      Seems like a good get, fills a need and can step right in and play.

      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.

        He seems to be like Eddie Wide with just a little more gitty-up.

            I am convincing people all over the country not to get hyped about J.C. kids until they do something on the field at the D-1 level.

              I know this is an inside joke here, but the one solid-gold position Utah has recruited from the JC ranks has been at RB.

              Jamal Anderson
              Mike Anderson
              Marty Johnson
              Adam Tate
              Dameon Hunter
              Brandon Warfield
              Quinton Ganther
              Matt Asiata

              All have led the Utes in rushing in at least one season since 1993. The only prep RBs to lead Utah in rushing in that time were Chris Fu'amatu Ma'afala, Juan Johnson, Darrel Mack and Eddie Wide. In fact, I can't remember a JUCO back that we signed who didn't excel at Utah in that timeframe, although I'm sure there are a couple.

                Utah has actually hit home run after home run when recruiting J.C. running backs. That is an impressive list that goes way to back to the Dirty Bird.

                  We had pretty good luck with JC's in the 2010 class:


                  Hits:

                  Reggie Dunn
                  Star Lotulelei
                  John Cullen
                  Tevita Finau

                  Misses:

                  Ron Tongaonovei
                  James Aiono

                  TBD:

                  Dexter Ransom
                  martavious Lee

                    Yeah 2009 was not a good year for J.C. guys and the Utes

                    Aiono was actually part of that class.

                    Shaky was awesome. Conroy Black will be a good one from that class but the others. Ouch.

                    Ray Magee, where did he end up?
                    Maxwell Lacy, isn't he up at Utah St. now?
                    Kameron Yancy, not sure if he will every do anything.
                    Terrance Cain. Yes he started some games for us so you could consider him a contributor. Wasn't he J.C. player of the year?

                    So if you count Cain and Black as being good players for the Utes, they were 3 for 7 that year.

                      Magee got messed up when his JC shut its doors before final grades were posted:yikes: I think he ended up in D-2 because of transfer rules. Yancy played some special teams and that was about it. Aiono was in 2009, but didn't hit campus until 2010. Cain was JC POY in 2008. He has one game left to set his final legacy at Utah.

                          Nice get for you's guys. It was obvious he would pick Utah based on the poor decisions he has made up to now in his young life...

                              I am very happy he picked Utah. I'm also not celebrating until he signs.
