With Fakailoatonga just prepping to start his junior season, he isn’t thinking all that seriously where he’s going to play in college. He does know that with Bateman, who is already receiving a lot of out-of-state attention, that many schools should be coming by to watch Cottonwood play during the coming years.
“I’m just so grateful to have great schools like Utah and BYU offer me already and hopefully I can impress some other schools as well,” he said. “Hopefully I can get some more attention. That would be great. We’ll see how it all works out and who is interested a year from now. I’ll then probably start deciding where I want to play.”

I care because untruths left unchallenged are dangerous to the truth.
Trolls, especially ute trolls, love to throw out half truths, and outright falsehoods as facts. And if BYU trolls do the same on ute articles, shame on them too.

Chris B, Hedgie and I will wait to see what he decides before making a comment about his talent level. If he decides to play for the Utes, he is Awesome. And it is because the Utes rule and it is a Pac 12 school and we have been to BCS games and that More..
