Utah Utes Mailbag: “What grade would you give Utah’s recruiting amid the realignment uncertainty?”
Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham as the University of Utah football team practices for the Rose Bowl at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., on Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2021.Fall camp is finally upon us, and the University of Utah is inside 50 days to a high-profile opener at the University of Florida, but let’s not sugarcoat it.
Q: “Is it possible that all of this realignment drama is something that pushes Whitt to retire early?” - @foxonabox_In fairness, Kyle Whittingham’s job now does not look like it did five years ago. Actually, scratch that: Whittingham’s job now doesn’t look the same as even a year ago. Back to the question. Is this round of realignment going to be the catalyst that causes Whittingham, 62 and entering his 18th season as head coach, to retire?
Q: “I’m interested in more on who will back up Rising this year in case he gets hurt again.” - @JamesinUtahwhich has not been the case at Utah in recent years. It’s Cam Rising. No camp competition, no injury rehab, no graduate transfer out of the portal acting as a one-year rental, no questions. The situation behind Rising, though, is unsettled. That makes Bryson Barnes vs. JaQuinden Jackson one of the more intriguing storylines for camp, which is expected to begin Aug.
As I think about this, I keep coming back to believing that there is simply too much potential from Jackson, both as a thrower and a runner, to cast him aside as No. 3. That is surely dependent upon Jackson continuing to earn trust from Whittingham and Andy Ludwig, but that’s where I’m at.
