BYU and Isaac Wilson

ghettomagic

12/20/23 12:20pm

He wanted to forge his own path. Didn't want to follow Zach. A reasonable choice.

kccougar

12/20/23 12:21pm

Well we can all hope he loses every game and throws 3 INTs a game with Utah.

letthewookieewin

12/20/23 12:21pm

If he stays, he will experience the transition to a new head coach- I am sure

byusage

12/20/23 12:23pm

Hard to do that while playing safety

UberDeek

“Hope” is not a strategy.

BleedCougarBlue2

12/20/23 2:58pm

#2 NFL draft pick seems like a pretty dumb path to follow. Smart thinking.

COACHdrn

12/20/23 12:24pm

Yeah would suck going to the Jets

LakeshowCougs

12/20/23 12:26pm

Should NFL teams be penalized for failing to improve after getting top draft picks?

Bobber

12/20/23 1:51pm

That is a fair point

LakeshowCougs

12/20/23 1:59pm

Because that's how actual parity is created.

WHO DEY

12/20/23 4:04pm

Not picking BYU was wise. Picking Utah was not wise.

JupiterJones

12/20/23 2:24pm

He didn't want BYU. Not much you can do about that.

AltTabbins

12/20/23 12:22pm

And with all the older brothers choosing BYU Utah was a nod to his Dad as well.

kccougar

12/20/23 12:24pm

Other than Zach.. the Wilsons have not thrived at BYU

TheLost

12/20/23 12:30pm

His mom's best friend is a ute fan.

zonacougar

12/20/23 12:22pm

Not sure BYU ever had a real chance. The kid went where he wanted to go.

Hoopster

12/20/23 12:23pm

He preferred Utah over BYU

Archaea

12/20/23 12:23pm

So did Zach

Huge Manatee

12/20/23 12:30pm

Had the Utes shown much interest in Zach, he probably would have ended up there.

SoCalCoug

12/20/23 12:58pm

Utah decided to go after Jack Tuttle instead of Zach. Worked out for us.

HonestTakes

12/20/23 1:43pm

He’s from a Ute family, Zach would’ve gone too

GlutealGuy

Wishing Isaac Wilson nothing but the best but I’ve been saying for two years now that I don’t believe he will succeed at

Zach Morris

12/20/23 12:32pm

You might be correct but...

ghettomagic

12/20/23 12:52pm

He completed 47% of his passes in that game.

molodyets

12/20/23 12:59pm

That’s a good point. His game against BG was pretty impressive. It’ll be interesting to see how he turns out given all

Zach Morris

12/20/23 1:10pm

Jaxson Dart and Devin Brown haven't had too much trouble adjusting...

Homo Erectus

12/20/23 1:29pm

They also didn’t have older brothers pave the way and gift them hype before it was ever earned. Both played on talented

Zach Morris

12/20/23 1:40pm

I believe this is unfair to Isaac

Homo Erectus

12/20/23 1:58pm

Agree to disagree as I concede you make some good points — however, I would almost never put “Unfair” and Isaac Wilson

No dog in this “fight”.

No passion, just an observation and opinion — pretty much like every other post or opinion held by everyone on the

Zach Morris

12/20/23 4:26pm

Out of all those receivers Jerome Myles is the best. He was hurt most of this

davidmj10

Jerome is a sure get for Utah (albeit he’s only a jr) but right now it doesn’t

Both were big deals before they went to Corner Canyon.

What has Devin brown done?

YIsForBrigham

12/20/23 7:31pm

Will likely start the bowl game, will be his first start in college I believe

The Tate kid is not homegrown and I’m told there were several kids on the team whose families either moved into the

Zach Morris

12/23/23 1:04pm

Like you said NiL plus the fact that he’s a Ute fan

I'mBatman

12/20/23 12:38pm

You're looking at it wrong. BYU didn't lose out on Isaac, they turned Zach.

Mister P

12/20/23 1:01pm

Sports is a missionary tool. The church should fund as much as is needed.

Ojiisan

12/20/23 1:13pm

I would tend to disagree, but much better use than letting it sit in stocks IMO

Plato

12/20/23 3:31pm

The Wilson family are Utes the only reason we got Zach was bc Kyle was interested

BYU Grounds

12/20/23 1:15pm

Because he wanted to go to Utah. BYU can’t get every kid and the hand wringing

Nagurski

12/20/23 1:42pm

This is a hot take that I haven't heard. Who is running the NIL program now?

BYU-Laie

12/20/23 1:48pm

Fraser Bullock is on the board. That tells you the level.

molodyets

12/20/23 2:20pm

Fraser is legit. I know him from Omniture days. This is huge.

DazeofBlue

12/20/23 2:53pm

Is Fraser Bullock a BYU guy or Utah guy?

Bob Vance

12/20/23 4:14pm

Huge BYU. One of the founders of Bain. COO of the 2002 SLC Olympics. CEO in 2030

molodyets

12/20/23 4:17pm

Cool. But he wasn’t a founder of Bain.

ghettomagic

He was a Utah kid his whole life. He thinks he can learn under Rising...

Big-Q

12/20/23 3:28pm

His whole life? He was 12 when Zach started at BYU.

CaliWG

12/20/23 3:40pm

His dad was still a Utah super fan during that time

Huge Manatee

12/20/23 3:44pm

His Dad also played for the U. His uncle is a massive donor.

Cougstreak

12/20/23 3:50pm

Zach went to BYU because Utah had already taken some big name recruit from

12/20/23 6:09pm

A smart move on Wilsons part as he started right away.

Big-Q

12/21/23 8:27am

And...he had a fantastic career at BYU. It was so good that he subsequently

Georgia made a push for him late and Utah held them off 🔥

uteman13

Um, he wanted to go somewhere else. Don't blame BYU. They wanted him.

In general, I think BYU fans vastly underestimate the perception of Utah as a program right now

4 out of 5 NY6 bowls?

Charles Darwin

Sorry, 3 out of 4 with Ludwig + top-end QB. Sugar Bowl (brian johnson) and Rising...missed with Huntley

Top end QB? Or the rest of the Pac 12 literally tanked with bad hires? I'd

It's still a big deal. I just don't think they would have done it if all 11

I think Utah fans vastly overestimate how many people care about Utah football.

YOHONOMOTO

Probably with the extreme fans. Too much data. CFP, AP rankings, computers, recruiting. Where BYU fans underestimate

Because it wasn't BYU's decision. It was his. That's how.
