Christian Thatcher - Utah Utes Recruiting

Christian Thatcher commits to Utah! Big time get for the Utes. #goutes

[@kennethkarnsdesertpineshs4478]

I've known Christian since he was a toddler. What he didn't mention is that he could play basketball, hockey, or wrestle at the college level as well. Unbelievable athlete. Utah is going to love this kid. Total blue collar guy. Knocked out cold an opposing QB his freshman year. His brother is just as amazing athlete as he is. Mom and Dad are the greatest people. I can't wait to watch him at the next level.

[@utahutesballing]

Great insight! He seems like he comes from a great family.

[@EzraLaw234]

Looks to be the next Lander Barton! super pumped for this guy

[@utahutesballing]

Yes! He looks like a beast

[@Amenras]

He looks like a beast! Excited to see him ball out! Wooo!

[@PNWUte]

0:28 Thatcher has already got a baller trophy room, even pre Ute FB

[@utahutesballing]

Agreed! The tape backs it up

[@sharolbangerter4057]

Definitely 😁😁😁

[@Thereverend27]

Really hope we can start to get 6-7 4 stars. That is what is going to take Utah on deep runs in the playoffs. Our first teams have the talent needed to make a deep playoff run but to win it all, not quite yet. Getting a few more 4 stars in a regular basis will make a huge difference.

[@utahutesballing]

Yeah I’d like that too. 6+ 4 stars in every cycle would be huge. It doesn’t feel unrealistic either. We have a chance to take the reigns of the BIG 12 and be the next best option of a kid doesn’t get a dominant/blue blood school offer.

[@Thereverend27]

@@utahutesballing I agree. I think we need to bring a Brian Johnson back or a Steve smith someone who is a bigger recognizable name for recruiting.

[@ajstaining]

Wow nice get Joey! Kids are digging your show

[@utahutesballing]

Love when the recruits show the channel some love!

[@Barca0074]

You think they can convince Jerome Myles to flip his commitment from Ole Miss?

👀🤫

[@sharolbangerter4057]

You never know what the players are going to do at the last minute !!!

[@michaelpeck1346]

Depends on if they can out bid them.

[@mikehutchings4488]

That is some pretty amazing tape and just incredible stats. Any nicknames floating around for this kid?

Nice. Let's bring in some big time 4 and 5 stars and stack up

[@utahutesballing]

Oh yeah! This 2025 class is heating up

[@brainhunter1000]

@@utahutesballingya we have had some good players commit in the past but I don’t recall many 4* committing this early in the cycle. Seems like those come later and certainly not out of state. Another sign our brand is increasing

[@trentholmberg4291]

It looks like he needs to gain 30 lbs. to be a LB, so I’d expect he’ll need a couple of years to bulk up before he can be a potential starter

[@utahutesballing]

He’s got a full year before he is out of high school. Plenty of time.

[@eldencampbell7413]

Suggestion: you should put the position they play in the title of the video next to their name.

[@utahutesballing]

Good sugggestion!

[@davephillips4691]

Put him on the IL now, so nothing happens to him. He’s an NFL safety.

[@jspiderflash5167]

Unless Isaac Wilson gets in Myles’s ear a lot?!?! Colorado is NOT a real threat to us or anyone else unless Prime goes on to the NFL, he will never be successful at Colorado or any other college football team because he doesn’t have the patience to develop the high school players!!!!
