    everyone is curious.
    louks' arm is the big question. only someone at practice would really know. the one long pass i remember seeing him throw last year was a little short. so maybe his arm strength isn't that great. but neither was BJ's, and he did ok with the offense.
    Anyone seen him?

    So far, so good.

        One thing that has been said of him by people that have seen him in practice is that he has a very strong arm. Now, with that said, I have no idea as to his judgment when he throws nor do I know of his accuracy in his throws.

            I will be curious to see how he turns out as a player. Though it was Junior College, he had fabulous numbers:
            • 3100+ yards in passing
            • 29 touchdowns
            • 68.7% completions
            • Juni
            or College Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All American

            Now, with that said, it was JC so we'll see how it translates.

              To be honest, I really have no idea about Cain. I really don't follow recruiting much.

              As for Louks, my understanding is that his arm strength is average at best. He did throw for a ton of yards in high school and most of what I heard was that it was a result of short passes in a spread offense. At Utah, he's rarely thrown the ball. The snaps he took were for running plays specifically designed for his running ability.

              I read somewhere that Mannis has officially made the move to DE, so it looks like Cain and Louks will be the two guys challenging for the starting spot and according to Louks, the job isn't necessarily his to lose.

                My opinion is that Devonte Christopher wins the job.

                  Could be. Christopher was a lot of fun to watch in the spring game last year.

                  I've heard a rumor that Christopher may move to receiver.

                    Devonte Christopher is my personal favorite because he may be the best athlete on the team. He has Vince Young athletics. However, I'm told by people who have seen a lot of practices that so far he has not demosntrated the needed instincts. They say he didn't get the right training in North Las Vegas, partly becuase he's such a terrific athlete. He'd look for his favorite receiver and if he was covered he'd tuck it under his arm and run for 20 or 80 yards. He did the same thing his first year in fall ball. Anyway, I'm rooting for DeVonte Christopher.

                    I know that true freshman Jordan Wynne who decommitted from Colorado thinks he should start.

                    Frankly, there was a rumor on Utefans that Loucks was transferring and I secretly took it as good news, meaning that he's looking at the competition and thinking he'll never be a starting qb.
                    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

                      Whit said on LOI day that Louks is the #1 QB going into Spring Football, but that he will have competition for it.

                      When asked about Devonte Christopher he said that they will probably go back to trying him out at WR.

                      I doubt he ever sees the field as the U QB,,,and if he does it'll be strictly in Wildcat formations.

                        I don't think Cain would be coming to Utah if he didn't think he could play right away...then again, I don't think that FR Qb Jordan Wynn would either. I don't think that arm strength matters much in the offense as it currently is because we don't take a ton of shots down field, so I think Louks is just as capable.

                        One thing is for sure (or at least I hope) Louks knows he's got to compete for the job, so we should get his, Cain's, and Christopher's best effort through spring ball and fall camp.

                        Chad Mannis apparently has been moved to DE, so he is out of the competition.

                        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                              We are just as curious as you are. I am hopeful that whoever it is has sort of a Matt Cassell scenario where he is stepping into a situation with some talented folks around him but we'll see. It is the most important position on the field and pretty much an unknown for us at this point.

                              Good be great, could be awful. I think it is a good reason for Ute fans to temper expectations about next year.
