2023 Lions Preseason thread

Lots in Salt Lake!

I think we both got some residual from Hilary.

I always wonder, does Cota get value there in the coaches eyes? I hope so, he has been the stud of the UDFAs

 

[Mebert]

Oof, I jinxed him

From what I've seen of him, he does make plays on bad balls...but I haven't watched the Lions at all until now

Cota has been best in games, Drummond in practice from what I read. Green is the best athlete, and was picked in the 7th. I have no idea who ends up making it between them.

Well, I'm sure they'll keep the guy most likely to get poached on the active roster and then sign the others they want to the practice squad.

In other news, what is UofU going to do now that the pac is no longer. I feel for you guys, finally get into a conference and it makes big changes to the athletic department because of $$$, and then NIL and this super conference nonsense comes along and blow it.

I just hope they end the pac 12 with their 3rd consecutive conference title. They will be fine in the big12 after that. It is the mew qeakest conference, but pac was the weakest before that, so same story.

What about the money? Will it be the same as the Pac money they got, or at least close? The people I talked to mentioned that the move to the PAC made a massive change in the money they could put into athletic facilities and they did. Is that going to suffer as far as you know?

I don't think so. The jump in money was from jumping from Mountain West to a power 5. I believe they get a lower cut in big12 for a few years, but after that window their revenue should actually increase again.

That's good. As soon as I saw the USC/UCLA move I kind of knew the PAC was done. That made me wonder mostly about Utah, as they went from a mid-major conference recently and I was told the money made a massive change in the athletic department. I just didn't want to see them get it in the dirt road after doing the right thing.

I was not to worried about it as they have a strong academic record and they had won the league 2 years in a row. They always would have been appealing to another power 5. I was really hoping they would get into Big10, especially with Oklahoma and Texas leaving 12.

 

[Moab]

That's taking advantage of opportunity. Not sure why 2 WRs were in the same area, cuz that looked like disaster, instead it's a TD Lions.

 

[Mebert]

I think Cota entered with yhe lead, but fumbled it. 2 key drops. Drummond has been the best out there, Green just reminded why he was a draft pick.

I have no idea what the B1G is doing, but I don't think they're adding any more. Then again I didn't see any of this USC/UCLA/UW/U0 happening either. They're at 18 now, so who knows, maybe 20 makes sense to them

...and that's the half. Take care and good luck this season...I'm probably out for the night

Cota seems to have slow feet to me.

Nice finish to the half.

Helluva play from Lucas.

He uses his body well for extra separation, but this game his hands have been pretty terrible. Green making a real solid case to stick on the team

Can’t lie.

I do like his body. Body like that is good to have around.
