Bogues was a freshman during Majerus’ last year (the one where Kerry Rupp coached the last 10 or so games) Giaco had to re-recruit bogut to come back.

I’m cautiously optimistic. With an emphasis on “cautiously”.

If Utah can be reasonably healthy, they’ll be in contention for the conference championship.

That said, we’ve been absolutely snake bitten at QB injuries. So what do we do? Get a running QB. Which concerns me. He’ll be effective running the ball until he’s injured – at least it is hard…[Read more]

Bogut was not a Majerus recruit.

Giacoletti took that “bare cupboard” (that had the #1 pick in it..) to the sweet 16 and a 29-6 season. Don’t blame Majerus for the current state of the bball program.

Yup, we’ve been the die-hards, tuning in through thick and thin. It’s been way too much thin over the last decade, so I’m really hopeful that Alex can get the job done. It’s been a long sad run. I haven’t given up yet, and maybe I never will be because I need something to occupy my time in the long dark cold evenings of the north woods. That…[Read more]

Guillory is the highest rated recruit of the 2 FR, had multiple blue chip offers.

I put zero stock in the MW transfers. Why do we think backups from NM and UNLV will be more than backups on a P4 team?

Wow, you are the last person I would have expected to hear that from! But, if Alex Jensen is anything like Majerus, good times should be returning sooner than later. GO UTES!

It is still a commuter school and the parking combined with the road access is bad. Utah in general is brain dead in just building more and more housing with no infrastructure to support it.
Then they wonder why inversion gets so bad. They have expanded the housing on the Wasatch front with no infrastructure to support the amount of people. So…[Read more]

Fair feelings … until proven on the field it’s just hype.

That said this running back room is going to surprise some people. It’s not a finished room either. Guillory will be here in the summer and I expect the staff to add another back after spring.

Right now they’re performing really well though.

Unless Guillory rises up, this is one man RB room. Kinda like last year.

Yes the whole room is new.

The team has been having voluntary practices for a while now. These voluntary practices are mainly focused on install.

Where are you getting your intel on the RBs? Isn’t the whole room new? What kind of practices are they holding at this point?

Not your fault! IMO, Whitt and the media led many on thinking the team was going to be better than the previous years. That may have been true, but one exception, Whitt can be the one to blame for the nose dive in the program. I think it is safe to say he is not very good at judging QB talent and ability, and significantly miscalculated and/or…[Read more]

It won’t be off campus. The whole point of these updates is to make the U a community, not a commuter school. More residential spots, entertainment and shopping, restaurants and of course athletics. They want to get to over 40,000 undergrads (see board of trustees meetings). Trust me, they already have the spots narrowed down. On campus.

It’s likely in the west parking lot of rice-Eccles and then a parking structure is to be built in the northeast parking lot. Second option is fort Douglas land, as that is released next year and will be university land. Off campus is not being considered at this time.

Hmm, not thrilled with an off-campus arena. Wouldn’t an arena be a great fit for the college life area?

QB: B … Dampier is solid but needs to improve consistency throwing the ball. The backups are up in the air … Nate Johnson is playing receiver, but he’s a good security blanket for the group.

RB: B+ to A- … The backs are performing well right now. Solid all around group. Arguably our best running back room since 2021.

WR/TE: C+ to B- … Z William…[Read more]

In interesting side-effect of this whole NIL and transfer portal nightmare is the impossibility to predict how good a team is going to be (at least for me anyway). There are a bunch of patchwork teams out there that we just have no idea how well they’re going to gel and play as a team. I’d hate to be Phil Steele trying to keep track of all of this stuff.
