The Kruger parents!!!

Kruger | 8:23 a.m. Nov. 8, 2008

If all Krugers are as dominant as Paul, Utah is going to have a dominant defense for a long time. Thanks Krugers

Missing one recruit | 8:51 a.m. Nov. 8, 2008

If Utah was smart, they'd get that quarterback from Spanish Fork. He's a dandy and the best in Utah.

Good for Kruger. If he turns out to be as good as his brother we'd all better watch out. GO BYU. Let's beat Utah!!

Utah fan | 9:36 a.m. Nov. 8, 2008

I believe Kruger will not be able to sign until 2010 as he is junior.

JThomas | 9:44 a.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Kruger will not be signing in February. He will be in the class of 2010 because he is a junior right now.

Disappointment | 10:52 a.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Too bad these players will be truly disappointed when Utah only wins 3-4 games next year. They will lose the whole team (Sakoda) and they will suck!

Somewhere, way back when, I seem to remember some head coach of the TDS saying they would never lose an in-state recruiting battle... Looks like he's not living right. What to do, what to do?

Too bad they didn't have ALL the recruits there on Thursday night. I think ALL of them would have signed right there. The stadium was electric even before the game. It would have been hard not to sign after watching that performance.

3-4 win's, what? They wont be that bad. You have seen what backup qbs for the utes have done to byu in the past. They wont be BCS busters, but they will be bowl eligable and a very capable team. They will lose a couple without sakoda, and they will lose maybe one or two based on talent, but otherwise their D will be solid.

Fear of a name only breads fear itself. It has nothing to do with respect. Are you afraid to call them BYU? BYU, BYU, BYU. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH.

Utah County Ute | 5:53 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Those Kruger boys are truly the pride of Orem. Thank goodness they saw the light and chose the U. Utah fans love and appreciate them (Paul now...Dave & Joe very soon). That's a lesson BYU fans could learn...to love your players even when they don't win, rather than bad-mouthing them the minute you lose a game or blow a play. Of course, Paul has been a huge reason that Utah hasn't lost this year. Not only is he a freakishly amazing DE, he is a great Ute. He shows major love back to the fans. Thank God for the Krugers, & GO UTES!

I can see.... | 6:16 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Kruger getting beefed just a tiny bit and getting switched to tight end or even beefed more and be an offensive linemen or nose guard to poverise anything infront of him or comes up through the middle....

CROWTONLOVER | 6:59 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

For anybody who wants to play in a bcs game, come to utah.

For anybody who is content with winning conference championships, go to byu.

Cougar Nation | 7:08 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Utes will get knocked out of BCS by BYU. You will always be 2nd to BYU and you'll still be pumping my gas at the station. Go Cougs!!!

Please kitty cats | 7:37 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Great recruits UTES! Kyle and his staff do an awesome job recruiting. Utah will be fine next year. Yes we break in a new QB but we have three fifths of our offensive line back, nearly everyone on defense minus McCain and Joe Dale. Marquis Wilson will be back along with David Reed, Aiona Key and also Dudley LaPorte will be a Ute. Utah will be legit. We may not run the table, but we will be an 8-9 win team and challenge in the Mtn. West that is one thing that is for sure.

Dumb | 8:05 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

I didn't know hs graduation was required by the utes

Great Recruits | 8:23 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Congradulations to both players. I am looking forward to watching Utah's defense remain dominant for years to come. Go UTES!!!

Good Choice | 10:01 p.m. Nov. 8, 2008

Kruger is right. He picked the better team for a future of BCS bustin games. After 11/22, UTEs rule the MWC.

Re: Please kitty cats | 10:38 a.m. Nov. 9, 2008

Joe Dale is a Jr. Greg Newman and Brice McCain are the senior starters on defense. Terrell Cole is also a Sr.

I would not worry too much about the kicking game. Sellwood and Vroman should be more than capable.

Prediction: Utah's Kruger dynasty > TDS's Reynolds dynasty.
