Does he have a history of being a locker room issues?Originally posted by kccougar View PostI'm going to go on record now as saying that the former UW qb (is that Smith's cousin?) is going to be a locker room issue for Utah and will cause more problems than he will solve at Utah. Call me a Utah hater, but you can bookmark this post for later if it turns out I'm wrong.

I'll have to go back and find a link, but I read an article a month or two back with an interview from his JC coach, who I believe was also his high school coach. He described the kid as brash, headstrong, and a risk taker. Basically, he has been successful when coaches get out of his way and let him do what he wants on the field (coach's words, not mine, and provided partly as an explanation for why he didn't succeed at Washington). As I read it, I couldn't help but think that he is everything that Kyle Whittingham doesn't like in a quarterback. It will be interesting to see how that gets resolved.Originally posted by USUC View PostDoes he have a history of being a locker room issues?"It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12.

Originally posted by mpfunk View PostI'm not aware of any. I'm guessing the pronouncement from kccougar is based on about 80% being a Ute hater, 10% Troy Williams being brash and arrogant, and 10% that he left Washington.

Williams has said he didn't get a fair shot from Washington head coach Chris Petersen after Steve Sarkisian — who offered him midgame when he was a sophomore at Narbonne High — left to become head coach at USC.
Williams played in five games as a redshirt freshman and started just the one, when sophomore Cyler Miles sat out because of a concussion.
Against the persistent blitzes of Arizona State and in the wind and rain at Husky Stadium, Williams didn't fare well. He threw for 139 yards and two interceptions, was sacked five times and lost a fumble. It would be his final appearance as a Husky.
A handful of sources close to Williams felt Petersen and Williams were a poor match. Petersen was too controlling and conservative for Williams, they said, and Williams — such an "alpha dog" that even Kaub's assistants often deferred to him — was too outgoing for Petersen.
Kaub, who reunited with Williams at Santa Monica after calling plays for him at Narbonne, said Petersen has "a distinct type of quarterback he likes."
"He doesn't like the guys like Troy. Troy's personality, it's not abrasive, but it is aggressive."
He sounds like a perfect fit for a Whittingham offense."It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IV

That's easy. Whittingham's offensive philosophy: Don't screw up.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostThat his offensive coordinator hiring philosophy, not his offensive philosophy. I don't think anyone really can identify Whittingham's philosophy on offense."It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12.

Anyway-- looks like this 2 star WR from Alta, RM and former Hawaii commit is going to sign. Mack Richards? Maybe not too noteworthy, but since Kalani cut a bunch of schollies loose that were presumably OK players, he must have something going for himself..."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

That particular recruit doesn't sound too exciting.Originally posted by falafel View PostMack is in."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
