-Added benefits of walk-through with the rule changes has allowed the new offense to be further ahead than it typically would be.

-It’s huge with Dampier already knowing the ins and outs and the intricacies of the offense. Whittingham noted that Wilson did well today too.

-Dampier was part of a prolific offense. Parker is a dynamic running back. Offensive line should be great, but they’ll see. Tight end, Bentley will s the obvious lead guy there, with King being versatile for an H-Back role. Receiver is the main group on offense that Whittingham is concern about sorting out.

-They know how to shape the offense and what to expect based off of Dampier’s track record and skillset last season.

-Getting a new OC and the QB from the same system is ideal and something that Whittingham says Utah hoped for, but they couldn’t bank on that happening.

-No one really knows what the NIL settlement is going to look like until around April 6-7 and even that could get moved back.

-He was asked about the DT room and answered that pretty quick. (Alex take: meaning he doesn’t really know what to think of it yet.)

-The vibe of this year’s team is definitely a positive one and a great vibe. Nothing at all against the old players, but the infusion of new players and new coaches couldn’t have gone any better.

-asked about Alex Jensen returning and his role in it, Whittingham didn’t choose to talk about his role. However, he said that he is really excited to have Jensen back and his track record speaks for itself. He’s really looking forward to seeing what Jensen can do as the new head coach for basketball.

-I asked if it was an easy decision for him to come back, Whittingham said, brief, definitively, “Yeah. How about that. Yeah.”
