this point. So you don't need to imply we aren't paying attention either.Stucki wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 2:26 pmI didn't meant to imply that they didn't know football, just weren't paying attention. I agree there were great names in the discussion. I'm saying I think this will end up better than any of them.stang wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 2:23 pmJust because someone has a different opinion than you doesn’t mean they know less about football than you. There were some really excellent coaches out there as potential candidates. I think Anderson is a good hire, but I understand if people are let down because USU didn’t get some of the other guys in the running.Stucki wrote:I'm assuming those of you not excited about this hire don't watch a lot of college football outside of our Ags. When I saw the tweet that it was him, my first thought was that this is better than anyone that had been speculated about on the board. I've been in the Jay Hill camp since Wells resigned, but I think this is a better hire than Hill.

Re: Blake Anderson??
How many Utah High School kids play in the FBS division that don't go to a P-5 school out of state, Utah, or BYU? The Utes have a decided advantage in the state being in the PAC12. BYU will inherently get a lot of top LDS talent in the state with their connection to the LDS church. What is left? Weber and SUU get a bunch - but are they MWC-level players? I don't know that there is a lot of FBS talent remaining after the top two take theirs. How many play out of state for other G-5 teams?

Re: Blake Anderson??
Well over a quarter of our scholarship players are from Utah. We also have quite a few polynesians on the team. 22's numbers above are guys that are both polynesian AND from Utah. I hope Anderson keeps recruiting Utah. I hope even more that we have winning seasons.

Re: Blake Anderson??
i may be wrong, but I don't think he meant necessarily just Polynesians FROM Utah...just Polynesians AND kids from Utah. By my count, we have 45 kids that are either Polynesian AND/OR from Utah. That's almost HALF of our current roster. Now, does our roster need an upgrade? Yes, yes it does. But I tend to agree with hickaggie here that we'd be foolish to take the axe to two of the three legs of the stool that has supported us lo these many years... **Edit, it looks like Busta and I are on a similar wavelength...he beat me to it.aggies22 wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 3:17 pmThe "utah" pipeline isn't as alive and well as you thought. We currently have 7 scholarship and 3 walk-on Polynesians from utah on our roster. Less than a 10th of our roster.hickaggie wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 1:04 pmWow. USU has two huge advantages that separate it from most universities in our circumstance. The disparate number of D1 prospects in Utah due to the polynesian populations and the ability to recruit lineman on both sides of the ball and give them an extra 2-3 years of age. Even if we are 3rd in the pecking order this advantage is the only thing that allows us to have FBS worthy fronts.

If you fail on the Utah front with the poly pipeline and getting the missionary front you don't have a chance in hell of building a real program up front. And I don't care how many skill players you get out of Texas, Florida, and California you don't win long term without having a developmental program usiing the Utah advantages to be solid where it counts.
I think that was pretty much universally understood.

I will admit, I only watch the Aggies. I don't know a lot about Ark St. nor Blake Anderson.

Hearing Kyle Cefalo is coming with him. You will love him. Once he took over WR they became beasts blocking and fighting for the ball. Your WRs will improve

....such as
BJ Larsen, the Vigil boys, Kevin Curtis, Chris Cooley and many more. Also there are more and more new High Schools with these kinds of players who just make it better for us. I think the future is bright for Utah recruiting. But we need to start beating the Y again which makes recruiting a little easier. Also have really good recruiters.

Re: Blake Anderson??
maybe I am wrong but I would guess that the top 20 in utah .. about half would stay with someone in state and the other half are going to big time P5 schools..3rdGenAggie wrote: ↑December 10th, 2020, 3:49 pmWhat do you mean?

Re: Blake Anderson??
Is it really too much to ask for both???
Can't a coaching staff heavily recruit in state players AND use connections to recruit hard in other states/regions?
